WB24X26785 - GE Microwave Thermostat

This GE Microwave Thermostat (WB24X26785) is a genuine part crafted specifically for GE microwaves, ensuring a perfect fit and reliable operation. This thermostat measures internal air temperatures within the microwave to regulate cooking power, effectively preventing overheating or potential damage to internal components. It operates through bimetallic flexing contacts that open or close as temperatures cross certain thresholds. While simple thermostats are designed for overheat protection only, this smart thermostat dynamically controls magnetron outputs during the cooking process to ensure optimal performance. If your microwave shows signs of inconsistent cooking temperatures, failure to start, or overheating, it may indicate that the thermostat is defective and needs replacement. Before purchasing, double-check your microwave's model number to ensure compatibility with the WB24X26785 thermostat.
