Samsung Micro stopped heating after a long session of use. the oven turns on, turntable spins, lights come on, no funny nothing. just no heat.
so far:
Looked at door switches, they tested OK but the contacts were suspect. Replaced two of three, nothing. Replaced third, nothing.
Removed HV capacitor and tested - not good, although tested only for a reading at spec resistance. Bought a new one, that tested good at the spec resistance.
Tested the magnetron, in situ, disconnected. That seems to test OK based on what internet people say; there is no continuity between terminal and chassis.
What is next?
