dUSt Posted October 1, 2003 Posted October 1, 2003 So I'm standing in the kitchen, heating up a day old piece of chicken club pizza. As I stare at the plate turn round and round, for some reason, I push the stop button, and then the start button again. To my disbelief, the plate starts turning in the opposite direction! So I'm like, "what tha?!". I thought it was a mind trick--an optical illusion. So I do it again. Push stop. Push start. It switches again! To my stunning amazement, for some reason, my microwave alternates between clockwise and counter-clockwise rotation. I'll be recovering for the next few hours. Peas.
Tony Posted October 1, 2003 Posted October 1, 2003 If I found that out. I would probably play with the microwave like its a toy... hmmm maybe I Should see if mine does the same thing
Raven Posted October 1, 2003 Posted October 1, 2003 my microwave doesn't have a turning plate... how sad... I wanna to play with one that does now...
ryanmeyersmusic Posted October 1, 2003 Posted October 1, 2003 that's the coolest thing i've ever heard...
notbilln Posted October 1, 2003 Posted October 1, 2003 (edited) Dude. That's bizzare. There must be some reason for that. I can't think of any now. That's going to keep me up at night. Maybe it was designed by Ford. Ford puts lots of wierd things into their cars that aren't obvious until someone explains them. Sorta like this. Maybe its for the defrost setting, or in case it gets stuck. Edited October 1, 2003 by notbilln
Paladin D Posted October 1, 2003 Posted October 1, 2003 I don't got a twirling plate in my microwave. Yours is possessed by a demon.
KennC Posted October 1, 2003 Posted October 1, 2003 See here, it helps to be old ... I knew that! Peace Ken

ReformationNow Posted October 1, 2003 Posted October 1, 2003 Dude! Mine does it too! I watched it like, 10 times. This is better than TV! I'm going back to the microwave...
Norseman82 Posted October 1, 2003 Posted October 1, 2003 (edited) Is this one of those occurrances that only happen on the spring and autumn equinoxes??? (Now I've started a new urban legend!!) Edited October 1, 2003 by Norseman82
siebersusi Posted October 1, 2003 Posted October 1, 2003 deja vue dust ....I just noticed that about a week ago that my micro-wave did that also...I never did share it with anyone though....I'm glad someone else brought it up... mom
emalouhow Posted October 1, 2003 Posted October 1, 2003 what do you know...mine does it too!!!!!!! How cool is that? Just make sure you don't watch it too long... ****rushes back to the microwave*****
Jake Huether Posted October 1, 2003 Posted October 1, 2003 deja vue dust ....I just noticed that about a week ago that my micro-wave did that also...I never did share it with anyone though....I'm glad someone else brought it up... mom That's incredible! I noticed the same thing last month! But I just shrugged it off. Kinda dumb if you ask me. From an engineer's perspective (if it's rotating one way or the other you're gunna get full coverage). Anywho...

You better call your priest on this one!!! Ha Ha-That's funny
Tony Posted October 1, 2003 Posted October 1, 2003 hmm.. if it rotated in 1 direction too long, would the plate come off of its screw. hinge, or whatever its on?.. just a guess
Dave Posted October 1, 2003 Posted October 1, 2003 Wait a minute! Now that I think about it, I've seen my microwave go in one direction for a bit and then in the other direction! I never thought anything about it, though. Am I crazy for not making it into a big deal and stuff?
morostheos Posted October 1, 2003 Posted October 1, 2003 Wow! I can't wait to go home and check out my microwave! That's so cool! Maybe it does that so the gears are evenly worn going both ways - then it might last longer?

BullnaChinaShop Posted October 1, 2003 Posted October 1, 2003 I noticed this as couple years ago with both mine and my parents microwave but as others here I never said anything obout it until now.
