A microwave oven is a household appliance familiar to every housewife. But there are times when the assistant breaks down, or a separate part ceases to function, and it is a pity to throw it away. Do not hurry! An old microwave can be used for other purposes. Let's consider in more detail what can be done.
Using microwave instead of other household appliances
Modern furnaces are multifunctional. Therefore, in them you can cook a variety of dishes.
In addition, the device can also replace known household appliances. We will study this issue in more detail.
Oven
An ordinary microwave oven can become an indispensable assistant in the kitchen, where there is no possibility of installing an oven.
Important! The use of the old microwave instead of the oven in full mode can only be with convection and grill.
When this condition is met, the hostess will be able to enjoy almost all options of dishes that are cooked in the oven. This list includes pies, baked meat dishes, casseroles, cakes, biscuits and all other options.
Some housewives specify that in such an oven a successful Easter cake is obtained for Easter.
Unfortunately, in the absence of convection or grill function, it is required to take into account the proposed recipe from the manufacturers. To do this, you just need to purchase a special book with food options and start experimenting.
Fan
The design of the microwave device is quite full. One of its useful elements is a fan. It can be used as an independent device, which will be a real salvation in hot weather.
Important! Before using this part, it must be thoroughly washed.
Let us consider in more detail the correct connection to the power supply by the example of SMF-3RDEA E Class 230V 50Hz BE 03.H.22 D.
This model has three findings, which are delimited by location. Two of them are located in close proximity, and one stands separately. He is the beginning of the winding.
The wire that is closest to the freestanding is responsible for the increased speed of the device and is the first tap, and the second tap contributes to the rated speed of the equipment.
The best connection option is the connection of the beginning and end of "2".
If nevertheless there are certain difficulties in identifying these contacts, resistance measurement is required. Between the indicated wires it should be the maximum value - approximately 500 Ohms.
Important! If a person does not understand the electrical network, then an independent connection of a fan to a network with a voltage of 220 V can lead to irreparable consequences.
Before doing this assembly, you should carefully study all the features of the process. And it’s best to consult a specialist.
How to use a microwave camera
It happens that a household appliance burns out completely, that is, the model is not repairable. If it is a pity to throw out your darling, then you should think about its neutral application. For example, in the form of a bread box or a special storage container.
As the advantages of a do-it-yourself bread box, you can note the tight fixation of the door. This will prevent even the smallest bugs from entering the products.
- First, all internal elements are removed from the equipment. This allows you to reduce the weight of the product.
- The power cord is also removed.
- After that, the decoration of the appearance is carried out. The panel of the microwave oven can be painted using paint for metal or pasted with interesting pictures. It will require your own imagination.
An interesting option is the addition of LEDs to the device, they are used instead of the backlight and are activated in the dark. This add-on requires a miniature step-down transistor. It is fixed to the inside of the product and the power cord. Keep in mind that you can simply leave this element without deleting it prematurely.
How to use individual microwave parts
In the manufacture of a bread box from a broken microwave oven, a complete cleaning of the case from internal parts is required. Exactly these spare parts can be sold if they were dismantled correctly:
- Transformer. It will be required as a main element for the manufacture of miniature contact welding. When completely unnecessary or unusable, it can be sent for scrap.
- Small switches will come in handy for a home master, an electrician.
- The motor responsible for the rotation of the dishes may be needed in the design of various models.
- A plateau with radio components will attract the attention of radio amateurs.
- Heat-resistant light bulb with voltage of 220 V.
- Magnetron - magnets are removed or used as equipment for drying firewood. Extreme care is required.
This is how an irreparable microwave can become a useful thing for its owner.
