    I am not talking about rust. I am talking about something that oozes out of the door near the hinge. It is a black power-like dust that I suspect may be insolation.

Yes, you can paint over the spots and no, it's not dangerous. I'd let the paint thoroughly dry before using the oven -- it could otherwise cause paint to buckle/ripple/etc.

The microwave oven coating is peeling and exposing rust spots. what can I do to fix this? Do I need a professional repair person?

No this is something you can repair yourself. Take sandpaper and gently rub rust spots until smooth. Then you need to get ceramic touch-up paint and repaint rust spots.

Chipping/peeling rusting paint in interior under carousel

Hi,

Scratches and bare spots are fairly common, but should be addressed as soon as they arise so the corrosion will not spread and arcing does not occur.

Unplug the power cord and remove the turntable and the support that is under the turntable. Clean the surface of the support wheels or any other part that rubs on the oven cavity.

Take some mild sanding cloth or scotchbright and clean the bare and rusted areas in the microwave. Use appliance touch up paint to re-coat the surface. You can find the touch up at most anywhere that sells appliances, it comes in a plastic bottle similar in appearance to fingernail polish, yes it does have a brush inside.

Let it dry per the instructions on the bottle or 24 hours if not specified.

Yes you can, it is a painted surface correct? If so buy some rust inhibitor spay or primer and spary the bottom and then paint. Make sure you tape off any vents on the bottom before you do anything

Rust under turntable of microwave can i paint it?

If the cavity metal of the oven is chipped or charred, it will have to be sanded smooth and clean and dried thoroughly.

Then you can apply some high-temperature appliance paint, available from places like Wal-Mart, Lowe's or Builder's Square.

Enamel under the glass turntable has flaked off

This is due to spills, accumulated moisture from steam / condensation, or both.

It can also be worse if your internal cooling fan is not running, or if the vents or filters are blocked or clogged.

Since the the cavity metal of the oven is chipped or charred, it will have to be sanded smooth and clean and then dried thoroughly.


Then you can apply some high-temperature appliance paint, available from places like Wal-Mart, Lowe's or Builder's Square.

Let it dry overnight with the microwave door open.

Once that's done, you should occasionally look for accumulated moisture on the floor of the oven and keep it dry.

The model number tag should tell you where it was made.

Paint has chipped off bottom of MW

Moisture accumulation can sometimes be caused if the cooling fan is not running properly or if the vents in the back are blocked or there is not enough free space around the sides and back of the microwave.

One thing that helps is to keep the door open a few minutes after using it and to wipe down the inside after use.
