How do I fix the fatal error G2 overheated magnatron on an Amana AXP-20 oven? What would would have caused this?
This is generally caused by the magnetron overheating,you need to check the cooling motor for function and that the airways on the machine are not blocked as this is a commonly looked over reason for overheating magentron triggers.the other fault is a failed part
I think the word "fatal" in the error message indicates that the only repair available is replacement of the magnetron. As to the cause of the failure, my first guess would be a metal object or a ceramic with metal in the clay. Such objects cause a short-circuit within the microwave oven and often result in magnetron failure. Old age would be my second guess: either years or heavy use could result in magnetron failure.
Fatal is a word used by companies to scare you from serving yourself. This way their tech/company make service calls on back end. The above answer is correct, there is videos online, how to test magnetron, fans, motors ect. Process of elimination. If you still can't figure it out CALL the company, they will assist you in pinpointing the exact problem and give you the part number to replace. I call them all the time to 2nd my opinion before I spend companies money.

Sounds like a loose connection or a failing hood thermostat. That's right behind the control panel on the base plate.

the error is CS.... Current sensing error. The likely problem is a bad magnetron. The costly issue is there are three magnetrons in this unit.
