If I were going to undertake a repair on something that is putting out 1kw of RF energy, I'd sure as hell have a schematic and understand a safe repair. We take extra care on anything over a few milliwatts. Yes, it will make your nads go away, but you'll probably have other issues first.

I have no idea what the resources are that Cowboy has, but microwave ovens are something with which one needs to take extra care. I'm not an appliance repairman, but I do understand microwave leakage. I'm sure any replacement part comes with instructions on how to best keep the energy in the oven, as opposed to attacking your flesh.

There's a reason for the size of the holes that are in the front of your mw oven behind the glass. There are a bunch of other protections in place to make sure the RF stays where it is wanted.

It will be interesting to me whether the warning message goes away with a replacement, or is some sort of thing that needs "manufacturer intervention".
