Excellent video. I see many questions on repair or replace, I say it all depends on individual situation. In my case my microwave is 19 years old and the magnetron just went bad. I also need to replace the filters so if you add up here and there with a possibility of other things going bad due to age is best to replace but if you only had it for less than 5 years I guess you could fix it. Hope I make sense of this. Good luck to all.

Great video….. it was super easy to replace the magnetron and diode in my GE microwave. I did it on my own and used a sturdy cardboard box underneath the microwave to take the weight when removing it and reinstalling the microwave.

@MOAON_AABE Год назад

Did your microwave have a weird burn smell when you try to use it and not heating ? Mine does, could that mean it is the magnetron, or diode, or both? And how will I know?

@solidredd6481 3 года назад

I remember when i was shocked by that red wire that comes out from capacitor into magnetron , it lasted for 6-8 seconds or so and i couldn’t take my hand away then it came out from my leg, still have a scar on it.That was literally nightmare. Still afraid of electricity. Please be careful out there folks. It’s not a good idea to risk your health/life for 200-300 bucks.I thought i will die in there.

Are all magnetrons standard in power, voltages, watts and ohms, etc., and can be used as replacements in any microwave oven? I'm trying to repair my microwave oven which is just about 2 years old, and the magnetron has stopped working. It's one of those that has a static (hot) plate - not the rotating kind. Can I use a magnetron from a rotating plate microwave oven to repair mine?

@MORNINGSHADEMIAMI 5 лет назад

For the most part yes. I have an HMV8051/01 and the magnetron layout was almost exactly the except for the capacitor being screwed onto the magnetron and had to be removed via an access door prior to removing the magnetron..

is magnetron only reason for not heating up, o are there any other issues like transformer, diode or capacitor.

I forgot to take a picture of the capacitor and don't know if the red wire goes on bottom with the diode or the top, does this matter???

I tried this repair today. Very easy to perform and this video makes it a lot easier. Thanks for making it! Unfortunately, it did not fix my problem. The turn table no longer worked after replacing the magnetron and it still didn't heat up. I'm guessing it is a motherboard issue. Time for a new microwave.

My GE Profile Microwave worked for about 5-7 seconds then shut off. Further exam revealed burning/sparking in HV Inverter/Transformer. Digital continuity checked OK for all door switches, primary thermostat, shut off fuse, etc. Replaced Transformer with new part. Everything worked fine except 'No Microwave Heating'. Next, replaced Magnetron and Relay Switch on the circuit board. Everything worked fine except 'No Microwave Heating'. Magnetron humming seems normal! Cleaned mica wave board inside of unit, no sparking here. Can anyone advise what the problem may be. Again, everything worked fine including settings for time, power levels, clock, etc. when started up except 'No Microwave Heating'. Last resort before dropping out to the curb for the landfill!
