[C320-list] Fwd: Re: microwave

[Robert Seastream]

I left the microwave oven repair field in 1996, but believe either  
your magnetron (which emits the 'cooking' microwaves), the high  
voltage diode, or transformer (parts of the power supply to the  
magnetron) went bad.  Replacement of either or all can fix the problem  
if keeping the existing mw due to size is an issue, but could exceed  
the cost of replacement of the entire unit.
