Hello:

I am wondering if anyone can provide instructions on removing a
magnetron from a GE 'over the range' Spacesaver microwave (model
JVM1631WB).

I am able to remove the control panel and drain the capacitor,
however, I am not certain of the best way to gain access to the
magnetron, which I assume is located behind the main cooling fan.

Thanks in advance for your help.

Chris

Jeff - Just read the link. I'm really impressed with the work you put
into helping a fellow 'netizen with repairing his microwave.

Just thought I'd say 'thank you' for taking the time to help us all
out.




Hey Jeff!

Your message was AWESOME! I am glad I posted to this group and even
happier to find your reply!

Two questions:
1. I take it you _must_ remove the unit from the wall to replace this
magnetron?
2. My problem seems to be a loud hum/sparking located in the area of the
microwave directly behind the main capacitor...I am assuming that this is
the typical 'GE magnetron issue'. Do you agree?

God bless.

Chris
