To heat a cup of coffee, user entered "10:00" instead of "1:00". Mess! After cleanup, microwave ran, but would not heat. While running, it made 2 or 3 time the noise volume as before.
I went for the cheap things first. Ohmmeter showed one of the thermostats in the magnetron compartment was open. I ordered and replaced all three thermostats. Still no heat. I took the unit off the wall (aaarrgh!) and checked the oven cavity thermal cutout. It said 7 ohms. I tested by shorting the wires together, but still no heat. So, I ordered the magnetron and diode cable. When replacing the diode cable (be sure to discharge the big cap!) either I broke it, or it was already damaged. It came off in two pieces. The new diode cable was re-enforced with thick heat shrink tubing, to prevent such breaking. You need a very short screwdriver to replace the magnetron. Now, all fixed! ~$150. A new one lists for $2000, installed in the overhead. My wife thinks I am a genius.

The ventilating fan motor had a dead spot resulting in random failures upon start.
The hardest part was removing/reinstalling the microwave from under the kitchen cabinets, but once that was accomplished the repair went very easy. The motor/fan assy was easily accessed once the microwave outer cabinet was removed and the part was even better than the original, with a stop on the motor shaft to insure proper reinstalling of the fan blade.

had a crack in the left side and since i am selling the house, I needed it to look pristine.
I took off a couple of screws, slipped off the damaged part and then very easiy snapped the new part on. Everything fit! I am not a mechanic, so I really appreciate it when the job goes smoothly.

Microwave would not heat
I went on line, put in microwave repair and watched a video on repair. I then took the oven down from over the range and took it apart. I could see were the magnetron had burned out. There was a hole with obvious burn marks. I went on line looking for the needed part. I clicked on PartSelect and order the magnetron. I received the part within three days, regular shipping. As I had not put the oven back together it took only a few moments to save 150 to 200+ dollars. I put it back together and happy, happy me, it worked.
