WB26X32629 - GE Microwave Magnetron

This Microwave Magnetron (WB26X32629) is a genuine part specifically designed for GE microwave ovens. It is compatible with GE models, making it a perfect replacement piece for your appliance. Also known as the device's "heart," the magnetron generates microwave energy that heats and cooks food inside the oven cavity. By using a filament and high DC voltage to produce pulsed, high-power electromagnetic microwave radiation, it essentially enables rapid excitation of food molecules for cooking. A waveguide is then used to direct these emissions into the cooking chamber. If you notice that your microwave does not heat, cooks unevenly, or makes unusual noises, it might indicate that the magnetron is failing or completely burnt-out. Given the high-voltage components involved, replacement by a professional is recommended for safety.

Before making your purchase, it's important to check your device's model number to ensure compatibility with this part.
