Answer Hello Anthony. Yes, it can be the magnetron 5304463439, but there are several thing that can cause this. You could have a bad transformer 5304468156, or a short in the high voltage system. Also, you may have a bad diode 5304468869 on the unit. The diode should only read one way with a meter, and the magnetron should read closed. You can test this with a multi-meter TJMA-DMT3. Here is a link on how to use a multi-meter. Hope this helps. http://forum.appliancepartspros.com/oven-repair-including-ranges-cooktops/4810-how-check-continuity-ohmmeter.html
