Has anyone heard or used Broward Factory with their claim to repair any/all appliances and air conditioning for $183 per year? ( This is a special rate going on till the end of January for Village residents). According to their ad, your microwave would have been repaired at no charge whatsoever. When I called them, they told me that most of their business is in the Villages and that folks use them because they aren't happy with the Villages warranty program. Any truth to this? I'm anxious to know if any Villagers have had to file a claim and if they back up their promises.

Did you see in todays paper that a small fire occurred yesterday in a microwave. This seems to be an unusual (and scary) coincidence .

Today's paper reports a small fire in St. Charles. Cause of fire reported to be an electrical malfunction in the microwave.

Met a woman at Floormasters a few months ago and she told me she was redoing her kitchen due to a fire caused by the microwave. The microwave started all by itself when they were not home. She lives in Hadley so the unit could not have been very old.

We too had a Sharp for over 12 years and it was as good as new when we sold the house.

I think we're going to replace our microwave.

Back in December 2007 GE recalled 92,000 combination microwave and conventional wall ovens sold between 2000 and 2003. Specific model numbers applied. FYI, you can check out the links below:

Apparently, there seems to be a continuing problem with the GE product line. In today's Daily Sun there was a report of a fire caused by a microwave oven. Although the brand wasn't specified, one can assume it's GE based on the fact that GE is the brand of choice for TV developer when he supplies the appliances. The fire occured in a relatively new home in the Village of St Charles so the microwave oven wasn't that old. This wasn't the first and unfortunately probably won't be the last fire caused by a faulty microwave oven here in TV. There have been others. It first came to my attention when I first got to TV last March and met a couple shopping for cabinets in a store. I happened to speak with them and they told me about their unfortunate kitchen fire caused by their microwave oven. At the time I didn't give it much thought, but, as I keep hearing these stories, I have to think we have a real issue here.

When I moved to TV, I left behind in NY a Sharp Carousel Microwave oven wall mounted under the cabinets. I had it for 14 trouble free years and I'm sure it's still going strong for the new owner. When the dust settles, the wife and I plan to replace the developer supplied GE appliances. We happened to check prices one day and found that one could not get much cheaper appliances than the GE ones we have. Now for safety sake it's time to upgrade.
