Microwave Transformer

The Microwave High Voltage Transformer is essential for maintaining the optimal performance of your microwave. This genuine OEM part ensures reliable high voltage conversion, allowing your appliance to heat food efficiently and safely. Designed to replace the original TRANS H.V;SHV-U5165B,120, it guarantees a perfect fit and seamless integration with your Samsung microwave. By choosing this high-quality transformer, you can restore your microwave's functionality without compromising on safety or performance. Compatible with a range of Samsung microwave models, this genuine OEM part facilitates easy installation, saving you time and effort. Whether your microwave is not heating properly or the original transformer has failed, the Microwave High Voltage Transformer provides a dependable solution to get your appliance working like new again.

The Transformer is an OEM component specifically designed for GE microwaves. It acts as the essential electrical converter that receives normal household current and steps it up into the precisely controlled high voltage needed to power the magnetron tube. During use, the transformer transmits regulated H.V. output to ignite the magnetron and generate safe microwave energy for cooking.

Causes of a bad transformer include wear from long-term heat cycling strains and potential pinhole leaks developing over many years of service. 

Symptoms of a bad transformer include:

• Magnetron failing to ignite or running intermittently
• Portions of foods not heating thoroughly on lower power levels  
• Electrical buzzing or burning smells detected
• Microwave slowly losing full power ability over time

This OEM GE replacement is compatible with Hotpoint, RCA and select Kenmore microwave models as well.

This high-voltage transformer supplies the elevated voltage needed by the magnetron to produce microwave energy. Replacing a faulty transformer restores heating performance and reduces risk of electrical faults in the oven. What it does:

• Converts line voltage to the high voltage required by the magnetron to generate microwaves.
• Can cause no-heat conditions when failed; replaces a transformer that no longer powers the magnetron.
• Works with the HV capacitor and diode as part of the microwave high-voltage circuit.

• Disconnect power at the house breaker and unplug the appliance before servicing.
• The high-voltage capacitor can hold a dangerous charge—discharge it properly before touching HV components.
• Use insulated tools and avoid contact with transformer terminals; refer to the service manual for wiring and mounting details.

This H.V. transformer supplies the high voltage needed to drive the magnetron in microwave ovens so food heats properly. Replacing a failed transformer restores the high-voltage supply that powers microwave output. What it does:

• Converts incoming low-voltage power to the high-voltage required by the magnetron
• Enables normal heating; a bad transformer can cause no-heat or weak-heat symptoms
• Can produce humming, burning smells, arcing, or tripped fuses when failing
• Works with the high-voltage diode and capacitor as part of the HV circuit

• One H.V. transformer

• Disconnect power and verify the appliance is unplugged before starting
• Discharge the high-voltage capacitor fully to prevent shock; use insulated tools
• Handle the transformer carefully — it is heavy and mounted with screws/brackets

This replacement transformer provides the correct low-voltage power feed that control boards and other electrical circuits need to operate reliably. Replaces a worn or failed transformer to restore control power and normal appliance operation. What it does

• Steps down incoming line voltage to the lower voltage required by the appliance control circuits.
• Supplies stable power to the control board, relays, and sensors so features respond correctly.
• Common symptom: control panel is unresponsive or appliance does not start while main power is present.
• Common symptom: intermittent operation or controls cycling on and off.

• One replacement transformer (single unit)

• Disconnect all power to the appliance before beginning work to avoid shock.
• Handle wiring and terminals carefully; secure all connections and mount the transformer per the original orientation.
