# Microwave repair in Marina.

On the Marina's filled ground a microwave hood combination hangs on a wall plate above the cooking surface, and after a strong shake in this seismic zone its mounting bolts are worth checking before the next meal.

## What Marina does to a microwave.

The Marina stands largely on landfill, most of it mud and sand dredged from the bay floor, on the grounds of the 1915 Panama–Pacific International Exposition.

That fill liquefied in the 1989 Loma Prieta earthquake, badly damaging the neighborhood and touching off a small firestorm, and the Marina was rebuilt quickly afterward.

Detached houses make up only about 10 percent of housing in ZIP code 94123, while about 41 percent of units are in buildings of ten or more, in the Census Bureau's 2020–2024 survey estimates.

About 63 percent of that ZIP code's housing was built before 1940.

Also known as Marina District.

### Apartments and walk-ups

In a small apartment kitchen the microwave hood combination hangs low over the cooking surface to save counter space, and steam from every pot rises into its touchpad and fan, which wear sooner than they would in a bigger room.

### On the water

Salt air off the ocean or a bay corrodes a microwave's latch hooks, lamp sockets and the contacts behind its touchpad, and a unit that starts only after a second close is showing that corrosion at its door interlocks.

### Tower living

Tower kitchens are usually all-electric and often cannot duct outside, so the microwave hood combination cleans the air through a charcoal filter, and one left unchanged for years is why the apartment still smells of last week's dinner.
