Hi Milo- We are sorry to hear of this issue with the paint in your microwave. Minor chips to the coating on the microwave's interior cavity will not affect the product's performance. If the coating is actively flaking or paint is peeling anywhere inside the oven cavity (including under the turntable) discontinue the use of the microwave and replace it. The microwave is not repairable. The cavity coating in GE Appliances microwave ovens is selected to be safely used as a food-contact surface and meets GE Appliances' and applicable government requirements for such use. No lead or other toxic materials are added to the cavity coating material used in GE Appliances microwave ovens. The inadvertent ingestion of small amounts of peeling coating does not create a health risk. We suggest our GE® 2.0 Cu. Ft. Capacity Countertop Microwave Oven JES2051SNSS and GE® 1.6 Cu. Ft. Countertop Microwave Oven JES1656SRSS. We certainly appreciate your loyalty. Keep in touch! SUEatGEA
