Everything works on my microwave expect it does not heat anymore. Just stopped working one day. Turn table turns, lights come on, controls are fine. Just wont heat food no matter how long it runs for.
I have tested the capacitor, diode, switches and temp sensors. All good. I have 120 volts AC going to transformer when running. I have it narrowed to transformer or magnetron.
The transformer when testing the HV side to ground gives 141 to 142 ohms. My research suggests it should be between 80 to 120. Does that mean my transformer is bad?
Tests on the magnetron seem good. There is some slight discolouration on the fins of the magnetron and there is a little noise from inside like a tinny sound if I shake it.
Please advise.
Thanks,
Robin
