What Near North Side does
to a microwave.

Half the homes in ZIP code 60611 were built in 1986 or later, and nine in ten sit in buildings with 50 or more units.

During the February 2011 blizzard, at least 900 cars and buses were stranded on Lake Shore Drive, some of their occupants for as long as 12 hours.

Jean Baptiste Point du Sable built the first known permanent settlement in the area in the 1780s, on the north bank of the Chicago River near today's Michigan Avenue Bridge.

Tower living

In a tower a microwave that smokes brings alarms and building staff quickly, so the door stays shut, the cycle is stopped and the breaker is switched off, and whatever is burning inside the cavity starves out.

Apartments and walk-ups

A countertop microwave in a studio often stands on a shelf with its vents against a wall, and a unit that shuts off partway through a cycle is usually its thermal cutout reacting to heat with nowhere to go.

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.
