1080 W Air-Cooled Magnetron with Long Base Plate (Aluminum Construction) Key benefits Reliable, stable operation: The extended base plate improves mounting stability and reduces movement inside the microwave chassis, supporting consistent performance. Strong cooking performance: 1080 W output delivers efficient heating for everyday microwave tasks, restoring original cooking power when replacing a worn magnetron. Built to last: Precision-machined aluminum construction resists wear from regular use and supports long-term reliability. What this part does and why you need it Replaces a failing magnetron to recover full microwave power and even heating. Air-cooled design helps manage operating temperature during normal use, contributing to stable performance. Long base plate design aids secure installation and correct alignment, which reduces vibration and potential contact issues. Important specifications (as supplied) Power: 1080 W Cooling: Air-cooled Materials: Aluminum construction Design feature: Extended/long base plate for improved stability and mounting Compatibility and fit Intended as a direct replacement for microwave units that require a 1080 W air-cooled magnetron with a long base plate. Verify physical dimensions and connector type against your existing magnetron before ordering to ensure compatibility. Installation and safety Designed for straightforward replacement, but always follow safe procedures: Unplug the microwave and allow capacitors to discharge before working on the unit. Wear protective gloves to avoid cuts and accidental contact with sharp edges or electrical components. Ensure secure mounting of the long base plate and correct re-connection of high-voltage terminals. Practical use scenarios Home appliance repair: Replace a failing magnetron in a household microwave to restore proper heating and extend the oven’s usable life. Office or breakroom maintenance: Quick swap-out of a worn magnetron to minimize downtime and return kitchen appliances to full power. Small food-service or convenience stores: Use as a replacement part to maintain consistent cooking times and reliable operation in compact microwaves. What to check before purchase Confirm your microwave’s required magnetron power rating (1080 W) and that it uses an air-cooled magnetron with a long base plate. Compare connector types and mounting hole locations to ensure a correct fit.
