## Discrepancy

THE OPERATOR OF AIRCRAFT GVII-G600 A/C 73034 A/C REG N982RW REPORTED A BURNT MICROWAVE SPINNER AND PLATE AND REQUESTED THAT AN OPS TEST. UPON INITIAL INSPECTION OF THE MICROWAVE TURNTABLE PLATE AND SUPPORT TRIPOD, BLACK MARKINGS AND MELTING/BURNING SIGNS AND SMELLS WERE APPARENT. THE OPS TEST REQUIRED THE HEATING OF A CUP OF WATER. WITHIN SECONDS OF OPERATION, THE MICROWAVE STARTED SPARKING AND THE TURNTABLE TRIPOD SUPPORT STARTED TO BURN.
