No. Hasn’t happened to me at all.
Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.Hello LJMe, Thank you for reaching out to us at GE Appliances. This is a great question and we are happy to help with this. Cooking foods in a microwave oven for an extended period of time can cause heat transfer to not only the internal oven walls and floor, but to the external cabinet, as well. In addition to the heat that is generated outward from the food being cooked, the oven interior lamp and the magnetron tube will also contribute to external heat transfer. This condition is considered normal. The exterior case may have symbol (triangle with waves) stamped in the metal. This symbol means "Caution, hot surface". This is normal but, please be cautious. We hope this information is helpful, feel free to reach out again with any other questions you may have. Have a great day!-Avery@GEA
