   This thing is in working order and programmes.   
      
   It had some gunk penetrating the stiring motor   
   couplig shaft area that had carbonized and would cause   
   visible arcing, until the polyproplylene components   
   were scraped completely clean.   
      
   It's just inconvenient and unsafe to run without   
   confirmation of an obvious countdown in the run   
   time.   
      
   If I brush my thumb across the display the major   
   ' 1 ' and 'ON' segments display, regardless of   
   operating state or cooking time. These fade   
   gradually.
