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

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!

GE microwave stopped working, so it was either replace the magnetron or buy a new one. Since a new microwave was hundreds of dollars and the magnetron/diode combo was $70 it was worth the effort. I installed the microwave 12 years ago so I knew how to take it down, but I didn't realize is there are a lot of screws to disassemble the microwave. Once the covers were off, replacing the magnetron wasn't too hard but it isn't for someone who isn't mechanically inclined. Also, the old magnetron had a upper limit temp thermostat and the new one didn't so I had to jumper the wires to the thermostat together (to simulate the unit wasn't overheating) before reassembly. That could throw a curveball to someone that isn't familiar with appliance repair. Once reassembled the unit worked perfectly, so in all I guess it was a win. Just a little more difficult than I expected.

My microwave is working again! I have an 11-year-old GE Monogram built-in ZMC1095 microwave. The cabinet was custom made to fit this oven, so I really wanted to fix it rather than spend $400 for a new built-in that wouldn't fit as well. Everything appeared to work fine on the microwave except that it didn't create heat. After sleuthing around on the internet and watching some You Tube videos, I decided to attempt a repair. I first bought a $50 magnetron from another site, but it caused a loud buzzing noise when I installed it. I think it was not compatible with my model of microwave despite having the same part number. This magnetron worked perfectly. Installation was not at all difficult, but of course I was worried about electrocuting myself with all the warnings about the capacitor containing high voltage. I discharged the capacitor with a pair of pliers with insulated handles as shown on some of the videos, but also I wore gloves and tried not to touch anything except with tools with insulated handles, just in case. I figure I saved at least $300 and I have the satisfaction of knowing that I fixed it myself. My husband is happy too!

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!

Solved the problem of microwave won't heat food. Microwave has symptom of the light is on, the turn table rotates, just won't hear food. Need two persons to move microwave down. It is heavy. There are many screws to remove. Mark and remember where those screws are. The old magnetron has two strong magnets. You can take them out, and keep them in toolbox for future projects. The entire replacement including mounting will likely take about an hour or two if this is the first time. It would a good time to clean the exhaust vent area as you have it opened. Update 2024: The replacement lasts about two years, which says the quality of the part may not be the same quality as original. Further, my second order was poorly packaged with just bubble wrap, and does not come with diode.

Virtually identical to the OEM installed unit. Fits perfectly...works the same but pricing substantially better. The plastic shroud around my OEM unit was a bit of a pain to deal with and served the same troublesome role when re-installing the replacement unit. I took numerous before-hand pictures with my phone to duplicate the exact reinstall position...after 10 minutes of fidgeting the replacement unit snap into place perfectly. My original diode tested-out OK but since this purchase came with a brand new diode that also looked identical, I replaced the diode as well...a very easy chore since you have the sides of the unit off already. Besides taking pictures I suggest you label each side you remove with some tape and use a contrasting permanent marker to note all the holes you removed screws from. I stored each side's screws in separate cups matching the side label....there are a lot of holes that remain unfilled so you need to know exactly which holes to fill and which holes to leave empty plus the screws are different on every side and I wanted to make sure I put the correct screws back in the correct holes....this labeling and storing process by specific side helped me achieve this.

This magnetron was the perfect replacement for the one in my 15 year old GE Profile microwave oven. My oven is a 36" wide model and there are no replacements for this oven available in bisque. Thus, I was forced to find an alternative solution to replacing the oven. I am fairly adept at handyman type repairs and with the aid of YouTube had this microwave back up and operating in an hour. This is the second time I have replaced this magnetron so the average 7 year lifespan of the tube seems to be about right. The installation was a little sketchy because of the design of the oven but taking out about 2 more screws than I wanted to made it go in much more easily. Re-assembly was straightforward and I'm good for another 7 years. Or until we remodel with a different color... :-( By the way, a local appliance company advised me that there are basically 2 manufacturers of microwaves in the whole world (Asia) and they all use mostly the same parts. This made me more confident that the part would fit since it looked so similar to the existing one. Thankfully, this one fit exactly giving some credence to his statement.

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.

It worked perfect for us and didn’t wait to long for the part to come to are door

Très bien

Fast shipping great service and great quality part.
