Magnetron testing
Did magnetrons can be tested by simple ways? for example, using a
Digital Multimeter How do I know if a magnetron is still good or defective? Is there an average measure o test between the magnetron's terminals That could be indicative of a failure? |

Its hard to tell on these new invertor ovens ..The tube can test totaly

Test the filament, test for shorts, closely examine for physical problems like cracked magnets. Beyond that, ruling out other causes and then going for a replacement is about the only safe option. --- sam | Sci.Electronics.Repair FAQ Mirror: http://repairfaq.ece.drexel.edu/ Repair | Main Table of Contents: http://repairfaq.ece.drexel.edu/REPAIR/ +Lasers | Sam's Laser FAQ: http://repairfaq.ece.drexel.edu/sam/lasersam.htm | Mirror Sites: http://repairfaq.ece.drexel.edu/REPAIR/F_mirror.html Note: These links are hopefully temporary until we can sort out the excessive traffic on Repairfaq.org.

Magnetron testing
Agreed, either it will or will not function. Open filament or shorts to the
case tend to be common failures, cracked or broken magnets due to overheating or mechanical stress. Continuity check across the filaments for low reading and from filament leads to case for open.
