Parts for Lg LRM1260SW: Base Plate Parts

This high-voltage transformer steps household AC up to the level the magnetron needs to generate microwave energy. Replace a failing transformer to restore reliable heating when the unit runs but food remains cold.

• Steps up line voltage to the high voltage required by the magnetron
• Works with the high-voltage capacitor and diode to create microwave energy
• Failure can cause running but no heat, loud humming/buzzing, burning odor, or visible overheating
• Shorted windings can blow the internal fuse or trip a breaker

• Unplug the microwave; high-voltage components can retain a dangerous charge—properly discharge the HV capacitor.
• Remove the outer cabinet, label wire locations, and disconnect leads carefully. Transfer any mounting hardware/brackets and secure the transformer firmly.
• Verify all connections are tight and routed correctly; reassemble and test with a cup of water. Do not operate the microwave empty.
