Fridge broke. Sim's magic Repario failed. FIRE! Extinguished the fire. After the fire was out the fridge still had electrical sparks. I don't remember if that is normal or not.

Unable to "normally repair" the fridge because clicking on it only gave one option - Magic. i.e. no option to Repair or Replace appears after the fire.
Normal UI broken which is why I submitted this bug report.
The spell is not the problem. Spells fail sometimes and cause a fire. The problem is that after extinguishing the fire, options were missing from UI. Reproduced twice before I reported it 19 days ago - Missing UI.
You asked me to: "... start a new save game with the same Sims, cheat the deviance aspiration to get the option to sabotage, then sabotage fridge to break it"
Heh. Is that all? Just find spare time to research how to do things you asked, that I've never done before in game, to repeat the bug a third time? No thanks. I've given details and shown the problem in pics. It happened. I'm letting EA and other players know about a potential problem. I'm moving on.
