General Electric Capacitor

Microwave not heating? High voltage capacitor stores energy to power the magnetron. DIY repair typically takes 30-60 minutes with proper safety care.

Fix a washer that won't spin or agitate. This motor capacitor stores energy to start and run the motor. DIY repair takes about 10 minutes with video help.

Fix a microwave that won't heat or hums but doesn't start. This capacitor stores energy for the high-voltage circuit. Moderate DIY repair, 30-60 minutes.

Microwave not heating or humming loudly? This high-voltage capacitor powers the magnetron. Commonly replaced with the diode. Moderate DIY repair.

This microwave high-voltage capacitor stores and releases energy in the high-voltage circuit to power the magnetron. Replacing a failed capacitor helps restore proper heating and protects other components in the high-voltage system.

  Do-It-Yourself Stories from Customers like You Microwave oven was not heating   Scott S. • Charlotte , NC • June 20, 2017

  I ordered the capacitor, diode, and magnetron in hopes that I would be able to complete the repair using the less expensive parts. I first removed the oven from the wall and then I removed the metal housing to access the internal parts. I discharged the capacitor using a pair of insulated needle nose pliers. Then I changed out the diode and the capacitor and reassembled the unit and tested it. It still did not heat so I disassembled the unit again and replaced the magnetron this time.... Read more

This washer motor run capacitor stores and releases electrical energy to help the drive motor start and run smoothly. Replacing a weak capacitor can help restore consistent agitation and spin and reduce motor humming or stalling under load.

  Do-It-Yourself Stories from Customers like You Drum would not rotate intermittently.   Robert L. • Cary , NC • May 24, 2019

  The Dryer is 10 years old GE Front Load DPVH890JEMG. The drum would intermittently not rotate at the beginning of a cycle and occasionally would rotate but then start and stop throughout the cycle. I did not check error codes, but the windings on the motor were black. So it seemed reasonable that the motor was overheating and sending a signal to the control board to stop. There is one screw under the knob and 9 screws on the front to get inside. I decided to replace the bearings, capacitor,... Read more

Fix a microwave that won't heat or blows fuses. This high-voltage capacitor powers the magnetron. Moderate DIY repair, requires careful discharge.

Fix a microwave that won't heat or makes loud humming noises. This high voltage capacitor often fails when the magnetron can't generate heat properly.

Microwave not heating? This high-voltage capacitor stores and releases electrical energy to power the magnetron for heat production. DIY fix.

Fix a microwave that won't heat or has no power with this high voltage capacitor. Critical component requiring careful handling and discharge.

This run capacitor helps the appliance motor start and run smoothly by storing and releasing electrical energy. Replacing a worn capacitor can restore reliable motor operation and reduce abnormal motor noise or cycling. What it does:

• Provides th

Fix a range hood fan that won't start or runs intermittently with this motor start/run capacitor. Easy DIY repair restores proper motor performance.

Microwave not heating food? The high voltage capacitor often fails alongside the diode or magnetron. DIY repair in 1-2 hours can save hundreds.

If your microwave won't power on or runs intermittently, a faulty capacitor may be the cause. This part stores electrical charge for the magnetron.

Fix a washer dryer combo that won't start, stopped mid-cycle, or produced a burning smell. This capacitor restores power to the motor. DIY repair.
