{"product_id":"wb17x10002-microwave-transformer","title":"Microwave Transformer - WB17X10002","description":"\u003cp\u003eRestore the high-voltage power necessary for cooking with the Microwave High-Voltage Transformer (WB17X10002). This heavy-duty component is the heart of your microwave's heating system, converting standard household electrical current into the high voltage required by the magnetron to generate microwaves. If your microwave runs but fails to heat, or if you hear a loud buzzing or humming sound, a failing transformer is often the cause. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eEngineered with high-grade copper windings and a robust steel core, the WB17X10002 is built to handle intense electrical loads while maintaining stable power output. This OEM-quality part ensures your appliance operates at its original efficiency, providing consistent heating performance for years to come. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eInstallation \/ Replacement Instructions: \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e1. Safety Warning: Microwaves contain high-voltage capacitors that can hold a lethal electrical charge even when unplugged. Always discharge the capacitor before touching internal components. \u003cbr\u003e2. Power Down: Unplug the microwave and remove the outer cabinet or casing. \u003cbr\u003e3. Locate the Transformer: The transformer is a large, heavy metal component usually located near the base of the microwave. \u003cbr\u003e4. Note the Wiring: Carefully label or photograph the wire connections attached to the transformer terminals. \u003cbr\u003e5. Remove the Faulty Part: Unscrew the mounting bolts securing the transformer to the microwave floor and disconnect all wiring. \u003cbr\u003e6. Install the New Unit: Secure the new WB17X10002 transformer with the mounting bolts, reconnect the wires exactly as they were, and reassemble the cabinet. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eCompatible with select GE (General Electric), Hotpoint, and Kenmore microwave models, this genuine replacement part ensures safe and powerful cooking performance. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eKey Features: \u003cbr\u003e• Microwave High-Voltage Transformer – part number WB17X10002 \u003cbr\u003e• Converts electrical current to high voltage for the magnetron \u003cbr\u003e• Restores heating functionality to non-working microwaves \u003cbr\u003e• Heavy-duty construction for reliable, long-term power delivery \u003cbr\u003e• Compatible with select GE and Hotpoint microwave ovens \u003cbr\u003e• OEM-quality component for maximum safety and performance\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"GE","offers":[{"title":"_BDM_DEFAULT_OPTION_VALUE_","offer_id":44268500353232,"sku":"WB17X10002","price":158.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0642\/4258\/1712\/files\/WB17X10002_R01_C01.jpg?v=1748011215","url":"https:\/\/applianceparts.com\/products\/wb17x10002-microwave-transformer","provider":"appliancepartstore","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
