Description

This magnetron is the high-voltage microwave tube that generates the microwaves used to heat food. Replacing a failed magnetron restores microwave heating when oven components and control functions are otherwise working. What it does:

• Converts high-voltage electrical energy into microwave radiation that heats food.
• Commonly linked to no-heat or weak-heat symptoms when magnetron output drops or fails.
• May produce unusual noises or burning smells if damaged or shorted.
• Works with the oven's high-voltage system; other components can cause similar symptoms.

What's included: 1 magnetron (single unit) Install notes:

• Disconnect power and unplug the appliance before servicing; microwave capacitors can hold lethal charge.
• Avoid touching the ceramic insulators and antenna; handle the tube by its metal body and bracket.
