Was anything else in the home damaged at about the same time? If so, it may have been caused by a power grid switching surge or lightning. It may be an insurance claim. If it was plugged into a surge suppressor, the manufacturer of the suppressor may pay for repair or replacement up to your deductible, if the surge passed through the suppressor.
Just a thought, I hate to pay for something if someone else is willing pay for it.
“The reason lightning rarely strikes the same place twice is that the same place is usually not there the second time around.”
Experience is what you get when you don't get what you want. Any wire cut to length will be too short. I must be a near GENIUS. All my teachers told me I was at the very PEAK of the bell curve!
