Easy repair. Just a few short steps and back in business
After the part arrived, it was just a matter of installing it. It was very easy and whole lot cheaper than buying a new microwave

runs but does not heat
I removed the main cover ( torx security bit required) and tested the magnetron, capacitor, diode and door interlock switches according to instructions found on the internet. The capacitor and diode tested good but the magnetron looked burnt and corroded on the tip. The magnetron I received was an exact replacement for the original. It wa

No heat.
Microwave with no heat. Removed casing and checked low voltage side from the fuse through all the microswitches to the primary side of the transformer, all good. Checked HV diode good. Checked secondary side of transformer, good. Checked capacitor, good. Even though the Magnatron electrically checked out good, it had a cracked magnet. Rep

Sparking from the magnetron
Symptom: Terrible sparking coming from the right side of the microwave even with nothing in the microwave. The part that was behind the cover was the business end of what I learned was the magnetron,
Repair process: Without appliance repair experience I went onto Google and searched for parts for my model PEB1590DM2WW. I
... Read morewas able to find a great parts schematic on partselect.com. At first I ordered a magnetron and while waiting for the parts to arrive I also learned that the capacitor can also fail easily as described in the other install feedback on the partsselect website. So I ordered a capacitor just in case. These convection microwaves are around $600 new so a $80 in parts is not out of line for 8 years of service. I installed the magnetron first and turned it on. sparking immediately continued so I quickly shut the unit off. After replacing the capacitor and letting it charge for several minutes before trying to start the microwave cycle was the issue. I choose to leave the replaced magnetron as the original unit was discolored and felt the replacement was inexpensive insurance. I also learned that if the wave guide (which is a plastic/metallic composite material) that covers the opening to the magnetron is burnt or has metal melted to it as mine did it will act similar to the microwave having metal inside the enclosure and will continue to spark and basically melt the wave guide further. Replacing the wave guide was very easy as well.
I am very thankful for the knowledge base and support available from Partselect.com as they made this repair possible on my own. Thank you partselect.com

Microwave function not working
1) Removed 4 screws securing the microwave to the cabinet.2) Slid microwave out, unplugged and placed on a work surface that allowed lower trim to hang over. 3a) Removed two screws and removed the cover on top of the oven. 3b) Unplugged high voltage plug from Magnatron. 4) Removed wires from overtemp fuse mounted to Magnatron. 5) Removed
... Read more the four screws securing the Magnatron to the oven. 6) Removed Manatron. It's a tight fit, but can be done without removing anything else. 7) Replaced Magnatron. This is where I needed the magnetic part retrieval tool. The nature of a Magnatron is the use of strong magnets surrounding the tube. Getting the four screws back into place wasn't possible with just a normal magnetic screwdriver tip. I used the retrieval tool to position the screws back in place. Be sure to not initially tighten any screw completely, until they can be evenly tightened. This ensures correct compression/seating of the shielding material near the neck of the tube. 8) Reverse removal steps. Plugged in and tested microwave function on a cup of tap water. 9) Reinstated in cabinet and got a big thank you kiss from the wife!

No power to microwave, no heating.
Unpluged power cord!! Removed front control panel to expose electronics (need to remove top horizontal vent cover to expose mounting hardware). Unplugged leads to control panel board. Removed magnetron with Tstat (3- phillip heads, need stubby). Installed new parts and control panel, plugged it in tested. Done.

I am replacing the magnetron in this unit. When I put it in it wabbles just a little bit. Should it be a firm fit or will the screws pull it down tight?
For model number PWB7030SL1SS
Hi Greg, thank you for the question. Magnetron should fit snugly into its designated space. If the magnetron wobbles slightly when you initially place it, the screws should help secure it firmly in place. However, it is important to ensure that the magnetron is properly aligned and seated before tightening the screws. If there is excessive wobbling or if it does not seem to fit correctly, double-check the installation and ensure that there are no obstructions or misalignments. We hope this information helps!

Do I need to de-energize the capacitor or just unplug it from the magnatron prior to removal?
For model number PT7800SH8SS
Hi William,
Thank you for your question. For safety reasons, since the microwave capacitor can still store electricity even when the microwave is unplugged, it is usually advised that you discharge the capacitor before any attempt at repair. We have included a link on how to do so. If you have any questions, please let us know. We are open 7 days a week. We look forward to hearing from you!
I need a replacement Magnetron cover. I cannot find the part number for this cover. The tabs on my cover have broken off. Is a replacement cover available?

Hello Jessica, thank you for the question. We do not see a separate cover, however the Magnetron may actually come with the part you are searching for. We have a photo on our site for part PS12722595. If you need help placing an order, customer service is open 7 days a week. Please feel free to give us a call. We look forward to hearing from you.
