[@YTubeScandalScrambledMyHandle]

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.

[@_Wanh_]

My hood range microwave just started making that humming noise. The lights work. I believe the appliance is old maybe like 7-8 years old, wonder if I should just replace the whole thing or do what you did in this video?

[@LexVance]

We replace the whole thing now days. Parts cost almost as much as a new one.

[@girishshah7147]

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.

[@LexVance]

Yes, I test on my work bench and it doesn't harm anything. Thank you so much for watching!

[@mrcoollu9662]

Hey buddy how’s it going question how would someone know if the magnatron need to change. I am sure there’s other parts Transformer Defective thermal fuse Door switches Main control board Diode burnout How to check these Do you need a multimeter to check ? Or do the microwave

[@LexVance]

Yes a multi meter. Now days the parts are almost as much a new microwave so we just replace the whole thing.

[@IJustWatchYouTubeAllDay]

Yes it's semi dangerous and you have to be careful but sheesh I saw a video where he kept saying you could die if you did it and was just freaking everybody out. Because of your video I spent $35 and fixed our microwave. So for that, I thank you.

[@LexVance]

Thank you so much for watching!

[@lolajoker]

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?

[@LexVance]

Yeah, due to parts being almost as expensive as a new microwave now days, we just replace the whole microwave with a new one.

[@lolajoker]

@@LexVance Yeah I’m just going to get a new one but until I do I thought I could still use the convection part but now that won’t heat up enough to use and I’m puzzled as to why that is? It does heat up but not high enough to do any convection cooking.

[@rubenmangus407]

I just wanna be sure before I buy the part myself. Mines not heating as of this morning. Still turns and comes on. I’m assuming that’s the same issue?

[@LexVance]

Could be. We just replace the whole microwave now because the parts are almost as much as a new microwave.

[@daydreamer77w46]

Any idea why a magnetron on a brand new microwave would fail? I don’t know if that’s the exact problem - I just know it’s not heating.

[@LexVance]

[@Pseudify]

@@LexVance. I guess there’s several other explanations for why it’s not heating besides the magnetron. Maybe a capacitor, diode, door switch, etc? It’s still under warranty but the manufacturer prefers to do a buyback rebate rather than a service repair.

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

@@LexVance I ran that part back about 4 times to make sure I heard "she was trying to do a glazed ham" - I was cryin' at every ham reference after that

Is there any capacity of Megatron's

[@LexVance]

There is a capacitor in the microwave. It's not hooked to the magnetron though. Thank you so much for watching Sujit!

@@LexVance sir i actually mean that Megnatron has any specification? Should same. Megnatron is used for all type & size of Microwave oven

Thanks a bunch for the info but I guess it's not really cost worthy for me to fix my cheap Walmart countertop microwave. The part is almost as much as a new microwave.

[@LexVance]

Yep. We replace them now days as well. Thank you so much for watching Lasonia!

[@genehughes8169]

How do I know if it's the megatron?

[@LexVance]

The only way I can tell is if everything turns on fine but it just doesn't heat the food. Thank you so much for watching Gene!

[@capitolrefrigerationheatin7501]

nice post, why cant u touch the capacitor skid?

[@LexVance]

Capitol Refrigeration,Heating,and Cooling You can. Just have to de-energize it like caps on an HVAC unit. But I don't touch the cap when I do magnatrons. Weirdo trolls love to mention the cap for some weird reason and act like I'm doing something dangerously wrong. 😂😂😂 Thank you so much for watching Captitol Refrigeration! www.DirtyMaintenanceNation.com

[@tonyc.7452]

Lex, does each microwave brand use their own Magnatron or is this a universal part across all brands? You are doing an excellent job, keep on doing what you do.

[@LexVance]

tony c. Each microwave uses its own style. Some are $80 and some are $60. Depending on brand. Thank you so much for watching Tony! www.DirtyMaintenanceNation.com

What is it if there is burnt smell and is not heating?

[@LexVance]

Could be a bad transformer. I'd need to be there for this head scratcher and see what's going on with my volt meter. The new parts now days are almost as much as a new microwave. So, we just replace now. Thank you so much for watching!

my microwav doesnt make that buzzing sound, but it doesnt heat up food. will this help me? or should i throw out? subbed n liked for reply

[@LexVance]

The price of a magnetron isn't that much cheaper than a whole new microwave I've discovered. Just get you a new one. Thank you so much for watching Rob!

[@vincentvincent2658]

how much was the microwave if its like 100 dollars or 50 i would of just saved the money by buying a new microwave. magnetrons are like 50 to 400

[@LexVance]

Thank you so much for watching Vincent!

[@hanspunko6980]

Thnx Lex, couple of questions, if you check and the Magnitron still looks good is it the thermal fuse ????

[@LexVance]

Hmmm, it's hard to say by not being there. It could be lots of things. The door switch can cause it not to spin & heat as well. I'd need to be there with a volt meter. Thank you so much for watching Hans! www.DirtyMaintenanceNation.com
