Description

This microwave high-voltage transformer steps household AC up to the high voltage required by the magnetron to generate microwave energy. Replacing a failed transformer restores heat when the oven runs but food remains cold.

• Steps up line voltage to supply the magnetron during cooking
• Common symptom of failure: microwave runs but does not heat
• May also cause loud humming, a burning odor, or tripped breaker/fuse when energized
• Visual signs can include scorching or discoloration on the windings or terminals

What's included: 1 high-voltage transformer Install notes:

• Disconnect power; the high-voltage capacitor can retain a dangerous charge—discharge it before servicing
• High-voltage microwave repairs are hazardous
• Note wire positions and mounting orientation before removal; transfer any brackets or insulators as configured
• Secure with original hardware and verify all connections are tight and routed clear of heat or moving parts
