Description

The Waveguide is an OEM component for Whirlpool microwaves. Located inside the metal cooking cavity, this metal channel structure directs high-frequency radio waves from the magnetron tube evenly around food for rapid, volumetric heating.

Causes of a bad waveguide can include corrosion or scale inhibiting conduction over time, or openings allowing leakage of precious waves.

Symptoms of a bad waveguide include:  

• Cold or warm spots within foods as microwaves scatter  
• Slowed or uneven cooking times despite full power setting
• Smelly odor and component overheating due to arcing

Essential for maximizing microwave efficiency, replace now with this OEM waveguide for dependable performance. Fits Whirlpool-made for brands including KitchenAid, Roper, and Amana.
