Description

A magnetron thermostat that helps prevent the microwave's high-voltage magnetron from overheating, protecting the component and helping restore proper heating when the original thermostat fails. Installs behind the microwave's magnetron assembly. What it does

• Acts as a thermal cutoff for the magnetron to stop operation if temperatures exceed safe limits.
• Common symptom: microwave runs but does not heat or heats intermittently.
• Common symptom: appliance shuts down unexpectedly or trips thermal protection.
• Helps prevent damage to the magnetron from sustained overheating.

What's included

• One magnetron thermostat

Install notes

• Install only with power disconnected; high-voltage microwave components can store lethal charge—discharge the high-voltage capacitor before service.
• Verify correct part fit and orientation behind the magnetron; follow OEM wiring and mounting locations.
• Only replace this part if the existing thermostat is confirmed faulty; check related components (magnetron, high-voltage diode, capacitor) as needed.
