Interesting job based on a carefully thought out repair procedure. I found it very creative.

Wonderful episode sir , Congratulations.

Execcllent art of work

[@zaheersiddiqui7707]

Good efforts.

[@sufianwarsi3000]

Bro. It will definately not work longer. It's just permanent joint. Magnatron filament's points always joint by welding Bcoz it will has to bear high temperature.

[@davidgenie-ci5zl]

nice solution. I will try this to fix my microwave oven

[@GurunathHari]

wow. Very ingenious and done well. Great ergonomics Thanks for sharing.

[@EdgieORepairs]

Thank you very much!

[@TheNYgolfer]

I have repaired many microwaves and have never seen a magnetron with a bad filament or bad filament socket. Honestly though, even if I did, I would not waste all that time replacing the socket on an old magnetron. Magnetrons weaken over time, so it's best to replace it. They are cheap enough. Thank you though for the video. It is very helpful to those wishing to do this repair.

Have you ever seen a microwave melting the turntable dish motor shaft and the coupling? I cant find a solution

[@ashokdobariya6567]

Thanks sir

[@sufianwarsi3000]

2nd thing you are using Multimeter wrongly over and over. Your multimeter will be damage early in this way.

[@darren990]

were did you get the plugs for the magnetron from

[@adisHI-IQ]

Is that filament universal? Can I put a filament from another magnetron?

[@Somanathan-hj7ge]

Sir, you fitted ok,but cut the screws and fit.in side screws also cut sparking may occur 😊 good.

[@mumba-wi1pv]

You could have just soldered the coil terminal.

[@Josue_S87]

Great video, just wanted to ask why you didn't solder it instead?

[@EdgieORepairs]

When the magnetron is powered up at 2000 volts, the coils inside gets very hot passed the temperature the solder can handle. So the solder will melt at a certain point.

[@rscelectrical7091]

​@@EdgieORepairs: It would have been a lot easier and safer to just use silver solder, I've never had a problem doing it that way.

[@piecetoyou8285]

@@rscelectrical7091 if silver solder melts at about 840 F would that remelt with the heat from the manetron

[@darthvaider4347]

oh, come on dude! just buy an aftermarket magnetron for $20. how much time did you spend on that repair? no need to invent a bicycle for a $20 repair.

[@BobJones-zf6ie]

40 to 75 dollars....

[@Jojo-dn3sj]

I completely disagree with you. Even if your premise is correct, i.e., $20 for a replacement magnetron (including shipping), there are many people in the world, maybe no in your neighborhood, to whom $20 is not an insignificant amount of money. This series was very well done and I'm glad I found it and wish I could send to Edgie for help with some of my repair problems.

[@leroijr407]

No. Mine was 200 dollars new. And then a used may be just as old and going bad. Easy fix. Most just have a leak in one of the filaments. Simple fix.
