Do you trurn your microwave OFF at wall?

[squidipa]

Simple q do you turn your microwave off at wall? we do but i own two microwaves and the same problem has occurred in both diff models, Touch pad not working weather it be some buttons or all, Its temperamental in that department. is this an age issue or could this be linked to Turing appliance off at wall? any thoughts. I think its an age issue but curious if anyone else turns it off at wall and then this issue has soon happened after that.

We use microwave about 10-15 times dailey.

No, the time would never be right if I did.

im concerned that turning the mic on and off might be making my touch pad go wrong some how i dunno

I've never turned it off at the wall! It probably took me an hour to work out how to set the time when we got it and I seriously couldn't be bothered resetting it everyday!

We turn other things off at the wall, like our toaster, kettle, computer and stereo system when they are not in use.

LOL - well I've never had a TV explode on me! We don't turn ours off at the wall - it's too hard to move the TV cabinet to get back there!

we turn it off on the switch not at wall due to also not being able to get to main plug

Sometimes I do, but the time is so easy to set and for some reason there are very limited power plugs in this kitchen (energy efficient? LOL) so I mainly turn it off so I can use the plug. I don't think that would have an effect on the touch pad though, I think some things get a bit tempremental (sp?) over time. My phone gets like that sometimes!

cheers leasha for that yeah we dont use our mic for time just for warming bottles and defrosting heating IYKWIM think tomorrow i might go see what other ones are out on the market. Both my mic's were bought 5 years ago from new so doesn't surprise me i am having issues with them at least my kettle can heat to a certain temp like 30 35 40 45 and so on degree's helps with making bottles i LOVE my kettle great also for making tea and milo for kiddies

i never turn them at the power point . often when you turn them back you can short the computer pad out , cost heaps to repair the touch pads .

well thats my thinking i mean there would be stored current right?

We leave ours plugged in and the touch pad's gone a bit inaccurate...you have to press slightly above 'start' to start, and slightly below 'clear' to stop. Weird.
