Alcohol evaporates. Put a few drops of alcohol in a paper cup and leave it overnight. It should be gone in less than a day. A year should evaporate a lot of alcohol.
If you want to be extra safe and you're tech-savvy, open the case carefully and look for moisture. Otherwise, plug it in somewhere relatively safe and try it (fire extinguisher Class C or ABC handy. -- You need an BC in the kitchen anyway. http://garages.about.com/od/toolsmaterials/a/fire_extinguisher.htm).
Once tested, put the microwave where you need it.

probably blew the magnetron or high voltage transformer DONT test either unless u discharge the capacitor possible shock risk that unit is still live even unplugged.... i wanna telll you these days that micros are disposable items because the parts are gonna cost more than just to buy a new one plus if any arching occured that same problem is gonna occur again if it did work so basicallly that miro is kapout... hope this helped
SOURCE: over heating and shuting off
I am not surprised! Cloth of anysort is not recommended to be placed in a microwave oven!
That includes undies and socks which many try to speed the drying time of.
Regarding the popcorn.. The oven is overheating due to a possible containment in a hutch, where insufficient airflow is available to lower the temperature. Pull the unit away from the wall to allow more airflow, clean the vents and help it breathe.
Please rate my help++++Thanks for using FIXYA

This is not good, the magnetron is arcing because there is exposed metal. The manufacture provides a special enamel white paint that insulates the interior to prevent this. I would contact GE or appliance repairman and not use the oven until this is dealt with, running the microwave unchecked will eventually burn out the magnetron.
Hello,
the problem of this unit is power related.
First, remove the unit's power cord from the wall, wait for about 30mins, then plug it back in. It may cool by then and might power on. If it doesn't power on, plug it into another outlet, to make sure there electricity entering into the unit.
If plugging into another power outlet doesn't power it on then the unit is most likely having a power problem.
When electric current comes from the power outlet into the cooker, it goes straight into the power supply board which then circulates the current into the unit. So if the cooker doesn't power on, the first thing is to make sure there is power entering into the machine.
So check the power cord, if it is a 3-pin plug, it must have a fuse in it. check the fuse if it is not blown. if fuse is intact, then power supply board should be checked.
If any machine or electronics device doesn't power on, it means its having a power problem. it might have worked fine in the past, but that's electronics for you. Power surge, irregular power supply, excess power supply, etc can affect the unit thereby not making it to power on.
This unit must have a power supply board in it where power enters from the mains. A capacitor, fuse, diode, etc may have been defective on the power board and maybe that's why its not making the unit turn on. There might also be some disconnection or something, inside the unit which is not making it to power on.
To actually find out what's wrong, you need to disassemble the unit with a screw driver and check what's wrong. You will be needing a meter and continuity tester in order to read the components on the power board, once you detect any bad component, you can make necessary replacement at any electronics accessories store withing our vicinity. This is the only way by which you can detect the problem.
Of course, testing the power board with a meter will require someone that has the ability. So it you can't, then you might be needing the help of a repairman or you can call a friend that has the ability to help you out.
I wish you the best of luck.
Regards.
