Deciding whether it is worth replacing a burned-out magnetron in a residential microwave oven depends heavily on the age of the appliance and whether it is a built-in over-the-range model or a cheap countertop unit. Because a replacement magnetron typically costs between sixty and one hundred and fifty dollars, repairing a countertop microwave that originally cost one hundred dollars is financially impractical. However, replacing a magnetron on an expensive built-in or over-the-range microwave unit can be cost-effective. You can evaluate pricing by comparing parts catalogs to replacement quotes. You can verify fair value when installing the new magnetron restores high-frequency microwave generation, allowing the appliance to heat food properly and safely.
