Microwave Magnetron

The Magnetron is an OEM part for LG microwaves. As the primary cooking mechanism, it generates microwave energy to heat and cook foods quickly.

Causes can be from normal wear and tear over years of use. Damage may also occur if the microwave interior is exposed to moisture, spills or debris.

Symptoms of a faulty magnetron include:

• Slow or ineffective cooking
• Hot or cold spots in cooked foods
• Buzzing or humming noises emanating from inside the microwave

This OEM LG part is also compatible with some Kenmore models.

The Magnetron is an OEM part for Whirlpool microwaves. This part generates the microwave energy necessary for cooking and heating food.

Causes of a bad Magnetron can include normal wear and tear over time, power surges or electrical issues, or physical damage from impact or mishandling.

Symptoms of a bad Magnetron include:

• The microwave not heating or cooking food properly
• Arcing or sparking inside the microwave cavity
• Strange noises or buzzing sounds during operation
• Burning smells or smoke coming from the microwave

This OEM Whirlpool part is also compatible with Maytag, KitchenAid, Jenn-Air, Amana, Magic Chef, Admiral, Norge, Roper and some Kenmore models.

The Magnetron is an OEM part for GE microwaves. It is the component responsible for generating the microwave energy that cooks food. The magnetron converts electrical energy into microwave radiation, which heats and cooks the food evenly.

Over time, the magnetron can fail due to wear and tear, electrical issues, or overheating. Causes of a bad magnetron include electrical surges, prolonged usage without proper cooling, or physical damage from impacts or mishandling.

Symptoms of a bad magnetron include:

• The microwave not heating food
• Unusual buzzing or humming noises
• Burning smell during operation
• The microwave shutting off abruptly or not starting

This GE replacement part is also compatible with Hotpoint, RCA, and some Kenmore models.

The Magnetron is an OEM part for GE microwaves. The magnetron converts electrical energy into microwave radiation, which heats and cooks the food placed inside the microwave oven.

Over time, the magnetron can wear out or fail due to regular use, electrical surges, or overheating. A malfunctioning magnetron can lead to the microwave not heating properly, reducing its overall functionality and efficiency.

Symptoms of a bad magnetron include:

• The microwave not heating food at all
• Unusual noises such as buzzing or humming during operation
• A burning smell or visible damage inside the microwave
• The microwave turning on but failing to heat

This OEM GE part is also compatible with Hotpoint, RCA, and some Kenmore models.

The Magnatron is an OEM part for Frigidaire microwaves. It is the principal electronic component responsible for converting electrical energy into microwave radiation, allowing for fast and efficient cooking or heating of food.

Causes can be related to normal component fatigue over extended use. High voltage magnetron coils are also susceptible to power fluctuations or surges over time.

Symptoms of a faulty magnatron include:

• Inability of the microwave to transmit energy and heat foods
• Slow or ineffective cooking times
• Oven light working but no microwave output
• Overheating, arcing or burning smells from the unit

This OEM Frigidaire part is also compatible with Electrolux, Gibson, Kelvinator and some Kenmore models.

This microwave magnetron generates the energy that heats food in the oven cavity. Replacing a failed magnetron often restores normal heating.

• Produces microwave energy to heat food inside the cavity
• Typical failure symptom: microwave runs but does not heat
• Can cause loud humming or buzzing during operation
• May trip a breaker or blow a fuse at the start of a cook cycle

• Disconnect power before servicing; for built-in/OTR units, switch off the circuit breaker.
• The high-voltage capacitor can retain a dangerous charge—discharge it using the proper service procedure.
• Handle the ceramic antenna/insulator carefully and avoid overtightening mounting screws.
• Reinstall airflow shrouds/ducts and transfer any reusable brackets or thermal devices from the original part as required.

This is the high-voltage magnetron for a microwave oven. It generates the microwave energy that heats food; replacing a weak or failed magnetron can restore normal cooking performance and resolve "runs but no heat" complaints.

• Generates the RF energy that cooks and heats inside the microwave cavity
• Common fix when the microwave runs but does not heat
• Symptoms can include unusually loud humming/buzzing during operation
• Helps with intermittent heating or a burnt odor from a failing tube

• Disconnect power and safely discharge the high-voltage capacitor before servicing
• Note wire locations; transfer any shielding, brackets, or insulators from the original as required
• Mount securely and ensure correct orientation for proper cooling airflow
• After reassembly, test heating with a cup of water

This magnetron assembly generates the microwave energy that heats food. Replace a weak or failed unit to restore proper cooking performance and resolve no-heat complaints when the microwave appears to run but no longer warms items. What it does:

• Converts high-voltage power into microwave energy to heat food inside the oven cavity
• Failure can cause: microwave runs but won't heat or takes much longer to heat
• Often accompanied by a loud humming/buzzing during cook
• May trip the internal fuse/breaker or shut off shortly after start
• Visible damage to the magnetron antenna cap or signs of arcing near the waveguide can point to failure

• 1 magnetron assembly

• Unplug the microwave and safely discharge the high-voltage capacitor before servicing
• Remove the outer cover to access the magnetron; note wire locations and orientation
• Transfer any required mounting hardware/shields from the old part; avoid touching or damaging the ceramic insulators or antenna cap
• Reassemble completely and test heating with a cup of water—never operate the unit empty

• No-heat issues can also be caused by a failed high-voltage diode, capacitor, transformer, or door switches; diagnose where safe before replacing

A replacement magnetron assembly that generates the microwave energy used for cooking and reheating. Installs in countertop and over-the-range microwave ovens to restore normal heating performance when the magnetron fails. What it does:

• Produces high-frequency microwave energy that heats food inside the oven cavity.
• Commonly replaces a unit when the microwave stops heating or heats very weakly.
• Can address symptoms like no/poor heating, intermittent heating, or loud humming from the oven during operation.
• Not a control or capacitor—this part is the microwave-generating tube and works with the oven's HV system.

• Always disconnect power and unplug the appliance before starting service.
• The high-voltage capacitor can retain a dangerous charge; discharge properly.
• Handle the magnetron carefully; avoid touching terminals or the antenna.
• Follow OEM instructions and safety guidelines for reassembly and testing.

This is a magnetron that is used on microwave ovens. The purpose of the magnetron is to provide the microwaves that actually cook the foot inside of the microwave oven. Use caution when replacing this part. High-voltage capacitors in microwaves can retain a deadly amount of electrical charge, even when they are unplugged.If the microwave begins making a buzzing noise and doesn't heat food properly, this part will need to be replaced. Use extreme caution when working with this appliance. Unplug the unit first.This particular magnetron is compatible with microwave ovens that are manufactured by the General Electric, Hotpoint, and Maytag brands. This part is sold individually and is sourced directly from the manufacturer as a genuine OEM part.

The Magnetron is an OEM part for Frigidaire microwave ovens. Located behind the waveguide plate inside the microwave chamber, the magnetron generates electromagnetic waves to cook and heat food. Powered by a high-voltage transformer, a magnetron coil focuses 2.45GHz radio waves through the waveguide into the cavity.

Causes of a bad magnetron can include failures of the cathode filament or insulator over extended use, depletion of filament or high voltage components.

Symptoms of a bad Magnetron include:

• Slow or incomplete cooking even on high power 
• Discolored or burnt spots on food
• No visible arcing yet cavity runs continuously
• Oversparking sounds or burning smells from chamber

This genuine OEM Frigidaire magnetron is compatible with Electrolux, Gibson and some Kenmore microwave models as well.
