We (the Boulder U-Fix-It Clinic) wrote a Microwave Oven Diagnosis and Repair guide and shared it on:
https://www.boulderufixitclinic.org/repair-resources
https://docs.google.com/document/d/1iPLeyMYtYwAYYqjfBloGxHalCGik0mpwDZLyRTqeHrU/edit?usp=sharing

Our experience with microwave oven repairs is that the door safety micro switches are the most common problem. ($0.34 USD each on Amazon in packs of 10. Free if you harvest them from unrepairable appliances!)
Easy and inexpensive to replace

Good luck starting your own Repair Café!

]]> Comment on Right to repair is on the rise globally by Mend It, Australia https://www.repaircafe.org/en/right-to-repair-is-on-the-rise-globally/#comment-15810 Tue, 06 May 2025 02:33:52 +0000 https://www.repaircafe.org/right-to-repair-is-on-the-rise-globally/#comment-15810 “Action groups, including the Australian Repair Network, have been making their case for years.”

Mend It, Australia has been an action group or #voicesforrepair for over a decade and mostly on a daily basis! Like the Australian Repair Network, our group also works pro bono to support the Australian Repair Movement.

The re-elected Labor Government has another opportunity to introduce right to repair reforms that have been recommended since November 2021. Will it have the courage, this time around?

WD-40 had 60 packages for Canada and a limited time to spread them last year. They may have a new offer later; we’ll keep our Canadian network posted.

It looks like the link for WD-40 for Canada is no longer working. I get a message: This type form is now closed.

Is there an updated linkI can use to order free products in Canada?

In many cases, people teach themselves, like they do with the other skills offered at Repair Cafés. Safety comes first, of course!
