I wished you put back old capacitor an observe, in your case the assumption would be, you dont have capacitor tester just to share Im using DT-6013 tester that works perfectly for me to test polar and nonpolar caps.

You lost all hope upon changing critical components but surprisingly, in your defeated moment you found the microwave working. Maybe it was the hv cap you replaced that was a culprit. Anyway, thanks for the article and the honesty. The yam must be ready and hot.

Microwave oven can be used to defrost and then warm already pre-steamed cake bean preserved in freezer. This is done faster and energy saving then conventional cooking gas cooker or hot plate.Infact I use microwave oven to cook yam.Mic is a versatile cooking device

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

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 !

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.
