Description

This high-voltage capacitor stores and supplies the boosted voltage needed by a microwave's magnetron so the oven can produce heat. It replaces a worn or failed HV capacitor to restore proper high-voltage operation. What it does:

• Stores and releases the high-voltage charge used by the magnetron to generate microwave energy
• Commonly used when a microwave stops heating or runs intermittently
• Can cause blown fuses or arcing if it fails or becomes shorted
• Works with the high-voltage diode and transformer as part of the HV circuit

What's included:

• One high-voltage (HV) capacitor

Install notes:

• Disconnect power and discharge the capacitor before servicing to avoid severe shock
• Only install the exact replacement part; inspect associated HV diode and fuse if symptoms persist
• Handle and route wires carefully to avoid pinching or shorting after installation
