9 Out of 10 Times when there is no heat and everything else works fine it is the Magnetron. The other 1 from the 9/10 is the HV (High Voltage) Diode that connects to the HV Capacitor.This is the cheaper fix of the two with them being usually under $12. The Magnetron is rather high ranging from approx. $50 and up.If you look on Ebay you generally can find many replacement parts that are in good working order and save some bucks.There are Magnetrons going for $18-25 on average and Diodes for $3-12.If you have a rather loud HUM coming from your micro-it is then generally the Magnetron.IF anyone does get inside their micro PLEASE MAKE SURE TO GROUND OUT&DISCHARGE YOUR CAPACITOR Before doing Anything! You can find the info to do it by searching on the web. There is very much high voltage inside these EVEN AFTER you unplug it and can hurt or kill you.With that said,I hope this helps many of you.
