What Wilmette does
to a microwave.

Landowners paid to build a railroad station so trains would stop here, service began in 1869, and the village incorporated on September 19, 1872.

Of Wilmette's roughly 10,700 housing units, 76 percent are detached houses, and 56 percent were built before 1960.

The median home in Wilmette was built in 1957.

All of Chicago

On a lake

Long power lines through the woods to lake houses drop in summer storms and return with a spike, and a microwave that stays dark afterward has most often blown its internal fuse, a part for the technician.

Older housing stock

Restored kitchens often hide the microwave in a pantry or a cabinet to keep the period look, and a unit boxed in without the trim kit meant for it overheats and stops mid-cycle until it is given room to breathe.

Family houses

In a family house the microwave warms bottles, snacks and leftovers from dawn to bedtime, and its door latch and turntable wear out ahead of anything else inside it.

When a microwave
cannot wait in Wilmette.

In Wilmette 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.
