W10245183 Whirlpool Magnetron

The Magnetron is a component manufactured by Whirlpool, which is essential for generating the microwave energy needed to cook and heat food in microwaves. Whirlpool's range of brands includes Whirlpool, Amana, KitchenAid, Maytag, Jenn-Air, Magic Chef, Roper, and Admiral. Additionally, Whirlpool manufactures compatible parts for Sears-Kenmore and Ikea appliances.

A Magnetron may deteriorate due to normal usage over time, electrical problems such as power surges, or physical harm from being dropped or mishandled.

When a Magnetron is failing, several signs may be noticeable: the microwave might not heat food adequately, there could be arcing or sparking within the microwave's interior, unusual noises or buzzing sounds might occur during use, and there may be a burning smell or smoke emission.

This Whirlpool OEM part is also suitable for use in appliances from Maytag, KitchenAid, Jenn-Air, Amana, Magic Chef, Admiral, Norge, Roper, and some Kenmore models. It primarily addresses issues where the microwave fails to heat.
