“when I turn on my new microwave there is a loud ticking sound. The sound goes away after a few seconds, but when you turn it off the ticking sound returns. It sounds like when kids put baseball cards between the spokes of a bike tire. Is this normal?”

No! It should not make that type of noise. Mine does not. You should get a humming sound not a clicking sound. My guess is there is something wrong with the motor or packing somewhere that needs to be removed. It's probably a defective machine.

A fan where the internal components are located will run continuously while the microwave is in operation to constantly circulate the air to cool the working parts. It is normal for the internal fan for the electronics to continue to run for a few seconds after the microwave cycle is complete, even if the door is opened. This fan does not circulate air in the cavity. Keep in touch at GEAppliances.com or call us 1-800-626-2005. Thanks for choosing GE! SUE@GEA
