Amanda C Danbury , TX January 25, 2015 My microwave was not heating food but we had power and the turntable was still moving I looked up the problem on the Appliance Pros forum and it sounded like the magnetron needed to be replaced. We looked up and ordered the part from Appliance Pros and replaced the magnetron 2 days later when we received it. It was not a difficult replacement but was tume consuming to take it down and remove the cover to get to the part. Within about 90 minutes, we had our microwave back on duty!

It is easier with two people getting the microwave removed and put back up.
