WB27X10880 - GE Microwave Magnetron

This GE Microwave Magnetron (WB27X10880) is a genuine part designed specifically for GE microwaves. Also known as a microwave oven's heart, the magnetron generates the microwave energy that heats and cooks your food by using a filament and high DC voltage to produce pulsed, high-power electromagnetic microwave radiation. A waveguide directs these emissions into the cooking chamber, allowing for the rapid excitation of food molecules that facilitates cooking. If your microwave stops heating entirely, it's a telling sign that the magnetron might be burnt-out or defective and requires professional replacement. Before purchasing, double check your device's model number to ensure compatibility.
