WB27X10880 General Electric Microwave Magnetron

Microwave Magnetron Overview

GE's product lineup includes brands such as Hotpoint, General Electric, and Sears-Kenmore. The GE magnetron serves as a standard OEM replacement part essential for producing the microwaves that heat and cook food. Typically positioned behind the microwave's control panel and linked to the waveguide, the magnetron generates high-frequency microwaves. These microwaves are then evenly dispersed across the cooking chamber, where they stimulate water molecules in the food, leading to rapid and uniform cooking.

This component is compatible with appliances from Hotpoint, RCA, and Kenmore/Sears.

Common Issues Addressed by Replacing the Magnetron:

- Food not heating or heating unevenly
- Humming or buzzing sounds during operation
- Microwave tripping circuit breakers
