Manufacturer Part Number: WB27X1127

This thermostat is a temperature-sensing safety switch used in microwave ovens. It monitors heat and opens the circuit during an over-temperature condition to protect internal components and help prevent damage. What it does:

  • Monitors temperature at a specific location inside the microwave
  • Interrupts power if overheating is detected to protect components
  • Helps safeguard the magnetron and wiring from thermal damage
  • Presents as: shuts off mid-cycle, won't restart until cooled, no power, or runs but doesn't heat
What's included:
  • 1 thermostat
Install notes:
  • Disconnect power before service; microwaves contain a high-voltage capacitor that can hold a dangerous charge—discharge it properly
  • Note wire locations and transfer connections one at a time to the new thermostat
  • Mount in the original location with firm, flush contact to the surface for accurate sensing
  • Reinstall all covers and safety shields before restoring power and testing

Questions & Answers

For Ge Thermostat (Microwave) (Part Number: OEM6079065)

1 Answer

Hello Andrzej. You most likely have a "high voltage" side malfunction. Transformer, diode, magnetron, Capacitor. You will need to be extremely careful if you decide to test the components with a multi meter, Very high residual voltage is present, so make sure you remove power to the microwave and short across the terminals on the capacitor. The magnetron should have a reading of less than 1 ohm resistance across the two terminals, and an "open" circuit between each terminal and chassis ground. The diode/rectifier should have a resistance reading in one direction only, no resistance, or resistance in both directions indicate a faulty diode. The primary winding on the trans former should read approximately 450 Ohms resistance, the secondary winding should read 80 ohms resistance, and the filament transformer should read 100 ohms resistance. If all the readings are proper and in range, replace the magnetron.

Matthew, This model does not have a humidity sensor in it. The control board on this unit would have been used for several other units of which some may have had the sensor. Since this does not have a sensor then that means the board is faulty and would need to be replaced. The board part number is WB27X10376 but unfortunately has been discontinued with no suitable replacement available.

Bo, When you cook larger articles do they cook evenly and properly especially around the edges ? Since it does cook, it shouldn't be a power or magnetron issue. You may want to remove the cover in the cavity ceiling and check the stirrer blade WB06X10416. If they become stuck or wont rotate properly they can produce a concentrated beam and could cause articles to overheat in the center of the turn table.

Jeraldten, To gain access to the thermal fuse, you will need to remove the unit from installation. Once down you will remove the vent grill by removing 3 screws on top the unit. Then you will need remove the screws around the back of the unit and then you would need to lift the cabinet cover off and this will give you access to all of the internal components for testing.

Hello Gregory. Check for bad connections and also the ribbon cable on the unit. Another thing to check is the vent fan. It should pull the steam from the cavity when the unit is running.

Hello Chris. The thermostats should read closed. You will need to remove the outer cover to access and test them. Also, test the thermal fuse WB27X10928. It sounds like the fuse is bad and is causing the problem with the unit. Hope this helps.
