Microwave would not heat the food placed inside on the dish.

Screwdriver

Viewed a video on YouTube on how to change the magnetron. It was super easy to change the magnetron with the video assistance.

Whirlpool microwave LOUD Hum with no heat

Philips and torx with electrically isolated handles - volt meter - skills

Bad hum, no heat in microwave, tried the CL04-12 diode first (must drain, short out big capacitor first - look on YouTube for this, so you don't injure yourself) The diode is inexpensive, so worth a try first, but did not heat after new diode. So I needed a new magnetron, I did not know about partsdr.com and was a bit skeptical (since they had the lowest price of everyone, much lower...) BUT they looked legit after checking them. Part came really fast with basic shipping across the US. Part was brand new in factory box. I will be buying from them from now one, very happy. Microwave is working now, wife is happy!!!!

Microwave would not heat food.

Phillips head screwdriver.

Replacing the part was pretty straightforward. I removed all the screws that held the cabinet in place. Located the magnetron and removed it by unplugging the connector and removing the Phillips head screws. Installation was the reverse of removal. Works like a charm!
