General Electric wb26k10013 Tangential Blower 45mm

Product Description

The General Electric wb26k10013 is a tangential blower designed for use in GE microwave ovens and similar countertop or over-the-range appliance configurations. Tangential blowers, also called cross-flow blowers, move air along the full length of the impeller wheel rather than through a centrifugal hub, making them well suited for the slim cavities found inside microwave and convection appliance housings. This part is a direct OEM replacement sourced from GE and is typically installed by appliance service technicians during ventilation or cooling circuit repairs.

This blower is sized at 45mm and is intended for residential microwave oven applications where the original tangential fan assembly has failed, become noisy, or lost airflow efficiency. It fits within the internal chassis of compatible GE appliances and restores proper air circulation across magnetron and internal electronics cooling paths. Installation is performed when a unit shows signs of overheating, reduced airflow, or abnormal fan noise during operation.

Key Features

• Tangential cross-flow design moves air evenly across the full impeller length
• 45mm form factor sized for compact appliance cavities
• OEM GE part ensures direct fitment without modification
• Replaces failed or degraded blower assemblies in microwave cooling circuits
• Restores proper airflow to magnetron and internal electronics

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement tangential blower for compatible GE microwave and countertop convection appliances. Refer to your appliance model number and GE parts documentation to confirm fitment before ordering.

Installation Notes

Appliance technicians should disconnect the unit from all power sources and allow capacitors to discharge fully before opening the appliance housing. The blower assembly is typically secured with mounting screws and connected via a wiring harness clip. Avoid handling the magnetron or high-voltage capacitor without proper discharge procedures. Follow applicable local appliance repair and electrical safety codes throughout the repair process.
