The patient is an Amana Model ACO1840AC.
Symptoms: All the lights, bells, whistles, turning platter, timer are fine, but the magic thingiee inside that actually makes cold things hot, is dead.
I actually think there is a miniature Buddhist Monk that lives in there and meditates over the food when the machine is activated, thus accelerating the movement of the food molecules and heating everything. I searched Craigslist for a replacement Monk, but sadly, I couldn't find one small enough to fit inside. After some research I discovered that the Monk has to be from the Magnetron tribe, a small, and often persecuted, community of Monks.
If anyone has any information on how to revive a really small Magnetron Monk, please reply. |

^^Thanks, I also found that, but I need to diagnose what part is defective. It could be some sort of thermal fuse or diode (cheap) or the entire high voltage side of the unit (expensive, and probably not worth replacing).
I may have not been clear in my OP, I'm not sure if the magnetron is the culprit.
The bride wants an answer, and I am just trying to buy some time.
Edit: I've never seen something that looks as cool as it's name. I present to you, Magnetron.

Unless your microwave is a particularly awesome one, it'll almost certainly be cheaper to buy a completely new machine - they start cheap cheap cheap, and once you factor in the fitting/messing around/safety aspects, you may just want to upgrade/replace.
I hate to see a mostly functional machine go to heaven just because of one worn part, but it may be one of those times when it makes sense. |

@ Pastor Frank. Are you sure it hasn't slipped into Store Demo mode while the Monk was sleeping?
Has a similar problem at one time. The screen was telling me everything was working normally but we kinda rebooted it anyway and our Monk has been perfectly servicable since. |

I visited Harrods in London last year. Fiddling with the fancy fridges and microwaves I quickly found I could choose which language the display panels were in - by the time I left all the monks were speaking Lithuanian.
Hayley wasn't impressed for some reason..... |

I have to resist the impulse to reply to the first part of the sentence.
At five years old, it is old enough to be retired. I shudder to think what an uninitated person can achive in that mess of high voltage high power wiring.
That you had to ask is sufficient in itself to say you are not qualified to mess with it ... |

^^ One must also take into account the benefits of an accident involving Microwave Radiation.
There is every possibility that Pastor Frank may splice the wrong wire and be turned into a Superhero.
From this:
To this:
Maybe it's a risk worth taking. |

Several thousand volts of electrickery, with the capacity to drive more than twelve times the lethal level of current through you even when the plug is out, and invisible radiation strong enough to boil your eyeballs and make you sterile.
Leave it to the experts. Pay someone to mend it or buy a new one. |

He's ever the pessimist.
Don't think "Instantaneous death".
Think of just how good you'll be at fighting crime once you've mutated.
