[quote=rbo2;8227]There is arcing (bright flashes of light and sparks) from the coupler on the floor of the microwave.  The coupler is like a tiny turntable that revolves with the glass plate on it.  It is now charred.  Is this something I can replace myself? Will the cost of a repairman be more than the microwave is worth? It is 10 years old.  Thanks.[/quote]
