5304472454 - Electrolux Microwave Magnetron

This Electrolux Microwave Magnetron (5304472454) is a genuine part compatible with Electrolux and Frigidaire microwaves. The magnetron generates the microwave energy required for heating and cooking foods within the oven cavity. It employs a filament and high DC voltage to produce pulsed, high-power electromagnetic microwave radiation, which is channeled into the cooking chamber via a waveguide. Essential for rapid food molecule excitation and cooking, a malfunctioning magnetron, indicated by the complete absence of heating, necessitates a professional replacement. Common symptoms of a failing magnetron include the microwave turning on but not heating food and unusual noises during operation. Before considering a new magnetron, check the functionality of related components, such as the waveguide or high voltage diode, as they might also contribute to heating issues. Always verify your device's model number to ensure compatibility before making a purchase.
