You got 11 years off a magnatron in a GE microwave? You are the man.
I understand that it's built in and you'd probably rather not deal with
changing it. However, a newer one probably would be fairly cheap and
easy to fit in there because the technology has made them lighter and
smaller.


My old GE Spacesaver only had about 11" inside from front to back; the new one
is a hair over 14".... and yet I doubt it sticks out more than 1/2" further into
the room than the old one. This has made the difference between night and day
in terms of what I can stick inside it. I believe it's probably roughly twice
the power, and now I have defrosting and other features the old one didn't.

Although the instructions specifically say not to install it without help, I
love a challenge and was able to hang it by myself. I used a couple of 24"
spreader clamps to help hold things steady when it ran the bolts through....
jamming them between the bottom of the oven and the countertop on either side of
the stovetop. It was a bit of a job but like I said... I love a challenge.
Sure turned out well...
