Need to paint the inside of my 2001/240 v. Ge advanium what do you recommed

This is because the coating inside the oven or the wave guide has been damaged and microwaves are hitting bare metal and causing sparks. Take the light bulb out of it and when it is dark, put a glass of water in it and turn it on. If you can see the sparks then you know what needs to be repaired. You can buy microwave oven paint. It is special paint though, you cannot just use any paint. If you cannot see sparks then the area that is damaged is inside the unit and it should be taken in for repairs. If you don't fix it, it will blow out the magnetron and you will be looking at a new oven.

paint usually has some mrtal in it.better to ask g.e. customer service.

need to sand it real good and use appliance paint

No it is not safe! the white paint is a special type designed for microwave ovens that prevents arcing from the magnetron, because when you get down to bare metal it will cause problems. I would try and contact the GE manufacture or appliance repairman to see if he has the paint available for this kind of work.

affected area would need to be sanded and re-painted with microwave paint. repairclinic.com sells the paint

I cannot find a recall But you should contact the distributor and have it rectified

Yes you can paint it.. Begin by removing the rust with either a wire brush or a thick paste product called naval jelly. Then prime the area and finally paint it with appliance paint, abailable in a spray can at most hardware stores in the color of your appliance.

Is there a black or charcol color spray paint that can be used on the inside of the door for a GE microwave

Either one should be fine, but usually appliance paint is high-temperature paint.

The main thing is to be sure the surface is squeaky clean & dry before painting. If the surface is rough, I'd sand it smooth first.

We're happy to help and we appreciate your thoughtful rating of our answer.

You need to thoroughly clean it, then sand it smooth to removew all the loose paint.

Once it's squeaky clean and dry, you can apply high-temperature appliance paint, which is available in brush-on or spray-on form at big box stores like Wal-Mart, home improvement centers like Lowe's and appliance parts stores.
