Daniel M Bainbridge Island , WA December 06, 2015 Appliance: Model MAYTAG (WHRILPOOL) UMC5200BAB Dead microwave Replaced magnetron and diode. Followed video directions. Magnetron cheaper by its own model number rather than the one listed for my microwave (same part). Still purchased at Appliance Parts, but saved some cash. Disassemble first before ordering.

Kerwyn H Brooklyn , NY October 17, 2014 Appliance: Model MW5490W My microwave was no longer heating food although all the controls worked I ordered a magnetron from AppliancePartsPro.com. It was an easy fix. A total of 9 screws (5 on the cover, 4 on the old magnetron) were all that stood between me and completion. Since the part had a 2-day estimated delivery, I unplugged the microwave as soon as I placed the order so I didn't have to worry about any stored charges (although I did ground the contacts to be sure). Now the micro is up and running. Thanks for an easy, cost-effective solution! Read More... Do-It-Yourself Rating: Repair Time Estimate: Less than 15 minutes Tools: Screwdrivers
