Q: How do I know if my microwave fuse is blown?

• <div><p>If your microwave is on the fritz and you suspect the fuse has blown, you can check it to confirm it&rsquo;s the source of the problem. Start by disassembling the panel and carefully checking the fuse filament or ceramic components. If your microwave uses a glass fuse, you&rsquo;ll likely see discoloration and a melted filament. If your microwave contains a ceramic fuse, you&rsquo;ll need to use a multimeter continuity tester to check if there&rsquo;s continuity.</p></div>

Q: Can you leave your oven racks in the oven while self-cleaning?

• <div><p>As tempting as it may seem to leave your oven racks in the oven during the self-clean cycle, we don&rsquo;t recommend it. Stainless steel racks can crack or warp due to extreme temperatures. They may also damage the porcelain that lines your cavity by expanding and contracting throughout the cycle.</p></div>

Q: Is an electric fireplace worth it?

• <div><p>If you're looking for supplemental heating for your home, an electric fireplace can be worth purchasing. A prefab, freestanding model will only set you back a few hundred dollars and can help to heat up drafty or cooler rooms. Electric fireplaces don't have the <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/fireplace-maintenance-tips.htm">maintenance requirements of gas or wood-burning fireplaces</a> and don't require you to buy wood or other fuel. </p></div>

Q: What is the most common type of microwave?

• <div><p>Countertop microwaves are the most common type of microwave. This is because they don't require installation; all a countertop microwave needs is a stable surface and an outlet. Low-end countertop microwaves can be found for less than <b>$100</b> with high-end models going for up to <b>$700</b>, making them an accessible option for most people.</p></div>
