I have a Kitchenaid over-the-cooktop microwave that started making crackling or arcing sounds a few weeks back. It still heats properly but the sound is disconcerting. Reading online suggests problems with the magnetron. Is this likely the problem and if so, is it worth trying to repair? The magnetron costs about $160 online, and I'm handy and can do it myself, but are there other considerations beyond the magnetron?
