Imploding Oven during build!

[MontyBonjangles]

Jeebus maneebus! 

 

I was in the middle of a build for a rig for the father for his birthday when the the pc gods wanted blood, the result:

 

 

I nearly laid a brick, and I was in the middle of installing the mobo! 

 

The implosion band is gone and now im left with microwave meals, takeaways and a pair of rather damp underwear.

 

The moral of this story: sacrifice something before doing a build...

Thanks for making me laugh lol

[SirReallySam]

Haha, I would have shat a brick as well man! :D

[Puppet]

Wait... How did the oven implode?

[Rhotis]

That is an odd place to build a PC.   :P

[MontyBonjangles]

Mustve been a defect in the glass, an implosion due to the vacuum and the glass was then thrown out

I'm never going to look at my oven in the same way again, no idea this could happen.

 

To be honest I'd be after some compensation, wouldn't be so funny if a kid was around there at the time. Not a fan of claim culture, but I think this warrants it.

 

At least get them to buy you some new underwear :lol:

[FireFox]

[MontyBonjangles]

Hotpoint

Hotpoint

Makes sense, their washing machines do something similar, saw it on TV during the week.

God damn, they aren't supposed to stick concrete blocks into the washer rofl

[Common_Courtesy]

I'm gonna start wearing bomb disposal gear in my kitchen  :mellow:

[Shrubpig]

This doesn't even make sense XD

I think the concrete block is meant to be there in all washing machines, it acts as a balance. The problem was that the seam of the drum is weak and prone to splitting and the drum unfolds causing the block to shoot through the top IIRC.

 

It was on Watchdog near the start, you can probably get it on Iplayer.

When I said stick blocks in the washer I meant in the drum lol

 

And I do know they are actually used to balance :)

Oh right lol, yeah breeze blocks and washing machines don't mix.

 

Thoughts that's what you meant, just didn't want people to think that this was self inflicted, Hotpoint are clearly on a mission to wipe out the population in kitchen related deaths :lol:

rofl yea, still though, that is pretty mental

I haven't seen this happen on an oven before, but I suspect they use tempered glass, and if there's defects in the production, they can shatter in an explosive manner. It has happened to a lot of people in showers...

[MontyBonjangles]

Can always happen!

[TicTac]

That sucks :/

[MontyBonjangles]

Of course it does lol! I am going to eat nice healthy microwave meals for the next week...

[T.Vengeance]

Damn this made my day! Thanks :)

[MontyBonjangles]

Haha! I probably know that I will never forget the time my oven blew up on me making a pc....

[MontyBonjangles]

When appliances become bombs...
