microwave motor ?

they are motors.....there are many threads on how to break them down (a good one under transformers) and threads on whether it's worth it or not to break them down. (I always do...some don't want to or don't have time) First thing is to scratch the windings to make sure it's copper. the little ones with thin wires are almost always copper, but sometimes it's hard to tell. I just lightly rub it with a file and if it's AL you'll see silver....if in doubt, assume it's copper cause it's feather light anyway...put in #2 bucket. Sometimes in microwave motors one side is AL and one CU, so file both sides, but I go ahead and take them both out. Good luck.
