Expert Review
If your Buffalo microwave's light comes on and the plate spins, but your food stays stubbornly cold, it's almost certainly the magnetron that's given up the ghost. This genuine replacement part is the heart of the heating system. While it's a straightforward swap for a qualified engineer, always ensure the unit is safely discharged before attempting any repairs.
Installation & Maintenance
- Always unplug the microwave from the mains first.
- Ensure capacitors are fully discharged before handling parts.
- Professional installation is strongly recommended for safety.
- Keep the microwave interior clean to protect components.
