Rank: Member Groups: Registered Joined: 1/12/2010(UTC) Posts: 1		This microwave oven has, over the past several months, gradually lost power and taken longer and longer to attain a given heat level. I believe it to be the Magnetron failing and needing to be replaced. What is your opinion? Also, I have pulled the microwave out and gone into it, but can't figure out how to get the present magnetron out. Would appreciate any advice you may have.
