I am replacing the original HV transformer with a different HV transformer that I bought off ebay and I need help connecting the wires from the magnetron and HV capacitor to the HV transformer.
If the old transformer still has continuity on all 3 windings, then you should be able to match up the wires with the old one based on the resistance of each one. However, if you do this, make sure you are getting similar readings on the new transformer vs. the old. If I was installing a non-exact replacement, I would put voltage on the primary using a variac set to a very low voltage. Then you can safely measure the high voltage and filiament winding voltages to see if they would be correct if 120 vac was applied to it.
If you need further help, I’m available over the phone at https://www.6ya.com/expert/david_29ad5d1dd86564b0
Hi mike,
I’m sorry to tell you this but; I wouldn't recommend using a different transformer, even if it's the same size, it could cause serious damage. The HV transformer should only be replaced with the exact replacement part.
You can solder a wire on here to bridge the broken trace. 1 min fix!

I have a sim problem I have a Jen Air JMC7000ADB from what I can see they used the same transformer in a whirlpool and Maytag but they have discontinued the transformer for all these models can any one help I need to replace with a like transformer but dont know what replacement would work I have a 1400W microwave or atleast thats what it says inside the microwave but every place I read about this microwave tells me its a 1000W Please tell me what transformer will replace this the number on my transformer is DW-N95AO-16TH the the part number that whirlpool and maytag used was 560012221
