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.
