The product, in the report: Microwave
GE Microwave Model #JES1290SK0. Put a bag of microwave popcorn into microwave. After about 15 seconds, part of the microwave over arched and caught on fire. I turned off the unit and unplugged it. After further investigation, I found the cover over the magtron was arching and catching on fire. I removed the cover and tried the unit and determined the cover was defective and could catch on fire.
