Normally this is just a high voltage diode, the magnatrons don't pack up. If you are opening the back this will not break any seals as these are on the door. Use a mulitmeater and check to see if open circuit. You will see it, its a dirty great big diode. Don't run the microwave with the back removed. P.s you can get replacement s on flee bay but make sure it is rated for microwave use as the voltages are a lot higher than normal.
