The microwave function stopped working. You realize how much you use a microwave until yours is broken. After careful diagnosis, it was fou D the the magnetron was bad. I found the exact part on Parts Dr. Shipping was really fast. I replaced the magnetron and haven't had a problem since. I will definitely look to Parts Dr. for any more appliance repairs.

Repair & Advice
I don’t know anything about appliances and don’t like working on them. I usually buy higher end appliances expecting them to last longer. This microwave is 3 years old. So I guess you buy features not quality.
My advice is buy the least expensive appliances that will serve your purpose, I could’ve bought a lower end microwave for the cost of repair with my labor if I would’ve paid for a service it would have cost double at least.
Replacing the part is quick and easy. The hardest thing is removing it and removing the many screws holding the cover.
