Whirlpool W11238401 Microwave Transformer

The Whirlpool W11238401 is a transformer, which is an essential part of most microwave ovens. It is essential to the heating process of the microwave. Microwaves use magnetrons to generate the radio waves that cook food. But in order for magnetrons to work, a voltage far higher than that of regular home electricity is needed. This much greater level of incoming home voltage is achieved by the W11238401 transformer. Your microwave wouldn't be able to produce microwaves without a working transformer, which would cause the gadget to either ignite or not heat up at all. Replacing a broken transformer with the W11238401 guarantees that your microwave runs safely and efficiently, resulting in ideal cooking performance by allowing the magnetron to work properly.
