WB26X114 - GE Microwave Magnetron

This GE Microwave Magnetron (WB26X114) is a genuine GE appliance part essential for your microwave's operation. Compatible exclusively with GE microwaves, it plays a critical role by generating the microwave energy necessary for cooking and heating food within the oven cavity. Utilizing a combination of a filament and high DC voltage, this magnetron emits pulsed, high-power electromagnetic waves. These microwaves are then directed into the cooking chamber via a waveguide, enabling the rapid excitation of food molecules which is essential for the cooking process. Symptoms that may indicate your magnetron is failing include the appliance ceasing to heat or cook food, an unusual buzzing sound during operation, or the presence of burnt smells without apparent cause, requiring its replacement. Before purchasing, verify your microwave's model number for compatibility.
