Peeling paint




By Little Boy on Nov 02, 2007

" "
The paint is peeling on the inside wall of the microwave. Is it safe to continue using this product. Is there a paint that can be used?

-   My microwave is also peeling paint inside. None of the comments
say if it is safe. I am VERY worried, my warranty has expired and I
can't afford to get a new one....I will NEVER buy GE again....-   Guest

> The paint on the inside and bottom became loose after a few months
use, and wipes out in big hunks with just a damp cloth. My friends say
this is an indication of lead paint - not too keen for a microwave!

that is you - General Electric.

happening again - so I am requesting a refund of the purchase price,
which was $59.96.

-   I am having the same problem with paint peeling on the inside top of microwave. I don't believe this should be a consumers job to fix the manufactures defects. The manufacture needs to step up to the plate and deal with their defective microwave!!!

You need to thoroughly clean it, then sand it smooth to removew all the loose paint.

Once it's squeaky clean and dry, you can apply high-temperature appliance paint, which is available in brush-on or spray-on form at big box stores like Wal-Mart, home improvement centers like Lowe's and appliance parts stores.

You can use any alliance white spray paint to cover up and respray.It does not have heavy metals in it. BUT in all honesty its a load of bull that customers have unit which peel there is a standard and it not been kept and those manufactoreres should be held accountable. boycott the product. power to the people

I am having the same problem of peeling paint. I don't think this is something that the consumer should be fixing on their own. This is a manufacturer's problem and something should be down or there will be a class action lawsuit drawn up

Comment by kmfddd, posted on Nov 16, 2007

Hi there, I also have the same microwave and the paint is peeling inside as well. I don't think it is a good idea to fix it but now that I know it is not just mine I am going to take this further. Obviously there is a manufacturing problem here and I bet that we are not alone. Anyone else out there with the same problem??
