This is the most comprehensive video I have seen yet on KZread I was able to replace my microwave after watching this video. THANK YOU!
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.

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.

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.

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?
My similar 1 year old GE microwave would start but not heat. Will this fix it? This is a great video. Thanks.
Solid video. I changed the magnetron today and tadaw!!!! Heat. Appreciate the detailed video!!!
While not exactly the same microwave and parts. The guide was super helpful and let me remove my microwaves magnetron safetly. Thank you!
Thanks for making this video! Although I have a Kenmore Elite, this gave me the information I needed to replace the magnetron. Microwave works like a charm now. Thanks again!

I have this exact microwave and it made a loud pop the other day and won't heat uo anymore. All of the buttons are still working, and it makes a humming sound, but just doesn't warm the food. Is that a magnetron issue? Thank you
Nicely done, very informative. Followed your guidelines, micro working again! Thank you
is magnetron only reason for not heating up, o are there any other issues like transformer, diode or capacitor.
How about the Diode, I read that should be replaced too? FIxed mine was the Magnatron

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?
Wouldn’t you want to check the thermal protector too? Probably should check that before replacing the magnetron.
I have GE Model ZDP 48N6DD1SS, Serial # DD2035407 I cannot find this part in the GE System: Wire Relay Part # WB21X5362 Hot Any advice for sourcing?
Well I replaced my magnetron and my microwave is still not heating! Is there another fix? Could my new magnatron be faulty? 🤷🏻♂️ I’m not a microwave guy just a homeowner so any advise is welcome.
Does this technique apply to emerson microwave oven from 2011?
THANKS FOR VIDEO ITS HELP I REPLACE BY MY SELF EASY
Are there any parts in the magnetron that can be placed or repaired? or is it a complete part in itself? I'd like to fix my old microwave but not for $100.
Why did you remove bottom panel? Is it even necessary for this fix
Had a smell when it stopped working and sounded alittle louder humming noise. Black soot behind the magnetron but i tested it and its ok but still no heat also tested everything from fuses to diode but cant find the issue, wasted my day and the parts are more than buying a new unit from HD
why remove the bottom panel ?

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.

You should retest the functions before completely reinstalling with temporary electrical.
If the magnetron looks good and not burnt should it be replaced? If it it replaced as in this video and still does not work what could the problem still be?

I've been shocked by the capacitor from a faulty microwave once. Painful but not deadly. The pain in my arm subsided after a few hours.
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

Why can't these so-called "experts" do a video explaining how to troubleshoot and give common scenarios as to why turntable stops, and convection and blower stops and what parts control them??? We're not electricians who can understand how it all connects and functions. I've replaced the door switches already and power fuse. Do the transistors at bottom of front panel have any relation????
