      Mine went out this morning. Bought another one today but they were in the wrong spot for $96 so I got it at almost half price with 3yr warranty. Experienced but not a certified electrician, the capacitor has always kept me from attempting any maintenance though I've watched people discharge them. This vid made it look simple as long as we're not careless.

    Nice video saving lot of money. Thank you very much. I have ordered a new magnetron and will follow your instructions. I have also ordered new diode and a fuse in case required to be changed. Mine is working every thing ,means the lights on bottom, turn table , vents and every thing except food and water not heating. So I think after changing the magnetron my micro should be back. Only one question that after fixing a new magnetron can I test the micro on the working table without damaging the bottom lights and vent or should I mount it back over the range and then test? Pl let me know. Thank you very much for the video. By the way mine is Kenmore.

    Pretty awesome video. Its entertaining yet stays on point and is long enough to cover everything and short enough for the attention spans that have been manipulated by the algorithms. I got a microwave that is not making any noise besides the fan. Normally you'd hear the magnetron kick on and off and it's not so I'm wondering if it's the capacitor. It's an undercabinet unit so I'm trying to avoid taking it down before I have the parts. Anyone have any thoughts? It's a ge 2018 manufacturer date

    I have a 25 year old GE over the stove microwave/convection oven. It stopped heating food in the microwave function and makes the buzzing sound like in this video so it’s probably the magnetron. But since this happened, the convection function doesn’t work properly anymore either. The convection bake and broil still heats up but it doesn’t heat up enough. For instance if I set it for 350, it only heats up to about 150 and in the high broil function it only heats up to 200 degrees. Why would this be? The magnetron shouldn’t have anything to do with convection function should it?
