has anyone else had problems with inside discoloration of walls on this convection/microwave?

We have been using ours daily for a little over a year. No discolouration seen inside.

Yes!! After about a year of use. I've tried scrubbing it clean, but it still has black discoloration. Any ideas about how to resolve this?

We had the same problem a few months back. A repairman came out and replaced both switches in the door. This did not completely fix the problem so, after much trial and error, he decided to use a rubber-band to hold the switches in a certain configuration. This helped our microwave for a while. Though he spent the majority of his day at our home, we were only charged for the house call. After reading through the reviews, it seems this is a common problem with this model. We are now looking for a replacement unit. Needless to say, GE models are not being considered.

Mine has started doing the same thing, only it worked really well for a few months. I think it's because I wiped the inner circle on the bottom, which the instructions say not to do. I did it lightly, because I want it clean, but apparently, this ruins the unit! VERY frustrating because now I have to buy a new one!

I can't imagine using stainless INSIDE of a microwave for what I'd consider obvious reasons, but I'm not absolutely certain if it's possible. I just know that this one's surface is painted with a microwave-safe appliance paint. I'm here shopping because the "ceiling" of my nuker is peeling like a mo. Here's a link (hopefully it'll work) for DIY instructions to repair microwave peeling paint. Since I'm a lazy little imp, I'm buying a new microwave.doityourself.COM/stry/how-to-repaint-the-inside-of-a-microwave

Havent had any heating issues. I have mine for almost 2 years. I would try reapplying the thermal grease & ensure the heat sink's base is completely flat. This is assuming its clean & has good air flow.

I`m sorry but I have never had that problem. I use my products nearly every day.I think they are fantastic. Are you perhaps over cooking in them, we sometimes can`t believe how quick they do work.If you have a high temp. microwave.

I have had this wall heater installed in a bathroom for 8 years controlled by a programmable wall thermostat. I get a little discoloration on the grille but nothing on the wall. I'd be very cautious about any heater that charred the wall. It is very likely a defective limit switch.

We have had the HotSmart Plate for several months and have had no issues with it. I do not put it in the dishwasher but wash it by hand soon after use. It sounds as though you may have received a defective plate if you are treating it in this manner. I would ask for a replacement for sure.

Yes, mine discolored pretty badly. It looks dark grey now instead of clear. I've bought two so far, but I don't think I'll buy a third - going to try something different.

Ours also suffered erosion of the finish after just a couple of years. I'm pretty sure it went through the dishwasher a few times, but not any more. No way to know if that was the cause. We are considering replacing it and I would not DW it again.

I too haven't had any issues. There are heat settings that you can adjust. If it doesn't heat up, you may have a defective unit.

The same thing happend to mine. It is a design flaw. I took it to a small appliance repair center with a copy of the invoice. It had to be completely rebuilt under warranty. Needless to say I would not buy anything else with the Waring name on it. Another quality manufacturer of the past has sold out their reputation to soneone building junk...

The first one, after about 4 years lost some of "it's non-stick coating" and you could see discoloration above the heating coils. Heating was not as uniform after the same period of time. But it got very heavy use.

Any continuous use of any cookware will cause some discoloration. Just means you're using it. Can't expect it to stay the newish color forever.

Some reviews of this microwave have noted this as a problem, usually right before the machine dies. You should definitely contact the manufacturer asap. Hopefully your microwave is still under warranty.
