GE Microwave popping and crackling

I had recently found a GE microwave by the side of the road. It is in a verynice looking' condition, date Jan.2002 1 year warranty model #JES831PWF001.My second thought was this unit is to nice looking to not have a trouble.Well, I was right, when I plugged it in the first thing I noticed was thatit had to initialize its smart board, ok fine. Then a message came acrossthe digital display quoting the word "RESET"(Later I find out what this wordmeans). So, now I'm setting the clock and everything seems OK at this point.Now here is the fun part of my post. I go to punch in some numbers, you knowto run the unit and see how it works. The very first number I punch in isthe 1 pad and the thing starts up, runs automatically. I don't get to pad inany other pads, but then after a few seconds of running it starts popping,crackling and voltage-current drain through out the house. I quickly unplugthe unit. (In the inside -cooking area- of the unit is a smart chard areaabout a half inch in diameter around 2 by 4 at the top of the metal plate).

Don't sweat the small stuff. Next time just do a little homework (and yes, Google is good for that) before you drop in to Usenet and you'll find lots of folks willing to help.
