Duncan T. March 10, 2013 for Model Number JVM1631BJ03 Is the WB27X10489 magnetron kit the correct one for this model microwave?
Jerry January 09, 2013 for Model Number jvm1660sb005 I need a magnetron etc for over range ge profile jvm1660sb005. Your web site refers to this as a counter top microwave is the part the same?
1 Answer Hello Jerry! Yes, the model is the same. Your magnetron replacement is part number WB49X10226. Thanks! Read More...
Jerry H January 06, 2013 for Model Number jvm1660sb005 Ge profile microwave over range works but does not heat. Need magnetron, diode, etc. the part number shows a disk like piece that I do not know if I have. Does that disk have instructions? What does it do?
1 Answer Hello Jerry, The disc that you are referring to would be the thermostat WB27X10166 and just mounts to the side of the magnetron. It regulates temp of magnetron to not allow it to overheat. Read More...
Rob December 14, 2012 for Model Number JVM1651BB003 My GE microwave has failed and all indications point to the magnetron. Based on reviews of this failure I'd like to replace both the magnetron and high voltage diode AP2026385. Magnetron part # AP4564705 appears to show two diodes included; are these different from the high voltage piece mentioned above, or is this included in the magnetron kit? Do I need both? I haven't taken the unit off the wall yet and can't view the interior for reference. Thanks!
1 Answer Hello Rob. You will order part number WB49X10226. It comes with the diode needed for the repair. You will not need both diodes. Read More...
Steve October 26, 2012 for Model Number GE 1800XL Microwave. J VM1870 I need to replace the magnetron tube in my GE microwave however I can not find the correct part number. Can you point me in the right direction. Thanks, Steve
1 Answer Steve, A complete model number would solve the issue. However, based on the base model and a few similar units, it appears that the magnetron on most, if not all versions of that microwave has been substituted to WB27X10735. We're pretty confident this particular part will fit and operate properly in your unit as well. Thanks Read More...
Daron June 11, 2012 for Model Number JVM1660BB003 GE Profile microwave. Started making loud grinding/popping noise on occasion. About 2 months later it smoked. I found the magnetron with a burned up tip. The waveguide housing even had a burn mark on the outside above the tip. Before I spend $100 to replace the magnetron, what could have caused this? What else should I check, or is this how they fail? Thanks.
1 Answer Hi Daron. The magnetron/stirrer kit part # WB49X10226 is an upgraded kit. When replacing the magnetron, carefully look at the frame area surrounding the tip especially. If you find any bare unpainted nicks or missing paint then use microwave touch up paint part # TJ98QBP0301. It is good to check the diode part # WB27X1160 and the capacitor part # WB27X10240 as they are directly in the circuit as well. Use a volt/ohm meter part # MA-DM1 to assist you in your diagnostics. Thank You. Read More...
Tim January 25, 2012 for Model Number GE JVM1650BB 001 I recently purchased this kit and after installing it, the unit appears to overheat in 2-3 minutes, completely loses power and after 15-30 minutes will finally power itself back up. Any ideas on what is going on?
1 Answer Hi Tim. While replacing the magnetron did you reuse the magnetron thermostat that was mounted on the side of the magnetron ? Remove the upper grill and the upper control panel cover. Then remove the control panel upper screw. Lift up and out on the control assy. Mark and remove the wires and carefully lay aside. Then look at the fan electrical connections to see if they are unhooked or loose. This will overheat parts. Have you installed the upper stirrer blade correctly w/cHi Tim.

I have known of slow blow fuses part # WB27X10928 about to go completely out then reattaching themselves. On the inside top to the lt. side there is a gas sensor that will monitor cavity issues and shut down the board like a black out also. It is part # WB27X1170. Thank You.over not hitting or dragging ?

Eoanna December 12, 2011 for Model Number JVM1660SB SN:GV914353S Microwave is not heating up, all other parts seem to be working. What can I replace to try and repair this?
1 Answer Hello Eoanna. Based on the information you provided, you will need to test the diode WB27X1160 and magnetron WB49X10226. The diode should only read on a meter in one direction, and the magnetron should only read less than 1 ohm. You can test this with a multi-meter TJMA-DMT3. Here is a link on how to use a multi-meter. Hope this helps. http://forum.appliancepartspros.com/oven-repair-including-ranges-cooktops/4810-how-check-continuity-ohmmeter.html Read More...
Jg October 31, 2011 for Model Number GE 1650/1642 AP4564705 Is there a warranty on this mag? I have to GE 1600's that have each had the mag replaced along with the stirrer. One was replaced about 5 years ago and had been in service since. Its twin was replaced about 1 year afterwards, tested good and sat in storage. About 9 months ago the 1st one failed again so the backup was put into service. This one only lasted 9 months before failing. Apparently this design has some waveguide issues. New stir plates (new design) were installed on each. As mentioned, one didn't even last a year. Thanks.
1 Answer Hello Jg. No, the replacement magnetron WB49X10226 on a microwave does not carry the original 5 year warranty. Sorry. Read More...
Paul H. October 14, 2011 for Model Number JVM1660wb Just wondered if the Magnetron p/n AP4564705 is interchangeble with p/n AP2025937. Thank You.
1 Answer Hi Paul. No it is not recommended to interchange parts, especially a high voltage one. This kit part # WB49X10226 has more parts that will update your model so it is designed better. Thank You. Read More...
