Microwave smell cont'd

So, it turns out the smell wasn't the microwave. I'm so glad I didn't need a new one.

Instead it was a burning electrical outlet and adapter that I didn't know was there.

Replacing the outlet helped because I'm cool and can do that real quick.

AWOO!

There was evidence of burning on both sides of the adapter, but mostly on the side that faced the wall.

I scrubbed, scraped, and scoured the plug of the microwave to be sure of good electrical contact.
