4450786a How many watts? - Microwave Ovens

Strange, but it is drawing an extra 5 watts and it is electronically controlled. My guess is that you need a 30 watt bulb.

It's 1000 Watts. The manual link is attached: http://products.geappliances.com/MarketingObjectRetrieval/Dispatcher?RequestType=PDF&Name=49-40475.pdf

Watts are watts. 29 watts anywhere are still 29 watts. No conversion.

There is no such conversion.
Fahrenheit is a temperature scale.
Watts is on an energy scale. A 100 watt device will raise a small item's temperature only if left on for a period of time. That same 100 watts will have a hard time raising the temperature of a house even if left on a long time.

Magnetron needs replaced.

CAUTION: Your microwave oven is capable of giving you a serious electrical shock, even when it is unplugged. We strongly suggest you seek the assistance of an appliance repair technician when conducting any microwave oven repair.

Cheaper to buy a new Microwave oven.

There will be a technical sheet hidden behind the controls which will help you locate major components.

The marked diagram below shows you the various parts that can fail and what effect will result.

You can find helpful exploded view diagrams and order parts by part number here.

Check the two fuses first, then if you have to check the cavity TCO, you will likely need to remove the oven from the wall.

If for some reason you don't still have your installation instructions, you can get them - and the parts list - here.

The magnetron may have either failed or is not being supplied with the extremely high voltage required to run it.
Make sure the !!!!capacitor is discharged!!!!! before attempting any sort of repair.
Check the door interlock switches first then the high voltage diode with either an AVO model 8 on high resistance range for short circuit, the feed fuse on the primary of the high voltage transformer and then finally, the magnetron is best checked by substitution.
Hope that helps.

Your 3000 watts should be enough. An average freezer will need 800 or 900 watts.

Put the probe in the oven and beeping stopped. Left it in overnight and next morning took the probe out and there was no beeping. Have not heard beeping all day. Don't know why this worked but it did.

You should be able to use the 25 watt bulb as long as they are compatible with the socket they mount in... Hope that helps...
