A VERY good way to test your 1μF capacitor ... connect in series with a 25 Watt , 230 Volt , Tungsten filament light bulb .... connect across your 230 Volt AC mains ... the bulb should glow a dull orange ( like the heaters of a 1940's tube radio ! ) ... also this makes a good night light ( tried - n - tested ) .... DAVE™🛑
The capacitor was indeed bad and just replaced and still will not heat. I have 120v to transformer and it buzzes but quiets down after a bit. I also don’t have the plate because the customer didn’t give me it. Will no plate effect it?
Very dangerous way to test. But I guess its still a way if you don't have any other tool to test 😂
True 😂
Thank you friend, I do believe it is the capacitor and will order one today. Thank you for the video!
You are very welcome 🙏

@@davidfalconer8913 I would definitely try and make a video when I get a chance .
Thank you!

No , no plate would not cause problem. Check your HVR high voltage rectifier. Worse case magnetron .
@@hameedwafaAFG found bad fuse on the transformer. Works now. 👍
There is no fuse on the transformer 😀I m glad it’s fixed
Thanks again
You are very welcome. Sorry for the confusion laugh at the end 😅
