all sounds and looks fine but no heating going on this 5 y.o. samsung microwave. If it is door switch (any one of 3 I believe) how to check or if magnetron I'd think I'd have to throw away...Advice?

- thanks for your advice on my microwave...so is there a way to test the magnetron to be sure that is it...I'll see if its under waranty, if not guess its trash...thanks so much
It's most likely the magnatron. If it sounds good it's not the switches, transformer or diode. If you still have the book for it, a lot of magnatrons are covered under warranty for 5 years. Unless it's a real nice microwave, it's usually going to cost $100 for a mag and nowdays it's almost cheaper to get a new one. Good luck

our Orbit LG smartwave key pad doesn't register when we push the 1 or cook time. Other numbers and features work. Where do we get the key pad to replace? OR do we ditch the whole thing?
