They told me that it was the magnatron, is that the same as the transformer
and does that sound right that it is the magnatron?

Thanks to all for the replies. I will question Sears and also let them
know that I've been told that this is a rarity.
And I will let you know what they say.

After two weeks in the Sears repair shop, they finally looked at my
microwave and they told me that I need a new transformer. Going by my
earlier postings regarding the problems and the replies that I received,
do
you think that this sounds like a good diagnosis? It will cost me $400
Canadian. I bought the microwave in '99 for $600 Can. If it is an
accurate
diagnosis do you think it would be worth to fix it at this price?

Thanks
Jeff



That sounds unlikely, the only time I've *ever* seen a microwave
transformer
fail was on an ancient Amana RadarRange and that was 20 years ago, the
oven
started billowing putrid smoke.
