I'm having the same problem and I plan on replacing the magnetron once GE delivers it. Does anyone know where I can find instructions on the web for how to replace it?

When a magnetron goes bad, it has to be replaced. A magnetron cannot be repaired.

The parts and labor warranty for most brands is one year, and the magnetron warranty is usually about 5 years.

If it fails after the first year, you will have to pay for the labor for the home call and replacement of the magnetron, which often runs about $125-165, depending on your market.

They should not charge you the part cost of the magnetron.
