If you zoom the replaced components'picture you will see the two values boldly written on capacitor's body in ohms and capacitance.

What should have been the correct value of the hv capacitor ? Things look so easy when you dont mention the problems met in parts replacing.For purposes of safety, always state the murderous dangers of working on microwaves, mark you, everybody nowadays goes for 'net solutions'.The photos when enlarged look clearly nice, Imoudu. God willing, I hope to purchase some greatly missed books, next August, by Hum. Now, a little of man-to-man talk.You see my distant brother, whatever you buy in your house belongs to 'her', even you, without knowing may occassionally be refered to as, 'my Imoudu'.Their degree of poccessiveness is even higher upon sensing 'a threat'. Sometimes I decline to offer help within the house whenever I feel pinned down by her. I postpone the matter then look for an excuse to leave the house to find something edible to cool down the pangs of hunger. Small hotels and 'other houses' keep men of my sort going. I would have easily failed the test. Muykit, nobody is reading, you are such a gossip !

That HV capacitor certainly looked like it needed to be replaced. I suppose instead of only testing its resistance you also could have tested its capacitance and test it in a insulation resistance megger tester to see if it suddenly would short. Glad that you also found the bad working safety door micro switch and replaced the defect light bulb.

Well done! Many thanks for sharing the experience! From the first line itself, I knew who this could be from!
