WB27X10682 General Electric Microwave Magnetron

The Microwave Magnetron is a crucial component in GE microwaves, essential for producing the microwave energy that cooks and heats food. This OEM replacement part is compatible with various GE brands such as Cafe, General Electric, Monogram, Haier, Hotpoint, Profile, Fisher & Paykel, and Sears-Kenmore. Additionally, it fits certain models from Hotpoint, RCA, and some Kenmore units.

Common problems that indicate a failing Magnetron include the microwave not heating despite being powered on, emitting loud noises like humming or buzzing during use, producing burnt smells or smoke, and showing error codes related to heating issues on the display.

The deterioration of a Magnetron can result from several factors, such as a burnt-out unit, complications with the high-voltage diode that supplies power, or issues with the control board that oversees its function. Replacing a faulty Magnetron can resolve problems such as failure to heat and excessive noise during operation.
