Function & Importance

The microwave magnetron is the heart of your microwave oven. It generates the high-frequency electromagnetic waves that heat and cook food efficiently. When the magnetron is operating correctly, your microwave heats evenly and reaches the correct temperature quickly. A faulty magnetron will prevent the appliance from heating, even though lights, fans, and turntables may still function. Replacing the magnetron is essential for restoring full cooking performance and avoiding unnecessary appliance replacement.

Common Symptoms Indicating Replacement

You may need to replace the W10818686 magnetron if you experience:

• Microwave runs but does not heat food

• Food takes much longer than normal to warm

• Unusual buzzing or humming noises during operation

• Burning smell while microwave is running

• Unit powers on but fails to cook evenly

• Repeated blown fuses or thermal cutoffs

These symptoms often indicate a failing microwave heating component and should be addressed promptly.
