Re: Microwave problem.....again

Before you start any of this please discharge the capacitor .
Yes make sure you put the diode in the right way .
Try unplugging the magnatron wires and run the oven . If it sounds
normal its probably a bad mag .

Those inverter microwaves are a bit touch & go for lasting .. The first
ones out were a disaster . The later ones are better . If you buy a
``mount in`` one make sure you want to be taking it out if it breaks .
I have seen bad magnatrons in more newer microwaves than ever before .
some of them are still brand new only used a few times not enough to
even get it dirty . I have also been seeing samsung branded magnatrons
in a few other popular brand ovens .. so much for quality
