The paint is peeling in my GE microwave oven. Does this render the microwave unusable?
There is a class action law suit ongoing on this issue, you may want to join it: this paint peeling issue is not merely cosmetic, it could pose health and/or safety hazards. When the paint peels off the interior of the unit, it cannot only fall onto food being heated or cooked in the microwave, it also exposes the metal underneath. The exposure of metal can result in a phenomenon known as “arcing.” Arcing occurs when exposed metal on the interior of the microwave sparks or flashes, a potential fire hazard. https://kohnswift.com/2015/10/05/ksg-inv…
Hi @betaji Ordinary enamel paint is no good to use as it gets very hot inside a microwave oven. Make sure that you remove any paint that is starting to peel and then sand back the edges between the painted and unpainted areas smooth and then paint over with a microwave cavity paint (examples only). Here’s just one video that may help with painting the oven.
