Got to say, this was a fix for my 1000W Whirlpool unit. I managed to find a couple dead units at the dump (different brands didn't matter), and by using your Ohm testing method was able to identify that my connector was shorted, and I acquired a working connector from the salvage unit. Extracting the Filament terminal and soldering the connections back together has resulted in a very happy wife. I really appreciate you explaining this so well, as not only did you save me $500 but you also allowed me to prevent a perfectly good unit ending up in the landfill because of a simple $3 part. Fingers crossed it lasts for many years to come.

Great video. In my experience the connectors do not work for very long. After trying this method 3 times with the same results, I went back to soldering the connection. It is not easy as the materials are hard but with some assistance from some helping hands clamps, I was able to heat both sides of the connection adequately to make the solder joint. The solder joint is holding well after a few weeks exceeding the connector method.

Repaired my Whirlpool after looking at this video and others. (Order at Grandado) Thanx

I have just tried to repair my microwave oven. It was a Hamilton Beach model P90D23AL. Everything worked, but the mag would not turn on. I did the easy checks first: the mag-circuit (diode, capacitor, fuse, mag filament, connection to transform HV coil). There were no improper shorts or open circuits. The diode tested well. Then I checked the transformer primary for continuity or shorts. No problem. The HV secondary was 150 ohms to the case. No problem!

Fixed my microwave! I soldered the connections and it held well.

Thank you for the video! I have now successfully replaced the white plastic connector assembly and the appliance has been working great. I used a different method of connecting the inductors to the connector terminals, but the basic repair is the same. (I used 2 properly sized bare metal crimp butt splices. I positioned the new connector outside the case to allow space for the crimp tool to do it's work, then assembled it with the screws and nuts.) FYI - The old connector/capacitor assembly has a small visible bulge and burn mark on the side that now measures about 26 ohms to its mounting bracket, so it's definitely the cause of the magnetron's failure.

Thanks for the video. Good visual representation of the job. It would have been nice if there was more narration about what the different things were that you were doing.

[@MarcuttiMarco]

Thanks for de video easy repair. greetings marco

[@gilbertocanojr]

What are the clamps that you used to connect the terminals without soldering?

[@indervirdhillon5430]

Thank you

[@r.kelectronics6164]

Perfect repair

[@alexnunez4019]

Awesome video. Thank you for creating and posting!!

[@Smallz2000i]

Can i ask why did you not use sloder, im asking because i used solder for mine wondering if ill run into problems, as the mag heats up?

[@tauraimachingura]

Great video,thanx a lot

[@mishandr6717]

Well done, keep up good work!

Good job and explaination. Thanks

Thanks you for the demonstrating the terminals shorting to the chassis. Over time and due to high voltage the porcelain weakens and provides a path to the chassis.

Thank you.
