The product, in the report: GE Built-in Microwave Oven (Model # JVM6175DF1WW)
While in the bedroom sleeping (approximately 7am on 9/25/25), the fire alarm in our house went off. My wife who was in her office working awoke me and told me that the kitchen and surrounding rooms were full of dense smoke, which was emanating from our built-in GE Microwave Oven. I immediately ran into the kitchen, pulled the plug out of the surge protector, opened all of the doors and windows and turned the ceiling fans on to clear the acrid smoke from the house. I then checked the electrical box in the garage and noticed that the circuit breaker had been tripped. Although the Microwave was off when this occurred, it somehow activated itself (there have been numerous other similar complaints filed with the CPSC). Further, I believe there is a thermal cutoff/safety feature that is supposed to shut down the system to prevent overheating, which failed to work. There is a burn mark inside the oven so it appears there must have been flames, which were probably extinguished due to the lack of oxygen and smoke inside the closed oven. I contacted GE Customer Support the day of the accident, who made arrangements for [REDACTED], a local GE service firm, to investigate the problem. When the tech arrived approximately at 4p on 10/02/25 he opened/removed a couple of front panels, a partially melted piece of a plastic brace fell out of the oven; however, he didnt know how to proceed. He informed me that he attempted to contact a more experienced tech, but the person was not available. He then tried to reach his supervisor, who was tied up in a meeting for the next couple of hours and beyond the techs worktime schedule. Accordingly, he left, no diagnostics were performed, and nothing was accomplished. The next day I called the tech, who informed me that my situation had been elevated. Since then, I have made multiple unsuccessful attempts to contact the GE Case Manager ([REDACTED]). Is GE ignoring the situation, assuming I will drop the case? I consider this to be a serious problem as the house could have caught on fire or worse. The nasty burnt plastic smell still permeates the house whenever the oven door is opened. This problem appears to have persisted for several years. Will this require someones house to be destroyed or deaths to occur before this situation is addressed?
