Description

This magnetron generates the microwave energy that heats food in a microwave oven. Replacing a failed magnetron restores normal cooking power and stops weak or no-heat performance. What it does:

• Converts high-voltage power into microwave radiation to heat food
• Restores full heating when poor or no heating is caused by a failed magnetron
• Addresses symptoms such as weak heating, no heating, or unusual humming/buzzing during operation
• Not a control board or transformer—this part is the microwave source component

What's included:

• One magnetron (single unit)

Install notes:

• Disconnect power before servicing; microwave high-voltage components can hold a dangerous charge
• Handle the antenna/ceramic output carefully to avoid damage; inspect seals and waveguide components during replacement
• After installation, verify proper operation and safety features before normal use
