    The product, in the report: Microwave oven

    I was heating soup in a [REDACTED] bowl in the microwave, as I have many times previously without incident. It was taking much longer than usual, as it was heating the soup, but not as hot as usual in the same amount of time on high power, so I had to keep heating it. Finally, the microwave quit in the middle of a cycle and the outside display screen showed a series of 8’s. When I opened the door, I smelled a burned smell that was not the soup, and saw smoke coming out of the top of the microwave. Then I saw a flame in the little box where the light bulb was, and heard buzzing, like an electrical live wire sound. I screamed for my husband and by the time he came, the flame had died out. The flame lasted for around 30-45 seconds. It did not appear to do any damage other than the microwave became inoperable. When my husband pulled the microwave out from its built-in cabinet in order to unplug it for safety reasons, he burned his hand when he touched the OUTSIDE of the microwave on the top. Although the microwave was 3-1/2 years old at the time of the incident, it was not used much until one year before the incident. (We built our retirement home a few years before moving into it in late June 2015. Prior to that, the microwave had only been used for a few weeks while we were on vacation in 2013 and 2014). It is not overused, as there are only 2 adults and no children living in the household. We have not had any problems with any other appliances since moving in, so it would not appear to be due to anything with our wiring.

    The product, in the report: General Electric Monogram microwave oven, 1200 watts, model number ZE2160SF03, 2.1 cubic foot capacity

    I have a GE Monogram microwave oven, model number ZE2160SF03. Recently it started tripping the circuit breaker in my home every time the microwave door was opened. We reset the breaker and attempted to use the microwave again but it didn’t work. Then we unplugged the microwave, reset the circuit breaker, and with the microwave’s door open we re-plugged in the oven. When the plug made contact with the outlet, it emitted a bright blue flame and flash, and burnt outlet and plug.

    I’m very concerned about the safety of the this microwave, and if anybody else has reported dangerous conditions with this model
