Samsung Microwave ME17F7021MT/AA Parts

I did my research and based on what I discovered via chat rooms, etc... I was pretty sure the problem was the Magnetron. Of course Samsung wouldn't stand behind it! The part was under a 10 year warranty but I had to pay their technician to come and diagnose then come back to repair. So I chatted with a rep from Appliance Pros and she confirmed that the symptoms sounded like I needed to replace the Magnetron. I ordered it, It arrived two days earlier than the estimated delivery date! It took me... Read more

We worked fine with the remaining bulb for a year or so, but it finally burned out. Unfortunately all of the replacement bulbs would only last 1-2 days before burning out again in the one socket. When I'd originally destroyed... Read more

Main Fuse did not open, only fuse for high voltage section was opened. Prior to the fuse blowing a louder than normal hum was heard from microwave for 1-2 seconds prior. Easy fix is the high voltage capacitor, so first checked the voltage across the capacitor terminals to ensure capacitor was discharged. Typically should be reasonably discharged within 30sec-1min assuming drain resistor is still in place. Removed the high voltage cap, and checked the capacitance and did not get a reading....
