WPDE67-00213A - Whirlpool Microwave Coupler

This WPDE67-00213A Microwave Coupler (WPDE67-00213A) is a genuine part manufactured by Whirlpool for use in their microwave ovens. It's responsible for connecting the microwave's magnetron energy source to the feed ports that launch microwave energy into the cooking cavity. Typically, an antenna-type probe extends into the waveguide to facilitate this coupling. A clean and tight connection is essential to prevent any leakage or loss of microwave energy, ensuring that the microwave operates with optimal heating efficiency. The coupler's critical role in transferring microwave power from the source to the cooking chamber improves overall cooking performance.

Symptoms that may indicate the need for a replacement include reduced heating efficiency in your microwave or inconsistencies in cooking performance. This might be due to a defective or loose coupler compromising the transmission of microwave energy.

Before making your purchase, double-check the model number of your microwave to ensure compatibility with this Whirlpool manufactured coupler. It's also known as a Microwave Glass Tray Drive Coupling, found under the glass cooking tray, helping it rotate during operation.
