Toshiba 2M240H Genuine Magnetron For Whirlpool, Indesit and Hotpoint Ovens

Magnetron type 2M240H for microwave ovens. This Toshiba magnetron is a suitable replacement type for many brands of oven.

This particular magnetron is classed as in line version which means that the mounting lugs are in line with the airflow through the cooling vents. This is a common mounting arrangement in many ovens.

The magnetron in question is a high quality type manufactured by Toshiba. It does not have to be used in a Toshiba oven.

This magnetron is often found in Whirlpool, Hotpoint, Indesit, Brandt and Bauknecht models.

The Hotpoint part number is: C00320892

The Whirlpool part number is: 481913158021

The Whirlpool model compatibility list is:

AVM600, AVM611, AVM626, AVM700, AVM708, AVM730, AVM764, AVM900

If your defective magnetron is an inline version then this magnetron should fit. Have a close look at the photographs and the mounting lugs to determine this. Many of the microwaves fitted to modern fitted kitchens use an inline magnetron like this.

As an example we have used this magnetron to replace the original type used in Sharp and Whirlpool models. It is also used in many of the imported ovens available just now. Basically as long as the magnetron looks the same as your original it will work. Please refer to the photographs.

The magnetron specifications are as follows:

• Magnetron type supplied: 2M240H(P)
• Manufactured by: Toshiba
• Fixing centres: 36mm x 112mm
• Mounting lug size: 12mm x 16mm
• Nominal power rating 850W
• Operational frequency: 2455MHz

As mentioned previously this magnetron can be fitted to any brand of oven with a defective magnetron that looks like this one. Check the air flow direction and orientation of the lugs before ordering. You can fit this magnetron to any oven with a power rating up to around 1000W. The nominal power level of this magnetron is 850W but it is common practice by manufacturers to operate a magnetron at the upper end or slightly higher end of its specification. In practice this is not an issue as microwave ovens are most commonly used for short periods of time.

If you purchase this item for replacement in your microwave then we recommend that you do this only if you are qualified and aware of the dangers of tampering with electrical equipment.
