    ALWAYS discharge the high-voltage capacitor first if you even think your hands will come close to any HIGH VOLTAGE components.

    Jeff mentions this: Anything in the high voltage ( magnetron, capacitor, diode, wires to and from ):
    ...Use a metal ( not the shiny chrome type ) screw driver with a insulated handle to short across ( touch both at the same time ) the terminals of the high voltage capacitor to discharge it.

Everything is working no funny noises but it's not heating up the food. Please help me figure out how can I check to see what's wrong.

Thanks,

Hi,

You won't find many parts available for this unit....it's one of those ones that is like a bic lighter....when it breaks you toss it :(

How to see if the unit is creating high voltage...
