So a microwave is either going to work or it's not going to work.
When a microwave burns out, it just doesn't work anymore.
It would cost more money to have someone come look at it than it would to buy a new one.
Yeah, any appliance that's over seven years old and you think it's acting up, just don't get it repaired.
Unless it's like a Sub-Zero refrigerator.
So electricity is nothing but black and white.
That's literally the two wires that are inside the wall.
You'll see a green wire, which is the ground.
You should definitely be able to put a dimmer in yourself.
All you have to do is if you have a little tester, right?
A tester is a $10 battery operated thing that you take, you turn it on, you touch a wire with it and it will beep.
Now, it's not going to tell you what's there for voltage, but it's going to tell you something is or isn't energized.
So it tests the voltage from the outside.
And it also will test an outlet, but again, you've got to make sure you're in the hot side of the outlet.
If you want to do your own dimmer, go to your panel, your circuit breakers, have someone hold that tester next to the switch that you currently have, and keep switching it off.
When it stops beeping, you can take it apart and you'll notice that on a switch, there's nothing but a black and white wire and you just have to connect the dimmer wires to those wires.
