This microwave oven was brought to my shop by

a restaurant owner who lives nearby and told me
that it does not heat up the food. Usually when a
microwave oven does not heat up, it is a
problem either in the magnetron head or that
magnetron is not getting any power to make it
work. To find out what is causing this no heat
problem I had to open the cover and check it out.

Before I took the cover off, I wanted to try the microwave oven and see if it heat up or not. I always
test the machine no matter what the customers say; that is my philosophy. I put a cup of water in
there and powered up the machine, and as the customer said, it did not heat up the water.

I took the cover off. The first thing I did was to discharge the main capacitor in the machine. It is
very important that you do that before attempting any repair in microwave ovens. I disconnected the
Magnetron head main power connections and powered up the machine, and checked the voltages
reaching the main transformer and I had a 220 volts reading there indicating a good working power
supply.

The next step is to check the magnetron head connectors. The two connectors should have a 0.3
ohm reading on them because they are connected inside the magnetron head. When I did the ohm
testing between the connectors and the body of the magnetron head, it should not give me any
reading. If there are readings, then the magnetron head is defective and need to be replaced. In my
case, it was defective and I replaced it right away.

Before I powered up the machine, I had to clean the inside of the oven otherwise, I will see some
electrical sparks inside the microwave oven cooking area. The dry food in there will work as a
conductor to electricity causing these nasty sparks. That is why you cannot heat up food in metal
containers when using the microwave oven. I did the cleaning and powered up the machine and the
coffee that I put in there was heated up nicely. Now I am enjoying a nice cup of coffee while wait for
the customers to come and pick it up.

I can see wear and tear on this, always a good idea to check for excessive microwave
emissions before giving back to customer.

IS THE MAGNETRON SUPPOSED TO HAVE A READING OR NOT? 0.3 OHMS IS A
READING!!! WHAT IS AN UNDESIRED READING??
