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.

G'day,

1. I take it you _must_ remove the unit from the wall to replace this
magnetron?

Yes.

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

Yes.

*Some* of these had an extended warranty, might be a good idea to call
GE to find out, have your full model# and serial# ready...
