Yes and no but really they don't but some people think that they do just because of how the microwave cooks foods and other things but no it does not have magnets

Yes - a microwave oven has a magnet - that is why the generating tube is called a magnetron- it has a ceramic magnet that surrounds the anode block and forces the electrons emitted from the cathode to travel in a circle past the tuned cavities in the anode block, thereby creating the microwaves that are drawn off by an antenna and brought into the oven's cooking chamber - the cavity.

How do magnets work in microwaves?

Magnets in microwaves are used to control the movement of the electrons in the magnetron to generate microwave radiation. The microwave radiation produced by the magnetron is then directed into the cooking cavity to heat up food by exciting the water molecules inside it. This process allows for efficient and even heating of food in a microwave oven.
