Microwave's glass shattered. What the heck?

[Ant]

Hi! I hope these are the correct newsgroups to talk about microwaves
(not ovens).

This morning, I found out that the kitchen's microwave's door glass
shattered overnight (there's a hole on the glass and some shattered
pieces on the floor). It wasn't used/on overnight and was used yesterday
for dinner.

Does anyone know what the heck happened? I did a quick Google search and
found out this is not so rare since GE's microwaves does it too. I can't
seem to find anything on Sanyo's microwaves' glass shatterings. I did
find http://bringgoodthingstolife.org/ (6/28/2007) with a video of a
news report. The microwave is a few years old (don't remember the exact
year).

No one is hurt though, but that was scary. I am never going to be in
front of a microwave! I did notice one of the fire alarm was beeping
every five minutes, but I don't know if that was related or if it just
whining about low batteries. Also, the weather has been a lot warmer
during the daytime 90+ degrees(F) and 50s at night (maybe temperature
related to explode the glass?).

Thank you in advance. :)

Also, the microwave is near the refridegerator (on the right) and below
a vent (central air condition and heater were not used for weeks/a few
months). I don't think that would affect it since it had been like this
for many years including former microwaves that died (didn't shatter).

Yes, that can be a possibility. :)

Or more likely, someone else in the house broke the glass. The OP should
certainly contact the microwave oven's manufacturer to discuss the
problem.

None of the three members did it. It's too late now since the microwave
was placed with a new one and I doubt Sanyo would care since it is like
five years old or so.
