WB06X10420 - GE Microwave Coupler

This Microwave Coupler (WB06X10420) is a genuine part manufactured by GE specifically for use in microwaves. Compatible with GE microwaves, this component ensures a seamless connection between the turntable motor and the turntable tray, enabling it to rotate efficiently. Also known as a "turntable motor coupler," it plays a crucial role in distributing the microwave energy evenly across the cooking cavity. Microwave waveguide couplers like this one connect the magnetron, which is the microwave energy source, to the feed ports that launch energy into the cooking chamber. It typically features an antenna-type probe that extends into the waveguide to couple emissions securely. A vital function of this part is to ensure that the connection between the microwave’s power source and its cooking chamber is tight and clean, preventing leakage and loss of energy. If you notice symptoms such as the turntable not turning or inconsistently rotating, these could be indications that the coupler is defective or loosely connected, and thus not transferring microwave power efficiently from source to cooking chamber. In such cases, a replacement is necessary to maintain optimal heating efficiency. Before making a purchase, it's crucial to verify your device's model number to ensure compatibility with this part.
