General Electric Microwave Magnetron

The Magnetron is an OEM part for GE microwaves. It is the component responsible for generating the microwave energy that cooks food. The magnetron converts electrical energy into microwave radiation, which heats and cooks the food evenly.

Over time, the magnetron can fail due to wear and tear, electrical issues, or overheating. Causes of a bad magnetron include electrical surges, prolonged usage without proper cooling, or physical damage from impacts or mishandling.

Symptoms of a bad magnetron include:

• The microwave not heating food
• Unusual buzzing or humming noises
• Burning smell during operation
• The microwave shutting off abruptly or not starting

This GE replacement part is also compatible with Hotpoint, RCA, and some Kenmore models.

The Magnetron is an OEM part for GE microwaves. The magnetron converts electrical energy into microwave radiation, which heats and cooks the food placed inside the microwave oven.

Over time, the magnetron can wear out or fail due to regular use, electrical surges, or overheating. A malfunctioning magnetron can lead to the microwave not heating properly, reducing its overall functionality and efficiency.

Symptoms of a bad magnetron include:

• The microwave not heating food at all
• Unusual noises such as buzzing or humming during operation
• A burning smell or visible damage inside the microwave
• The microwave turning on but failing to heat

This OEM GE part is also compatible with Hotpoint, RCA, and some Kenmore models.

This is the high-voltage magnetron for a microwave oven. It generates the microwave energy that heats food; replacing a weak or failed magnetron can restore normal cooking performance and resolve "runs but no heat" complaints.

• Generates the RF energy that cooks and heats inside the microwave cavity
• Common fix when the microwave runs but does not heat
• Symptoms can include unusually loud humming/buzzing during operation
• Helps with intermittent heating or a burnt odor from a failing tube

• Disconnect power and safely discharge the high-voltage capacitor before servicing
• Note wire locations; transfer any shielding, brackets, or insulators from the original as required
• Mount securely and ensure correct orientation for proper cooling airflow
• After reassembly, test heating with a cup of water

This magnetron assembly generates the microwave energy that heats food. Replace a weak or failed unit to restore proper cooking performance and resolve no-heat complaints when the microwave appears to run but no longer warms items. What it does:

• Converts high-voltage power into microwave energy to heat food inside the oven cavity
• Failure can cause: microwave runs but won't heat or takes much longer to heat
• Often accompanied by a loud humming/buzzing during cook
• May trip the internal fuse/breaker or shut off shortly after start
• Visible damage to the magnetron antenna cap or signs of arcing near the waveguide can point to failure

• 1 magnetron assembly

• Unplug the microwave and safely discharge the high-voltage capacitor before servicing
• Remove the outer cover to access the magnetron; note wire locations and orientation
• Transfer any required mounting hardware/shields from the old part; avoid touching or damaging the ceramic insulators or antenna cap
• Reassemble completely and test heating with a cup of water—never operate the unit empty

• No-heat issues can also be caused by a failed high-voltage diode, capacitor, transformer, or door switches; diagnose where safe before replacing

A replacement magnetron assembly that generates the microwave energy used for cooking and reheating. Installs in countertop and over-the-range microwave ovens to restore normal heating performance when the magnetron fails. What it does:

• Produces high-frequency microwave energy that heats food inside the oven cavity.
• Commonly replaces a unit when the microwave stops heating or heats very weakly.
• Can address symptoms like no/poor heating, intermittent heating, or loud humming from the oven during operation.
• Not a control or capacitor—this part is the microwave-generating tube and works with the oven's HV system.

• Always disconnect power and unplug the appliance before starting service.
• The high-voltage capacitor can retain a dangerous charge; discharge properly.
• Handle the magnetron carefully; avoid touching terminals or the antenna.
• Follow OEM instructions and safety guidelines for reassembly and testing.

This is a magnetron that is used on microwave ovens. The purpose of the magnetron is to provide the microwaves that actually cook the foot inside of the microwave oven. Use caution when replacing this part. High-voltage capacitors in microwaves can retain a deadly amount of electrical charge, even when they are unplugged.If the microwave begins making a buzzing noise and doesn't heat food properly, this part will need to be replaced. Use extreme caution when working with this appliance. Unplug the unit first.This particular magnetron is compatible with microwave ovens that are manufactured by the General Electric, Hotpoint, and Maytag brands. This part is sold individually and is sourced directly from the manufacturer as a genuine OEM part.

Magnetron assembly that produces the microwave energy used to heat food. Replacing a failed magnetron restores heating performance so the oven can warm and cook food properly. What it does

• Generates the microwave energy that heats food; a failed magnetron typically causes little or no heating.
• Can produce loud humming or buzzing if failing.
• May cause sparking/arcing inside the cavity or a burning/odd smell when faulty.
• A bad magnetron can lead to blown fuses or tripped safety devices.

• High-voltage component — unplug the appliance before service. The high-voltage capacitor can retain dangerous charge; do not touch terminals.
• Recommended for installation by someone experienced with microwave high-voltage systems.
• Ensure all panels and covers are reinstalled before powering on.

This magnetron generates microwave energy to heat food in compatible countertop and over-the-range microwaves. Replacing a worn magnetron restores cooking power and helps eliminate uneven heating or failure to heat. What it does:

• Converts high-voltage electrical power into microwave radiation used to cook and reheat food
• Common symptom: oven runs but food doesn't heat or heats very slowly
• May also be needed if you notice loud buzzing, arcing, or burning odors during operation
• Works with the microwave's high-voltage system; other components may also need inspection

• One magnetron (single unit as shown)

• Disconnect power and discharge the microwave's high-voltage capacitor before servicing
• Inspect surrounding parts (waveguide, diode, capacitor, and cooling fan) for damage during replacement
• Use only the correct replacement part number to ensure proper fit and safe operation

This magnetron generates the microwave energy that heats and cooks food in a microwave oven. Replacing a failed magnetron restores heating performance so your microwave can again cook and reheat reliably. What it does

• Converts high-voltage electrical energy into microwave radiation used to heat food
• Common symptom: microwave runs but does not heat or heats weakly
• A failed magnetron can trip fuses or circuit breakers inside the oven

• Disconnect power and verify the appliance is unplugged before service
• High-voltage components (magnetron, capacitor, transformer) can hold lethal charge — discharge the capacitor and follow safety procedures
• Use proper replacement hardware and gasketing as required; secure mounting and shielding per OEM instructions

This is the microwave's magnetron—the high-voltage tube that generates microwave energy to heat food. Replacing a failed magnetron can restore normal heating performance and consistent cooking. What it does and common symptoms:
