Microwave NOT Heating (and Loud Buzzing)? Magnetron Replacement🤖

[@rednecklite]

Great video, I once replaced a door switch on my microwave. These over range units are so expensive it's good to know you can open them up to replace things if you have the determination.

[@TheArtOfHomeownership]

Finding that determination is the hardest part! Thanks for watching!

I can’t believe there’s a magnetron AND a transformer in my microwave😮 I’m going to have to play the movie as I undertake this repair! Now I’m stoked! 😊

[@thehulkamaniabrother2.089]

How else would they be able to get 2000 volts from 110 without a transformer lol?😂

[@kmbinkaty]

I touched a flux capacitor once… now I get AM/FM

[@TheArtOfHomeownership]

Are you telling me you built a time machine.. out of a DeLorean??

[@ruthdudley5659]

Great job and very clear explanation! Thanks

[@TheArtOfHomeownership]

Glad you enjoyed it!

[@ransomadams2397]

Well executed instructional video!

[@TheArtOfHomeownership]

Glad you found it helpful!

The hassle and weight involved with repairs or replacing OTR MWs is the reason we went with countertop models.

[@markhamtpon4548]

Got the same microwave and it was the magnetron also. Replaced it and all is good. Now that's down I am going to vent it outside since I have been avoiding it.

[@georgegrader9038]

I am going to do the same. Did you test the magnatron?

[@georgegrader9038]

I have this same model out & taken apart. The magnatron seemed to be the cause of fire & buzzing, but continuity testing did not show the same ground fault. How should i proceed? Still likely magnatron right?

[@georgegrader9038]

Start by questioning the burned silver, mica waveguide paper....

[@thehulkamaniabrother2.089]

My microwave is doing this. MAGNETRON PRIME TRANSFORMER

[@Proverbs3198]

Could you please tell me what could have happened to my microwave? Yesterday I put the food in the microwave to heat it up and I heard a big explosion inside. The clock and everything else works (there's a light) but the food stayed cold, it didn't heat up and since then it's been very loud when I turn it back on. This is above my stove, not a tabletop microwave.

Handy Dandy!

[@TheArtOfHomeownership]

Dandy Handy!

[@Barbwire35]

Well done! I think I’ll just hire y’all if I have this problem!

[@TheArtOfHomeownership]

I think we'll get in the business!

[@georgegrader9038]

Great video, but check/clean/replace the mica waveguide first. I jumped to MAGNATRON conclusions & unnecessary dis & reassembly.

[@JohnRoland]

Excellent

[@TheArtOfHomeownership]

Thanks for watching!

[@hossman19]

Nice, yet dicey work. I would've quit after removing screw #157... #HelloHomeDepot

[@TheArtOfHomeownership]

Lots of screwing in this video!

[@mbihm2084]

Darwin would be proud!

[@TheArtOfHomeownership]

Darwin is my middle name😉

[@maryabshier5459]

All that screwing around!?! I would've just bought a new one.

[@TheArtOfHomeownership]

Unfortunately this microwave wasn't the cheapest so we opted to fix it.

[@ronronnie3093]

I have the same model they are $775 now. Mine stopped working today it’s more a buzzing I think it’s the diode.

[@georgegrader9038]

Mine stopped at 5 years old. Buzzing and making fire. What is the name of that metal cardboard in the ceiling of the chamber that is catching on Fire?

[@42luke93]

Just put that freaking thing in the garbage. Worried about disposing the part??
