The plastic under the turntable of my microwave has completely worn through...

[reastie]

..Is it safe?

Under where the turntable wheels are the plasticy metalish layer has worn through completely, it's not that old but very well used . It's practically impossible to clean as it's all coming apart under there and looks pretty rank. It worries me if it's OK/safe still though because of this, I know you have to be careful and you're not suppose to use them if you drop them but now I forget why

I had this a few weeks ago, tried to clean it, with flash spray with bleach, thought I was doing really well getting all the rusty bits off only to find that I'd actually rubbed a hole right through and could see my worktop - needless to say I binned it and got a new one, sainsbury's online had a half price sale, not sure if it's still on, so in answer to your question, no I don't think it;s safe as it could be the same as mine and one rub away from a big hole at the bottom !

Same thing happened to mine so binned it straight away. Always buy microwaves with uncoated stainless steel finish now to (hopefully) avoid it happening again.

It calls for a new one?

Think I'd ditch it too. I've got a Tesco value one which has held up great over the last few years.

Yes, I just wondered if I was being OTT by getting a new microwave as this one does actually work - DH usually makes a fuss about these things if it is still in working order
