Manufacturer Part Number: WB27X44106

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
What's included:
  • 1 magnetron
Install notes:
  • 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.

Hi Olin. Usually a high voltage issue will be noticed if there are sparks or a deep erratic growling noise along with it. Use a volt/ohm meter part #@ MA-DM1 to assist you in your diagnostics. Disconnect the mag. leads and measure the mag terminals for 1-ohm or less. (Good). Then measure each terminal to ground to check for no-(infinity) ohms that tells us the magnetron is not shorted. If it is then it is part # WB27X32766. Look at the individual external magnets for cracks. Check the diode part # WB27X10037 and the capacitor part # WB27X11031 for proper values. You can not check the supply voltage to a magnetron (or any high voltage device). It is approx. 14,000 volts and is a killer. Thank You.
