Greetings,

Can someone tell me the part # of the magnetron for microwave oven
Emerson MW9107WC?

I know I could probably just take it apart and see for myself, but
would like to determine cost effectiveness of getting a
replacement
part and repairing myself, bringing to service technician, or just
getting a new one.

How do you know the magnetron is bad, if you haven't even opened
the
unit
yet?

How do you know that you're dead?

You just touched the 4kV terminal.

just curious, have there been any microwave oven deaths recently?

I used to hear about them every year or so from trade newsletters,
but
considering a microwave oven is throw away item these days, I'm guess
less
people bother to even have them fixed in the first place.

Maybe the message is getting through to people just how lethal the HT
in
a
microwave is, or as you say less people bother repairing them.

My microwave was found put outside someones door in the flats, when I
tested
it I found the mains plug wired wrong (live case) it worked fine once
the
plug had been re-wired and has been since quite a long time ago.

I've noticed they use torx-ish screws on them these days, probably to
discourage people from opening them, but there's nothing other than the
standard warnings on them for any electronics you plug in. considering
they cost $99 these days, I don't see anybody other than people who
used
to actually fix stuff trying to salvage one.

Mine has started to rust at the bottom of the oven compartment so I wave
the
leakage meter at it from time to time, meanwhile I rescue any that turn
up
in the bin room so there's a fighting chance to cobble something
together
when the one I'm using eventually goes phut.

Has anybody worked on those "inverter" microwaves that lack the giant
transformer?

I've been looking for one in the trash to peek inside, but haven't come
across any
yet.

Nor me - the suspense is killing me!

I replaced the supply in my Panasonic. Looks like a TV flyback!
Price for the board was around 50 bucks.
