GE Microwave Magnetron Replacement And Component Testing

GE Microwave Magnetron Replacement And Component Testing Tube. Duration : 16.03 Mins.


This video shows how I was able to replace the magnetron on a 2007 GE microwave oven. The magnetron was under warranty, but they want an outragous amount of money to come and install it, so I did it myself. I got the replacement magnetron mailed to my house from GE parts at no charge. The video also shows some of the testing I did on other componets while I waited for the magnetron to arrive. There is a diode with a couple of connectors and some shrink tubing that I test in the video. Some appliance part vendors are charging to for this part! The most interesting part is the diode testing, which is at the beginning of the video. The rest is just taking out the bad magnetron and putting in the good one. Then finally hooking up the diode again and pluggin in the microwave for a quick test.
