We had this microwave for a long time after acquiring it at a charity silent auction years ago. LOVE IT. Now it is dead
. Everything seems to work normally except for the loud noise and no heat. Reading other posts, the different sound and the non-heating means the magnetron needs to be replaced. Now...I would test the related parts (transformer, capacitor, etc.) to be sure.
However, I can't even come close to finding core parts for this microwave including the magnetron. This site and the AppliancePartsPros site does not have Breville as manufacturer! I am wondering if another brand's magnetron will work in this machine. I know Breville is an Australian but the parts are made in China.
The consensus of advise out there suggests I should not even try to repair it and just buy a new one. Anyone who has read my past posts and those who have helped me here (including Jake!) knows that this is not the way I like to operate. We are all here to take the risk and make an otherwise perfectly working assemblage of electronics and metal out of the landfill.
