Default Microwave buzzes
Model Number: JVM1650BB005   Brand: GE   Age: 5 - 10 years   
Our GE microwave buzzes after a few seconds and I can see arcing in the upper right behind the front grille. This doesn't happen every time, only occasionally.
Would appreciate any help.

Most likely the problem is a bad magnetron and if it was arcing to the waveguide, the waveguide is damaged and can not be fixed.

Here are the break down diagrams for the GE microwave Model JVM1650BB005

Gene is correct...Your waveguide is burnt and cannot be repaired. If you can see the arcing up there it's burnt. Please do not continue using the microwave.
