A:AnswerHi Klb- If the coating is actively flaking or paint is peeling anywhere inside the oven cavity we recommend to 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. See the following link- MICROWAVE - CAVITY REPAIR NEEDED DUE TO ARCING, CHIPPING, PEELING OR SCORCHING: http://products.geappliances.com/appliance/gea-support-search-content?contentId=16197 - Thanks for choosing GE. Keep in touch! SUE@GEA
A:AnswerHi SDW- While we strongly recommend not using an extension cord, the interior light may flicker when the oven is in use if installed with an extension cord. Cooking times may also be longer. The microwave should be plugged into its own properly grounded, dedicated electrical outlet to prevent the flickering of the lights, blowing of a fuse or tripping of a circuit breaker. See the following link- http://products.geappliances.com/appliance/gea-support-search-content?contentId=18836 - A qualified service technician is required for an accurate diagnosis. For safety reasons, we offer no do-it-yourself repair advice on microwave ovens due to high voltage (capacitor hold a high voltage charge even after it has been unplugged). If interested you can contact GE Appliance Service at 1-800-432-2737 for assistance or conveniently schedule an appointment online: http://www.geappliances.com/service_and_support/service/ - Due to age, you may want to considering a replacement.

A:AnswerHi Spacemaker- Microwaves need adequate air clearance on each side, the rear and the top to function properly. This allows good circulation for the intake and discharge air vents. When installed on counter, we recommend 3" of clearance on both sides and the top and 1" clearance in the rear.
