Everything else seems to work appropriately. This appears to be a common problem w/these GE's as per google search. I've located the troubleshooting chart and appears it is the HV Capacitor - does this seem correct? Would I also replace the HV Diode as well? Are these units notorious for repair issues? If so, should I consider replacing the entire unit - recommendation? Thanks

You were right - this is one of the most common problem with GE microwaves for a few last years. Check with GE - the part could be under the limited warranty which does not cover the labor charge. - The part number for the magnetron is AP2025937 Gene.

In addition, if the high voltage capacitor is shorted out then it will cause the in-line fuse to blow out. I hope GE did fix it. Gene.
