All input and output microwave connections, waveguide, flange and gasket must be secure never operate the device without a microwave energy absorbing load attached.
Never look into an open waveguide or antenna while the device is energized.
• Proper operation of the microwave oven requires that the magnetron be assembled to the waveguide and cavity. Never operate the magnetron unless it is properly installed.
• Be sure that the magnetron gasket is properly installed around the dome of the tube whenever installing the magnetron.

22002922 Maytag Washer Tub Spring Removal Tool
By · CommentsThis is the tool used to remove the tube/base springs from some maytag top load washer.
This tools is not necessary to remove the springs, but it sure makes the job a lot easier.
I have found it a lot harder to get the springs back on without this tool then it is to get them off.
If you don’t have this tool available to you here is a little trick I learned.
Once you have one spring off you can use that spring to aid you in the removal and installation of the other springs.
Simply place the hook of the spring you removed into the hook of the spring you want to install or remove and pull up.

Appliance Repair Wiring Diagrams
By · Comments
A wiring diagram is a convenient way of showing which components are present in an appliance, and how those components are connected together electrically.
Just as a road map helps you to get where you’re going, a wiring diagram helps you follow current flow and identify problems.
It is important to realize that wiring diagrams, or “schematics,” identify electrical connections and current flow, but they do not represent actual locations, distances apart, or component placement (unless noted on the drawing). Nor are they drawn to scale.
They do tell you what components are used and how the electricity should flow.
