^Not this one...plus I had to buy a trim-kit for it since it's built in to a cabinet.
That's true, if you're the kind that likes to stack the new one on top of the old one.Originally Posted by OZMDD
Can you get parts for it?? If you can I gotta imagine it would be relatively simple to fix. YMMV
These might help.

I have worked on several microwaves, but never replaced a megnetron.
On the track, I am fearless.
If you were as slow as me, you wouldn't be afraid either.

After more research, the magnetron may still be under warranty....I need to contact Whirlpool first. Thanks for the help guys!
Wear rubber sole shoes. Keep one hand in your pocket. Only touch a potentially hot wire with the back of your hand.That part that really concerns me is the high-capacity capacitor's in there.
And, most important, get POS Racing to do it. Then, YOU should be fine.

I'd like to add if you do try this yourself make sure to record it so we can post it on YouTube if something goes wrong

Wow... A true test of your TCB status.
Meh. Have them send you the part and put it in yourself.
It ain't rocket surgery. Just short the caps to ground before you fiddle with anything.
DIY a shorting probe with a screw driver, a wooden broom handle, jumper cables and some duct tape.

oh, and +1 on getting video.
I'm smelling the makings of an MME '11 pledge class initiation (or is it ignition) party.
Will there be a caravan to the initiation?
...and do I bring the cattle prod again this year?
