Hey Frikkie,

Thanks for your comment. I honestly didn't think about the fan (although this one was working well). I guess it makes sense that the magnetron needs to dissipate the heat produced.

I have learned a lot from both the research that I did during the repair and also all the comments that have been provided on Jestine's site.

Thanks again
Mark

I used to work for a guy repairing electronic equipment including microwaves. Just something I also want to mention.The magnetrons become very hot as well.So one must keep in mind to check that the cooling fan sucks out the warm air and blows it out at the rear of the microwave.If the fan doesn't work,the magnetron will overheat causing the magnets to crack also.The magnets helps to focus the radiation beam.

In reply to Waleed Rishmawi.

Hey Waleed,

You are correct in saying to check for continuity in the filter and filament of the magnetron, however in my case, the resistance tests were correct and it was due to damaged magnets that resulted in the magnetron failure. You can see this in one of the red circles shown on the photo above.

Thanks for your comments.
