Question melted fan blade magnetron to hot?
Model Number: aco1860ac   Brand: Amana   Age: 1 - 5 years   
the fan blade melted thats how hot it got.
my question since everything still seems to work except it does not heat up is it possible that the magnetron is burned or does it have a separate fuse like a slow blow if so where is it located and if it is blown how can i check the magnetron?
is it worth fixing?
Thank you
Ray P

You can check the magnetron with a ohm meter to see if it is shorted to ground.

If the fan motor runs ok, then I would replace the fan blade and fuse.
