The microwave sparks or arcs

Samsung microwave with a ball of foil inside

The term "arcing" refers to sparks inside the microwave oven. These sparks are caused when microwaves react to gold paint on dishes, twist ties and other metallic materials, like aluminum foil. Usually, removing these kind of objects will fix the problem.
