WB27X26081 General Electric Microwave Magnetron

Microwave Magnetron Overview:
GE's product range includes brands like Hotpoint, General Electric, and Sears-Kenmore. The magnetron, a key OEM (Original Equipment Manufacturer) component in GE microwaves, plays a crucial role in the appliance's function. It generates the microwave radiation necessary for cooking, by converting electromagnetic energy into microwaves through the acceleration of electrons in a vacuum tube, aided by a magnet.

Common reasons for magnetron failure include frequent use, prolonged cooking sessions, damage from arcing (sparks), and typical deterioration over time.

Signs of a failing magnetron are:

- Uneven or insufficient cooking and heating
- Increased cooking times
- Unevenly cooked or undercooked food
- Buzzing or humming sounds from the microwave during operation

This genuine GE part is engineered to seamlessly replace the existing magnetron in your microwave, thereby enhancing its performance and efficiency. Furthermore, this replacement part is compatible with certain models from Hotpoint, RCA, and some Kenmore microwaves.
