Whirlpool Microwave Repair - Not Heating - Magnatron

[@umpenn46]

This video saved me money and the environment (at least a little)! I was looking to see how to remove the microwave from above the stove and when I noticed how easy it was to replace the diode I decided to order a new diode and fix it myself. What a great instructional video! I hope that one day this video clip makes it into a movie.

[@kurtturnier2973]

8years later in 2023, this video is spot on, step by step, nothing extra , and right to the point! It took a few months only because we forgot to order a new diode at the same time we ordered the magnetron. Otherwise,would have done it in one day. Thank you again!

[@fusehenry]

Absolutely perfect video. A+! This might be the only video I’ve ever seen where I didn’t have at least one critique for it. No excess talking and everything done using best practices. Well done!

[@thomasesker448]

Christian, excellent video. With your accurate directions I replace the magnetron, capacitor, diode and fuse. Along with filters and a tray I spent $123 instead of $300 - $400 for a new microwave. From start to finish 1.5 hours including cabinet cleaning. Thank you!

[@goedelite]

Everything worked, but the mag would not turn on. I did the easy checks first: the mag-circuit (diode, capacitor, fuse, mag filament, connection to transform HV coil). There were no improper shorts or open circuits. The diode tested well. Then I checked the transformer primary for continuity or shorts. No problem. The HV secondary was 150 ohms to the case. No problem! I suspected that the door interlock that controls the mag was faulty. Now, the struggle began. They snapped-in when connected, and I could not remove them with ordinary tools (needle-nose pliers). I concluded that they were not made to be easily removed. I tried to remove the interlock switches with the leads still connected to them. They were held by plastic retainers that I could not pry out of the way. KZbin has several videos on the magnetrons and other big components. What we amateurs need is advice on how to remove those snapped-in connecting lugs. That, to me, is the hard part.

[@redangrybird7564]

Bill B. How much did you pay for the new magnetron and where did you buy it? Thanks.

[@JC-bz6cy]

Perfect instruction of DIY fixing microwave 👍👍👍

[@BassManNv]

Couple things I wish I knew: 1. Even if you have a multimeter, there is a good chance you won’t be able to diagnose which or both are wrong. Spend the ~$120 and get both the magnetron and the diode. 2. Watch the whole video. The reassembly, for instance: it is important to make sure the tabs slide in so that it is flush. I assembled the top three times before I understood why nothing was lining up. 3. Do yourself a favor and test the thing AND clean the bottom before re-installing into your cabinet.

Amazing video. Where would you suggest in order those parts. I called whirlpool and they would sell me the parts. Orginally a lady said I could buy the megatron from her department then I had to transfer to another. Then someone else told me I couldn't. So any references you have would be amazing.

[@girishshah7147]

Nice video.i have Kenmore 721-85063010 model. It’s not heating and buzzing. Lights are working, vent blowers working good, time showing perfect and turn table is also turning. Do you think magnetron is the only problem or also could be some other problem. Please let me know.

[@dipak2704]

very easy to understand step by step and very informative ..

[@ArmyRayOIF]

Some diagnostics would be nice. How to determine if they are bad.

[@nicke.3782]

How do you know it's not the capacitor or line fuse? Or for that matter... how do you know its not just the diode or just the magnetron? Why do you assume it's both??? I have this microwave (HS2 version) and it made a popping sound when I started it, and now it does not heat. It's also louder than it used to be. What makes it pop and what makes it hum now? Would those issues narrow down what parts are possibly needed. I don't want to replace the wrong ones.

[@chrisfoxwell4128]

Nice video. Will the new magnetron make a tinging noise like the metal fins are expanding and contracting?

Hi. I do have this same ovwr the range Whirlpool WMH73L20AS-0 that starts heating after first minute. I was wondering if there is a way to reset that problem or if I have to replace some parts. Within the first 60 seconds it sounds like it is working,it is turning but not heating. Everything works perfect after that minute.

[@girishshah7147]

I have Kenmore 621-85063010 over the counter model. Every things working good except not heating and buzzing sound. Do you thing by changing magnetron it will be back and do you suggest also to install a new diode as well?

[@kimchee94112]

Before replacing parts how do you know it's a bad magnetron and/or diode and not something else?

[@AndyW-e7x]

Excellent video!

[@dt1mdlara]

Very detailed and well instructed video. Ours is a Kenmore and it looks just like that Whirlpool you got. It just stopped working and I smelled something burnt electrical inside. The light turns on when you open the door, only the two dots in the clock/timer is lit up, but nothing else wants to work. What could be wrong? Thank you very much.

Do you need the same magnetron model?

[@mrstanskaggs1]

did you test the parts you replaced, or did you just know they were bad? Do you replace the diode and magnetron always in a pair or was there some criteria to warrant this set? did you not replace the capacitor or why not since the three seem to work as a unit.. I am just trying to figure out if I need to replace one of these components or if I need to do all three or just the diode and magnetron... Can you explain the thought process in deciding these for me? Thanks! Awesome video by the way!

[@dadthefixerflorida]

I replaced the magnetron and the diode and the capacitor. It’s still making the buzzing noise and not heating. What else could it be?

[@johnbeekman1396]

I have this same microwave, and it has a problem as follows: if I try to cook something that requires more than about 8-10 minutes, the magnetron seems to cut out (I can tell because the normal 60Hz hum goes away). After about a minute, the magnetron kicks in again. I suspect the magnetron is overheating on a long cooking cycle, the high limit thermostat does its thing, and after a minute the magnetron cools down enough to start up again. Can I assume that replacing the (overheating?) magnetron will fix this problem? Or is it possible the high limit thermostat, or maybe some other component, is defective? Any advice will be much appreciated!

magkano ang synchronous motor whirlpool microwave oven

[@barryburke5782]

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! Any ideas greatly appreciated! HELP! Show less Reply

So after my microwave made a very loud grinding noise. it still comes on, but all i hear is that buzzing sound.... I know the Magnetron is still working because I test that by putting in a simple chocolate treat to see if it was heating. and yes it is heating. but its very quite now. like normally you turn on a microwave, you get the buzz, then it like ramps up, or a fan or something comes on, that is not happening. And Ideas?

The diode on my magic chef microwave is bad. It has been discontinued and is unavailable. Are they fairly universal, ie can I use one from a newer but similar model?

[@theapplianceguy4566]

David Hill CALL your local appliance PARTS dealer and tell them you want the QB MICROWAVE high voltage diode. They should be able to match it up.

[@mikelovetere4719]

Where is the diagnostic part? How do you know to replace the diode?

[@jodsterjamster8678]

Good chance that it may be overheating so the fuse shuts it down. Probably needs a fan which is in the section near the magnetron to keep it cool.

[@ahsansiddique3705]

???? How u know magnetron and diode faulty ??????? u c dreams Just lost the time

[@maxandmoose]

I have Maytag microwave(same as the whirlpool) that is a year and a half old and the magnetron could possibly be toast already? Unbelievable.

[@mrme5654]

Should have removed your ring while working in that environment. You could easily shock yourself! Otherwise good teaching video.

Are you serious!! Complaining for his ring? What about his watch? I guess you weren’t paying attention when he even discharged the capacitors. Pay attention to important issues, because those will make the difference between success or disaster.

[@MrCoolJaybo1]

Did I miss the diagnosis part? lol

[@Big_Island_Boi]

Thank you for this excellent video that shows exactly why our landfills are full of fairly new, perfectly good appliances... that are so time consuming and expensive to fix that it is literally cheaper to just buy a new one @ $200 to $250 and replace it. There is actually LESS labor and time and work to replace it than to fix it. As usual, a $2 or $5 or $10 part--and shitty design and engineering--costs consumers hundreds of dollars and destroys the planet in the process. Fvck all appliance manufacturers. I still have a stove from the 1940s that works just fine... and a Kenmore washer and dryer from the 1980s that are still functioning properly... but virtually every appliance I've bought in the past 20 to 25 yrs has been replaced and thrown in the landfill. Nothing but "high tech" garbage.

[@jimmiller6704]

Pretty disappointing. Your title said "Diagnostic." You didn't diagnose it, you replaced it.

[@kgrewe1]

Also my unit also buzzes when trying to heat

[@brentgrover2515]

He never talks about how he diagnosed it. Not heating he says. Well yeah sure but tells us why you chose those parts and not a million other things that could have caused it to not heat!

[@dennisbbb]

This guy replaces the who shebang with no diagnosis of which part is the culprit.

[@jimahscs]

I didn't see any diagnostics at all. Any trained monkey can swap parts.

[@chandraadhikari9916]

Absolutely perfect video. A+! This might be the only video I’ve ever seen where I didn’t have at least one critique for it. No excess talking and everything done using best practices. Well done!
