2M286-21TBGH Magnetron 2m246 21GT, EAS61382907 Microwave Magnetron Tube Magnetron Replacement, Compatible for GE Magnetron 2M286-21TAGWB27X32766, WB27X26080, WB27X10865 LG EAS42812919

I received an ordered magnetron that did not work and a replacement was quickly delivered by the seller that functions. I had two identical microwaves for which the magnetrons failed after about 4 years and successively replaced both. This was for the second microwave. I had no difficulty with the first. The second one ordered may have been mounted before/returned as it showed evidence of mounting screw abrasions. Looking at the 5 magnetron units encountered, 2 functioning and 3 non-functioning, I found that the measurement of resistance across the terminals (always negative electrode to F and positive to FA) was not as clear an indicator of function as stated by the seller. The difference was much more subtle. Of the 4 carefully examined, each started at about 280 ohms, instantly dropped to about 12 ohms, and over seconds dropped to 0.2 or 0.1 ohms. The functioning ones dropped to 0.1 ohms whereas the bad ones dropped to 0.2 ohms. The rate of conductivity increase appeared similar between the good and bad but was not quantitated. I am left somewhat confounded as to the failures given the subtlety.

Works like the microwave is new again. This was for a now discontinued LG model that I really liked the looks of compared to the newer models. The microwave sits in a built in cabinet so for me, it’s easier to replace parts than to search for on new microwave to fit the cabinet dimensions. I would buy again if needed.

Working fine so far. Only complaint is that it looked used. It could have been refurbished, but it advertised as new.

This part has already been used and is not working now. Do you even check what you sell? I will have to request a refund and order from another place.

Needed to fix the microwave , problem solved

Well, not much to say, except was an easy buy with no hassle. You will informed at each stage from the moment you buy it till it get to you place. The rest is history, fitted to the faulty microwave and that's it.Well done amazon

Got a really nice expensive LG that was barely out of warranty when the magnetron fried. Wasn't going to spend a lot of money repairing when I found this one that matched all the numbers of the original. Everything matched as far as mounting too. Installed it and although it's only been 3 weeks, seems to be working perfectly.

So far so good
