Hi...

We have a 6 year-old GE Spacemaker microwave that has stopped microwaving. The fan, lights, turntable, etc all still work - just no microwaves.

a) Is this worth repairing or is replacing the only good option?

b) What would the cost of the tube be, and is this a repair that can be done DIY? I know there's a big capacitor in there I have to watch out for, but other than that?

Thanks
Mark

Check the high voltage fuse ? Mine got that problem, replaced it with
the same fuse from eBay, and now it's working.

(Be sure to discharge the capacitor is discharged ?)

fuse?

do you mean high voltage rectifier- the black thing with two leads?
