GE Wave Guide Cover was fried, needed replacement
The wave guide cover (wgc) are notoriously bad on this model. As far as I can tell even a little food that gets stuck on it combined with cooking small/insubstantial items will cause the wgc to overheat and catch on fire. Ordered a part from partselect, found it very easily on their site using a nice diagram and ordered it. The item came in two days and was a cinch to pop in and replace.

Microwave was popping and sparking flying
Removed the old wave guide cover and replaced it by slightly bending the wave guide cover and inserting 2 tabs on each side into the slots on the side of the micro/convection oven. I was ready to purchase a new appliance. Googled the model number, looked at a couple of sites and read the problems others had with this appliance and found my problem. I saved $$$ by purchasing the part and extended the life of my 11 year old appliance.

Major sparking on right side of microwave.
Used my pocket knife to remove the locking button that holds the wave guide cover in place. Took out the old wave guide cover and cleaned the area around it. Put the new wave guide cover in place and inserted the locking button. VERY easy to do. So easy a caveman could do it!!! Seriously.

Just a little bit too big.
I had kept the old cover, just measured it against the new one, outlined it with a pencil, cut it to the correct size with a pair of scissors. Works perfectly now!
