WB20X10060 - GE Microwave Thermostat

This GE Microwave Thermostat (WB20X10060) is a genuine GE part designed for microwaves. It's compatible with GE brand microwaves and is crucial for ensuring that your appliance operates within safe temperatures. The thermostat measures internal air temperatures and regulates cooking power to prevent overheating or damage to other components. It works through bimetallic flexing contacts that open or close as the interior temperature of the microwave crosses set thresholds. While simple thermostats offer only overheat protection, this model can also dynamically control the magnetron's output during operation. If your microwave is failing to regulate temperature properly, overheating, or not heating consistently, it might be time to replace the thermostat. A correctly functioning thermostat is essential for the safe operation of your microwave, providing both thermal protection and regulation. Remember to check your device's model number to ensure compatibility before purchasing.
