Hello, the mw oven all of a sudden stopped heating the contents even if all other functions still work. Do you think it could be the magnetron and/or the diode?Thanks.

Hi Richard,
Thank you for your question. If your microwave has stopped heating, the magnetron and the diode are the 2 parts that fix the issue the majority of the time. You will need to check the parts to see which one is causing the issue. For safety reasons, since the microwave capacitor can still store electricity even when the microwave is unplugged, it is usually advised that you discharge the capacitor before testing any part or doing a repair. We have included a link with information on how to do so. https://www.partselect.com/Microwave+discharge-capacitor+repair.htm We hope this helps! Good luck with the repair!
First, I read the PartsSelect DIY report by Linda, Warsaw, IN. With confidence, I purchased the magnetron. Upon receipt, I took the built-in microwave out of the cabinet, set the unit on the kitchen floor, and was stopped cold by the Safety Torx nuts on the reverse of the unit. Borrowing the right wrench allowed the 20 minute start-to-finish part changeout and reinstallation of the unit in the cabinet to proceed. The old magnetron was the defective part. Discovery of the 10-year Parts-Only warranty on the less than 10-year old unit was insufficinet to guide me to take the unit in for their Labor bill to repair. New part in hand, it just was that easy - and assumed to be no less expensive.
1. Unplug the microwave, or cut power at the fuse box. 2. Clean the microwave in case there is any food splatters or residue. 3. Using a flathead screwdriver, pop off the plastic rivets that hold the waveguide cover in place. They should not take much to pop out. 4. Replace the damaged waveguide cover with the replacement, reinsert plastic rivets. 5. Restore power to the microwave and test.
