This replacement capacitor restores stable electrical timing and motor/run performance in compatible Whirlpool appliances. It helps the appliance start and run smoothly when the original capacitor has failed or weakened. What it does:

• Provides the stored charge needed for motor start/run circuits and control timing.
• Helps prevent motor hum, slow starts, or failure to start when the capacitor is failing.
• Reduces erratic cycling or intermittent operation caused by a weak capacitor.
• Supports reliable operation of blower, fan or small motor circuits that rely on a dedicated capacitor.

• Disconnect power to the appliance at the source before accessing electrical components.
• Capacitors can hold charge—discharge safely before touching terminals.
• Use insulated tools and avoid shorting terminals; verify correct fit and secure connections.

The Fuse is an OEM part for Whirlpool microwaves. It is a crucial safety component designed to protect the microwave from electrical surges and potential short circuits by breaking the circuit if the current flow exceeds safe levels.

Causes of a bad microwave fuse can include electrical surges, faulty wiring, or normal wear and tear over time. A blown fuse will render the microwave inoperable, as it cuts off the power supply to prevent further damage or hazards.

Symptoms of a bad microwave fuse include:

• The microwave not powering on
• The microwave stopping mid-operation
• No response from the control panel or keypad
• Sudden loss of power during use

This OEM part is also compatible with Maytag, KitchenAid, Jenn-Air, Amana, Magic Chef, Admiral, Norge, Roper, and Kenmore models.
