      We'd like to address any issue you're having with sound. We have information regarding sounds you may hear from the microwave in articles on our GE Appliances website, titled "Microwave - Normal Operational Characteristics" and "Microwave - Arcing or Making Sounds"; those can be viewed when you look up the titles and click the Support tab. Among other expected sounds, you may hear thumping, humming, etc. If you're concerned the sound you're hearing isn't normal, we recommend getting in touch with our warranty team using the information on page 15 of the manual. The manual can be viewed on the Best Buy product page when you click the Features section and scroll to the bottom. GE_Appliances

    For a company that used to take pride in its engineering quality, this was a huge disappointment. Microwave is loud, emitting a variety of noises while turned on. Control panel display is not illuminated except for the current time setting. (Wow, what does that have to do with critical functions!!) Documentation included is so minimal it’s practically no use. Full documentation is available online. Good luck!

    The power is a tad under rated. It takes a bit longer to defrost hamburger meat than my last one. Also you have to input the weight units in oz and not pounds.
