Microwave Magnetron

This magnetron converts high-voltage electrical energy into microwave energy to heat food in a microwave oven. Replacing a failed magnetron restores cooking power and eliminates cold or uneven heating. What it does:

• Generates the microwave radiation that cooks food inside the oven cavity
• Restores normal heating when a burned-out magnetron causes no-heat or weak heating
• Addresses symptoms such as loud arcing, a burning smell, or no microwave output
• Works with the oven's high-voltage circuit and waveguide to deliver microwaves to the cavity

• Disconnect power and allow capacitors to fully discharge before servicing; high-voltage risk is present even with the unit unplugged
• Inspect and replace any damaged waveguide covers or high-voltage components when present
• Use correct mounting hardware and gasket alignment to avoid arcing or microwave leakage

This magnetron is the microwave's high-voltage tube that generates the microwaves used to heat food. Replacing a faulty magnetron restores heating performance and stops power-related cooking failures. What it does:

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:

• Produces the microwave energy that heats and cooks food
• Microwave runs but doesn't heat
• Loud humming or buzzing from the high-voltage section
• Trips the internal fuse or household breaker at start-up
• Unusual burning odor indicating an internal short

• 1 magnetron

• Unplug the microwave; the high-voltage capacitor can retain a dangerous charge even when unplugged.
• Handle the antenna dome carefully; avoid touching or contaminating its surface.
• Transfer any required brackets, insulators, or thermal cutouts from the original part as designed; ensure correct orientation and secure mounting for proper cooling.
• Reinstall all covers, grounds, and door-interlock components exactly as designed before testing.

The Magnetron is an OEM component specifically designed for Whirlpool microwaves. It generates microwave energy for efficient cooking and reheating. 

Symptoms of a faulty magnetron include:

• Food taking excessively long cook times  
• Inconsistent or incomplete heating from cold spots
• Sparking noises emanating from inside cavity

Causes like normal use diminish performance over time. Complex circuitry makes repairs difficult.

This OEM Whirlpool part is compatible with Maytag, KitchenAid, Jenn-Air, Amana, Magic Chef, Admiral, Norge, Roper, and Kenmore microwave models.
