WB27X11191 - GE Microwave Magnetron

This GE microwave magnetron (WB27X11191) is a genuine part, compatible with GE brand appliances. Often referred to simply as "magnetron," this component generates the microwave energy that heats and cooks food inside your oven cavity. It employs a filament and high DC voltage to produce pulsed, high-power electromagnetic microwave radiation, which is then directed into the cooking chamber through a waveguide. When magnetrons become burnt-out or defective, they disable all heating capabilities within the microwave, necessitating a professional replacement. Symptoms indicating the need for replacement include a microwave that turns on but does not heat or cook food. Before purchasing, double-check your device's model number to ensure compatibility.
