GE Microwave Oven Magnetron and Diode Kit OM75P (10) Part # WB27X10017

This worked PERFECTLY. We were faced with the decision to discard what has been a faithful and reliable GE XL1400 and buy an ugly new microwave, when I started researching repairs. Rather than spending $300 on a new one, this economical part took less than 30 minutes to CAREFULLY and safely replace. Our old friend now heats and cooks like the 25 year old microwave it was. Thank you!

Bad ass

This part worked perfectly to replace a faulty magnetron OM75P inside a GE Spacesaver XL from 2004, using part # WB27X10017. The microwave worked fine except would not heat anything, which meant i could test the fuses behind the control panel with a multimeter and then narrowed it down to the magnetron without actually disassembling the microwave to test the magnetron directly. A couple of notes from my repair experience - there are lots of great how-to videos out there showing the basic steps, and be sure you have an extra person to help control the weight as you lower it down if its mounted above the stove - the weight is not super heavy but it can be awkward to hold it up with just one person. Also, dont skip the step to discharge the capacitor safely before you do anything else inside the microwave cabinet. Depending on your microwave model you will probably have to loosen/remove a couple of plastic or metal shielding parts to make it easier to remove the old magnetron and then insert the new one, otherwise you'll be yanking and shoving it out of and back into a tight spot - dont fight it, just move the other parts to make it easy on yourself. The last tip is that your old magnetron might still test okay using a multimeter but that is probably a false positive - that's what happened to me - both the old and new magnetron had the same continuity test results at every setting on the multimeter, but obviously the old one wasnt working and the microwave was back to normal when the new one was installed. In my opinion, replacing this $65 part was a better option than spending $250-300 for a comparable new microwave. Good luck!

Fit perfectly and works better than the original!

It works

I purchased this magnetron for our GE microwave hoping it would save me the time and effort of finding a replacement that fit my kitchen.I read some reviews were it failed or did not work so I waited for this review. I purchased this magnetron on 7/6/2024 and it has been working flawlessly. I would recommend this product as a replacement should you have the same non-heating issue I had with my microwave.

I replaced the magnetron 3 years ago and it just failed. Bought another one from the same seller and replaced the magnetron and diode. The microwave is 16 years old and works again.You can tell that the magnetron is bad from the discoloration around the yellow/gold part.

Update...8/8/2024 My microwave worked for 2.5 days after the install of this magnatron, then started making some different hum noise. I opened the microwave door and smoke came out from the vent holes inside. Did not heat food again after that. The magnetron definitely died again, whether something caused it to die, or the shipping caused it damage, I can't say for certain, but the whole experience was a waste of time and money, and ended up going to the dump.My GE microwave, started not heating a few days ago. Microwave would turn on, light, turntable, all worked but no matter how long I ran it, it would not heat food. Looked up online and common issue seems to be the magnetron. Found out this is the part for my model, jvm3670sf001. Wasn't terribly difficult to replace, though you do have to dismantle microwave side, top, bottom and back panel to get access. Replaced unit, and tried out last night, now my food gets warm again, so all seems okay.My subpar review is more a reflection on the shipping processes that Amazon uses. I am sick and tired of delicate electronics being shipped by Amazon in a plastic or paper sack. I've had halogen headlights for my truck shipped in a plastic sack and this magnetron was given the same lack of thought shipping as well, in a paper bag. The tip is dented due to the lack of protection, how that will affect the life or quality of the product at this point is not known to me but replacing this part is not rocket science but is a bit involved with having to get help getting the unit off the wall/cabinet, dismantle it, 2 days shipping and ops check with reassembly and help to install again.On the same note, I can get a box that is 10 times too big to ship a pack of rubber washers for my garden hose, or double a batteries but sensitive electronics, we're going to ship in a non protective sack.
