If it's new, it should still be under warranty, so I would contact Whirlpool at http://whirlpool.com/custserv/index.jsp

Problem with the Whirlpool GH5184XPQ 1100 Watts Microwave Oven: In turning the microwave on this morning, a faint electric sparking was heard. Upon shutting it off and opening the door an acrid burning...

The problem is that the magnetron is arcing when it is running and it has found a couple bare spots 'exposing the metal'. The microwave uses a special industrial white enamel paint to prevent arcing, it is very important that the oven be removed from service until the situation is rectified otherwise there is a danger of shorting out the magnetron.

You have to take the casing off he microwave and you should be able to see the fuse in there. Your going to have to order the fuse so i would call a parts aplliance place and ask them what fuse that woul be and try that.
