WB27X25625 - GE Microwave Capacitor

This Microwave Capacitor (WB27X25625) is a genuine part specifically designed for GE microwave ovens. It functions as a critical component in the generation and control of high voltage necessary for the microwave's efficient operation. Commonly, this part is also known as a high-voltage capacitor or H.V. capacitor.

When your microwave is activated, the power supply directs electricity to this capacitor, which stores the electrical energy until it achieves a certain voltage level. Once this level is reached, the stored energy is suddenly discharged to the microwave's magnetron, enabling it to emit microwave radiation. This process leads to the generation of microwaves that cook food by causing the molecules to vibrate and produce heat. Given the capacitor's role in energy storage and discharge, symptoms of its failure include the microwave not starting, not heating correctly, or making unusual noises.

Before purchasing, please check your microwave's model number to ensure compatibility with this part.
