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 Diode is an OEM part for Whirlpool microwaves. It plays a crucial role in the microwave's operation by allowing electrical current to flow in one direction, essential for converting AC power to DC power, which is necessary for the microwave's components to function correctly.

Over time, the diode can fail due to electrical surges, general wear and tear, or exposure to high heat. A bad diode can disrupt the microwave's ability to heat food properly, leading to inefficient performance or complete appliance failure.

Symptoms of a bad diode include:

• Microwave not heating
• Sparking or unusual noises during operation
• Burning smell from the microwave
•  Microwave shutting down shortly after starting

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

If you notice symptoms such as loose or wobbly components, difficulty in opening or closing the microwave door, or abnormal noises while the microwave is in use, it may be time to replace this part.

Symptoms of a bad microwave screw include:

• Loose or wobbly components
• Difficulty in opening or closing the microwave door
