Quite often this is due to grease or food particles stuck somewhere in the cavity of the oven or stuck on or behind the waveguide cover.

The waveguide cover (also called a spatter shield) is usually about the size of a playing card and often held in place by a plastic rivet.

It can be fragile, and the metal edges of the oven behind it can be sharp, so be careful!

The cover and the metal behind it should be cleaned with a mild, non-ammonia cleaner.

If the metal of the oven wall is burned or chipped, the area will first have to be sanded smooth and cleaned and dried thoroughly.

Then you can apply some high-temperature appliance paint, available from places like Wal-Mart, Lowe's or Builder's Square.

If the cavity metal of the oven is cracked or split, you can use a small amount of steel-based epoxy such as JB-WELD to patch the crack or hole.

Once that dries thoroughly, you can sand it very smooth, then apply paint.

If your waveguide cover is burned, it will need to be replaced.

It provides critical protection for the magnetron.

SOURCE: GE Spacemaker - microwave works but the inside plate doesn't spin

you have a bad turntable motor or a bad control board.. start with the motor 9 time out of 10 this is your problem.. you can pick up this part at your local parts house or order online.. look for universal part. this will be alot cheaper then the oem.. just take the screws out of bottom panel under microwave. panel will drop down. you will see little round motor about 2in' make sure unit is unplugged.

I have a Sharp Carousel Microwave R-1460A. The disk on the ceiling, opposite the warming plate and about the same size, has severe burn marks (probably from food splatters). Any idea what that part is

see this indication and fix it. God bless you
  1. Waveguide coverSparking and arcing in a microwave can be caused by a damaged waveguide cover. Try removing the waveguide cover to see if the problem persists. Once removed, the waveguide cover can be inspected for burns, which will indicate if this is the issue. If the waveguide cover is burnt or will not stay in the proper spot it will need to be replaced.
  2. Cavity/Rack supportIf sparking or arcing in your microwave is near a rack support, any exposed metallic area can be covered with a microwave cavity support. It is also recommended to replace the rack supports in this situation to ensure the issue is resolved.
  3. Cavity paintIf sparking or arcing in the microwave is visible on the side walls, the paint covering the metallic areas could have worn off or chipped. This can possibly cause pitting in the side walls or ceiling. If this is the case, it can be repaired with microwave cavity pain

My microwave arcs every time I try to heat something. The silver colored plate on the interior right side of the cabinet appears to be burned. What happened and can it be fixed?

This arcing is caused by food splatter when something 'popped' or 'exploded' during an earlier cooking cycle. The food particle remained and every time the microwave gets used, this particle continues to cook until it turns into carbon. This can be as small as the tip of a pin. Carbon reacts very violently to RF energy (which is what causes the food to heat). You need to carefully remove the "waveguide cover". Clean it and check for a burned spot. You also need to inspect the inside of the "waveguide" once the cover is off. Clean it also. Make sure there is no grease or other foreign matter inside there and be sure not to leave anything in there (paper towel piece, etc..). If any of the paint inside the waveguide is burned, and if it can't be sanded off and touched up with catalytic paint, you need a new microwave oven. If the burned area is limited to the waveguide cover and you can't find a replacement, you can buy a sheet of mica material from a parts house and use the old cover as a template to make a new one. Also, "If you are on Gilligan's Island" and can't get any new material, you can cut the burned spot out and cover the hole on both sides of the waveguide cover with cellophane tape. Do this at your own risk but usually it works fine.......

I get an occasional spark when microwave is in use

Presuming that you have iliminated the possibility of any metal objects that are not meant to be in the machine being in there (and this includes dishes and other items with silver or gold leaf on them, which WILL spark and burn!) then take a look inside the oven its self. You will find a waveguide cover. It is usually a strange flakey silvery plastic/card like material called Mica and is usually on the same side of the microwave wall as the control panel (So if the picture on this thread is accurate, I will guess the Mica cover is on the right hand wall inside as you look at the machine from the front) . Over time, the magnatron (the thing that creates the microwave energy) will often burn a hole through the mika, or cause a dark brown or black burn mark in it. If this cover is even slightly damaged then it may well cause sparking inside the machine. These covers are designed to be removed and you can buy replacements for them from electrical stores.

Replacement of the Cover Inlet plate inside the microwave, this is part # 8184604. I have the part, I just need to know what to do to replace it. Thanks,

Hi


To locate the inlet cover, look towards the interior side of the microwave next to the microwave display. The inlet is typically located near the back of the microwave, in the middle of the wall.
Unplug your microwave from the electrical outlet and remove any food or containers.

Wipe the inlet cover, typically located on the right side of the microwave in the middle of the wall, with a damp cloth. The cover must be kept clean or it will not protect the microwave.

Dry the inlet cover with a soft towel.

Leave the microwave door open for several hours to air out the inlet cover.

Examine the inlet cover for wear and tear. If the cover has too much damage in the form of scratches or holes, it may need replacement.

Remove the inlet cover, if desired. Insert a putty knife under the plastic nail that holds the inlet cover in place. Pry out the nails and set them aside. Pull out the micro plate in front of the inlet and set it aside. Remove the inlet plate.

Install a new inlet plate. Slide the new inlet cover into its place. Replace the nails back into the side of the microwave by aligning them with the holes of the side.


Please get back to us if you have further query else please accept the suggestion.

I have a GE JES1290 series convection microwave. On the inside wall (right side), there is a 2.5" x 5" piece of heavy paper (silver in color) that covers a porthole. During operation, it was this piece of...

That's the waveguide cover whichcovers the opening where the microwaves enter the cooking cavity. What happens is food spatters (especially grease and sugar) on the cover absorb the microwaves and cause the spots to heat, so the cover gets burned. The oven will actually operate without the cover, but it's needed to protect the antenna of the magnetron tube (the microwave source). If food gets back there and burns, it's usually doomsday for the tube and time for a new oven.

The replacement is GE part number WB06X10591. It's available from these folks. I do a lot of business with them, so I can recommend them. Here's another source that has it at a lower price, but I don't know anything about the company. You can also try calling appliance parts places or repair shops and give them the number; they may already have the part in stock.

My microwave is making a loud buzzing noise and there was some charred areas inside on side wall

The loud noise is probably the magnetron makign the noise. The charred areas on the wall are from possible grease or food particles arching and burning the cavity. Alot of times there is a cover on the wall it burns. it would need to be replaced, as well as sand and paint the cavity area that is damaged with m/w grade paint.

Heating up a heat pack has caused the small

The plate MIGHT cover the waveguide that brings the microwave energy into the cooking cavity, This might be say an inch by two or three inches.

IF the plate has burned or discolored, then it may be carbonized and will continue to absorb the microwave energy and MAY cach fire.

You should service the unit and replace the part.

Running the microwave with too small a load in it can cause this and also if hot food/object touches the plate.

Emerson MW8102SS - Sparks and No Heat

The magnetron tube which makes the microwaves is behind that cover plate, and it has gone bad. It is a replaceable part, but it's not worth the cost. Part and labor would be more than a new oven. It's time to treat yourself to a new oven.
