Magnetron Parts

Magnetron assembly that produces the microwave energy used to heat food. Replacing a failed magnetron restores heating performance so the oven can warm and cook food properly. What it does

• Generates the microwave energy that heats food; a failed magnetron typically causes little or no heating.
• Can produce loud humming or buzzing if failing.
• May cause sparking/arcing inside the cavity or a burning/odd smell when faulty.
• A bad magnetron can lead to blown fuses or tripped safety devices.

• High-voltage component — unplug the appliance before service. The high-voltage capacitor can retain dangerous charge; do not touch terminals.
• Recommended for installation by someone experienced with microwave high-voltage systems.
• Ensure all panels and covers are reinstalled before powering on.

This motor start/run capacitor helps the compressor and fan motors start and run reliably, restoring normal cooling performance when a failing capacitor causes hard starts or intermittent motor operation. A direct-replacement component for affected units. What it does:

• Provides the electrical phase shift and stored energy needed for compressor and fan motor startup.
• Helps prevent slow starts, humming, or motors that won't start reliably.
• Restores stable motor operation and can reduce overheating or tripping caused by a weak capacitor.
• Works as a replacement for the same OEM-design capacitor in compatible refrigerators and freezers.

• One replacement capacitor (single unit)

• Disconnect power to the appliance before inspecting or replacing the capacitor to avoid shock.
• Verify capacitor is fully discharged before handling; use insulated tools and follow safety procedures.
• Match the capacitor's mounting and terminal type to the existing part for correct fit and connection.

This magnetron generates the microwave energy that cooks food inside a microwave oven, restoring heating performance when the original tube fails. Replaces a failed magnetron to return proper cooking and reheating. What it does:

• Converts electrical power into microwave energy used to heat food.
• Restores normal cooking when the oven no longer heats or has weak heating.
• Resolves loud humming, sparking, or intermittent heating caused by a failing tube.
• Works with the oven's high-voltage circuitry and waveguide to distribute energy into the cavity.

• Disconnect power and unplug the appliance before service; high-voltage components can retain a dangerous charge.
• Discharge the high-voltage capacitor before touching the magnetron or associated wiring.
• Inspect and replace any damaged waveguide covers or mounting hardware for safe operation.

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:

• Converts high-voltage electrical energy into microwave radiation that heats food
• Common symptom: microwave runs but does not heat
• Also be needed if you notice humming, arcing, or a burning electrical smell during operation
• Works with the oven's high-voltage system and waveguide to deliver cooking power

• Disconnect power before servicing; microwave high-voltage components can retain lethal charge
• Discharge the high-voltage capacitor and follow safety procedures
• Inspect waveguide cover and surrounding components for damage when replacing the magnetron

This magnetron generates microwave energy to heat food in compatible countertop and over-the-range microwaves. Replacing a worn magnetron restores cooking power and helps eliminate uneven heating or failure to heat. What it does:

• Converts high-voltage electrical power into microwave radiation used to cook and reheat food
• Common symptom: oven runs but food doesn't heat or heats very slowly
• May also be needed if you notice loud buzzing, arcing, or burning odors during operation
• Works with the microwave's high-voltage system; other components may also need inspection

• One magnetron (single unit as shown)

• Disconnect power and discharge the microwave's high-voltage capacitor before servicing
• Inspect surrounding parts (waveguide, diode, capacitor, and cooling fan) for damage during replacement
• Use only the correct replacement part number to ensure proper fit and safe operation

This magnetron generates the microwave energy that heats and cooks food in a microwave oven. Replacing a failed magnetron restores heating performance so your microwave can again cook and reheat reliably. What it does

• Converts high-voltage electrical energy into microwave radiation used to heat food
• Common symptom: microwave runs but does not heat or heats weakly
• A failed magnetron can trip fuses or circuit breakers inside the oven

• Disconnect power and verify the appliance is unplugged before service
• High-voltage components (magnetron, capacitor, transformer) can hold lethal charge — discharge the capacitor and follow safety procedures
• Use proper replacement hardware and gasketing as required; secure mounting and shielding per OEM instructions

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.

This TH capacitor is an electrical control-circuit capacitor used on compatible Bosch appliances to help stabilize voltage and filter electrical noise for reliable control-board operation. Replacing a failed capacitor can address intermittent control issues. What it does

• Stabilizes control-board voltage and helps filter electrical noise that can cause erratic behavior.
• Supports reliable startup and operation of control circuits.
• Common symptom link: intermittent or unexplained control-board errors, erratic or non-responsive controls.
• Common symptom link: appliance displays control or error codes related to electronics or intermittently fails to start.
