“Our 2 year old GE microwave PEB7226SF1SS suddenly started arcing. I replaced the wave guide, but the arcing continues between the wave guide and the magnetron. Please suggest another microwave of same specs so that I can use the existing trims.”

Hi rc01- We are sorry to hear of the arcing in your microwave and glad to offer assistance. Arcing may occur for several reasons. Gold or Metal cooking utensils can cause arcing between the metal and the microwave case. Gold or metal trimmed cooking utensils can cause arcing as well. It has been found that some vegetables such as green beans and carrots may cause an arcing effect/sparking (on the food product itself) when cooked in the microwave. Possible reasons why this arcing occurs: The vegetables are not covered. The types of seasoning (i.e.: bacon grease, onions, etc). Little (if any) water surrounding the vegetables. Also, Model PEB7226SFSS is available for purchase to use with you existing trim: https://www.bestbuy.com/site/ge-profile-series-2-2-cu-ft-full-size-microwave-stainless-steel/2877099.p?skuId=2877099 - We certainly appreciate your loyalty!
