My first post. -Oven heats weakly--won't boil water on high -Draws 300 watts on high (rated 1200 watts) -Measures -10KV DC to case at Magnetron terminals on high (10 to 1 high-voltage divider measures 1KV on voltmeter) -diode and capacitor appear to pass simple out of circuit tests -magnetron did actually pass simple resistance tests Looks like the magnetron is faulty? PN: 2M248J (no suffix)
