• A failing magnetron commonly causes the oven to run but not heat; other signs can include weak or uneven heating.
• Can produce unusual humming, arcing or sparking inside the cavity, or a burning smell when failing.
• Works as part of the high-voltage circuit; other components affect overall function.

• Disconnect power and unplug the appliance before servicing; the high-voltage capacitor must be safely discharged.
• Handle the magnetron carefully by the mounting flange—avoid touching the ceramic antenna or terminals.
• Verify exact part number compatibility with your model before ordering; some repairs require replacing other high-voltage components.

• Helps prevent overheating-related damage
• Typical failure signs: no power/no operation, cycle won't start, shuts off mid-cycle after overheating event
• Must not be bypassed; replace if open and investigate the root cause of overheating

• Unplug appliance or disconnect power before service
• Verify the fuse is open with a multimeter; replace only after correcting any airflow/overheating issues
• Install in the same orientation and location as the original to ensure proper temperature sensing
• Handle wiring carefully; transfer connectors one at a time to avoid miswiring
