I will miss this microwave

I love this microwave it has survived several children and 1 foil incident. We have had it since 2010 and it's just now giving me issues. Wont heat food properly (double cook time), sometimes fan won't turn off (reset it) it is in fantastic condition (clean freak) except 1 black spot where my son decided to put foil in it. It still looks almost like the day I got it. Looking to replace it now, it will be missed!

Was good until it wasn't

I've had this microwave for 11 years. I've always loved it until last night. As I was warming a bowl of soup, the roof suddenly caught fire, like other reviewers said. Thankfully I was still in the kitchen when I smelled it burning. I wish there was a way to repair it because as I said, it's been a good microwave.

Caught Fire!

Caught fire like the others reviews. This microwave has worked fine over the years. It looks good; it has adequate space. It cooks a little slower since it's 950 watts. It's easy to use. Put in a mini bag of popcorn and I noticed the smell just before the MW turned off. The plastic inside the top of the MW was on fire and melting. Bag of popcorn came out unscathed -perfectly popped and edible - no burn marks or holes in the bag.

EXHAUST FAN CONSTANTLY RUNS

I have always bought GE microwaves. Don't know if it is a new feature on all their microwaves but the exhaust fan automatically comes on when using the microwave and cannot be turned off until the microwave turns off itself and is excessively loud and annoying. After installing it I honestly thought there was something wrong with it until reading the instruction manual which noted that this was a feature. If I knew about it ahead of time I would have gone with another brand or model. It's that annoying. Extremely dissatisfied.

Fire Beware

For 10 years this has worked great with the exception of a curious melted spot on the upper left of the center circular top panel. It was purchased new so I don't know when or why that would have occurred. This morning I was cooking 3 slices of turkey bacon, 1 minute each, covered, I smelled burning plastic and thank goodness I was in the kitchen because my whole home could have burned down. I glanced in the microwave window and the whole circular top plate was aflame. I put it out fire and searched for recalls and saw none on this model. I am a clean freak, so no, it was not grease or a dirty oven. I thought I would give this 2 stars because it served well for years but only 2 because of the potential fire hazard. I see someone else was kind enough to post the same issue. D Anderson

Burst into flames!

Ours was not actually running as a microwave when it caught fire. We were merely running its exhaust fan. We noticed an odd odor and turned to see flames inside the oven shooting down from the center of its ceiling. We opened the oven door and sprayed with our fire extinguisher. Once the fire was out, we noticed what looked like blackened insulation and metal or plastic pieces hanging down from the ceiling.

It caught on fire! Just like the others.

I thought I smelled burning plastic right after hitting the popcorn button, walked into the next room and the smell got stronger. Looked in the window, it's still running and there's flames shooting down from the top and dripping plastic. The popcorn hadn't even started to pop yet. Luckily this unit didn't burn the house down as I caught it in time. There seems to be defect in this model as I see others having the exact same fire in the same area.

The microwave spontaneously caught fire

It caught fire. We were heating food and thankfully we were near the microwave and saw the flame inside. The inside dish cracked and the ring that holds the plate melted...

Plastic inside catching on fire

Just used the microwave and immediately noticed the molten plastic starting to drip. After a quick search of the model number I see that other customers are also having issues with the plastic inside catching on fire.

Short Life

This microwave is in our 2nd home and less than 5 years old. this is what happened while popping a bag of popcorn. Good thing I was standing right next to microwave.
