Default Magnetrons are pretty cool...

when they aren't burnt up. Our microwave (Thermadore) which matched our double ovens started arcing awhile back, then totally quit. I figured I'd at least take a swing at fixing it since I paid way more than I should have just to have a matching built-in microwave back in 2009 or whenever it was. Pulled it out, took the cover off, and the first thing I checked was the magnetron since it's pretty simple to do. Oh, it was fried all right. I don't think anything else is wrong with it, and a replacement was only $80 plus a few bucks in shipping. New magnetron will be here Friday hopefully.
