What Tiburon does
to a microwave.

The last railroad-run passenger ferry left Tiburon in 1941, although trains kept running until 1967, and fast ferries now link the town with San Francisco.

More than half of Tiburon's housing, about 52 percent, was built between 1960 and 1979, by Census Bureau estimates for 2020–2024.

Utility gas is the heating fuel in about three-quarters of occupied homes, with electricity at about 20 percent.

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.

Seasonal houses

A microwave left plugged in through a storm season in an empty house takes every surge on its fuse and board, and the one that greets the owners with a dark display usually lost its fuse in the first storm.

Trim kits and drawers

Trim kits give a built-in microwave the airflow it needs, and a custom panel that closes off the vent slots makes the unit stop mid-cycle on its thermal cutout, which the repair checks before any part is changed.

When a microwave
cannot wait in Tiburon.

In Tiburon as anywhere, these five mean the microwave stays switched off until a technician has seen it: sparks or a flame inside, smoke behind the window, a burning smell, a breaker that drops, or a door that no longer seals.
