Parts for Kenmore 790.49613316 (79049613316, 790 49613316): Microwave Parts

The Capacitor/Rectifier is an OEM part for Frigidaire microwaves. It functions to convert alternating current (AC) into direct current (DC) that is required to power the microwave's magnetron tube and internal control circuits. The capacitor works alongside the high-voltage transformer to start and maintain safe operation during cooking cycles.

Causes of failure include drying out or cracking of the capacitor's internal dielectric material over extended heat exposure and use. It may also fail prematurely due to power surges.

Symptoms of a bad component include:

• The microwave failing to start or having inconsistent power levels 
• Buzzing or humming from internal electronic areas  
• Tripped circuit breakers or blown fuses after use
• Fault codes or error messages related to electrical issues

This OEM replacement is also compatible with Electrolux, Gibson, Kelvinator, and Kenmore microwave models. 

Replace a failed light socket with this lamp assembly to restore reliable illumination inside your appliance. If your bulb is good but the light won't work or flickers, the socket assembly is a likely culprit.

• Holds the bulb and supplies power to illuminate the interior or work area
• Replaces cracked, heat-damaged, or loose sockets and terminals
• Helps resolve no light, intermittent flicker, or arcing at the socket
• Designed to fit the original mounting and wiring on compatible models

The Door Switch is an OEM replacement part for Frigidaire wall ovens. It is a component located on the oven door that detects when the door is opened and closed. The door switch works alongside the control board to regulate oven operations based on door position.  

Symptoms of a bad door switch can include:

• Oven failing to automatically go into bake or warm modes after door closure
• Interior lights not turning on when the door is opened
• Control buttons/display remaining constantly lit instead of dimming
• Oven not heating or functioning properly in different modes

Causes relate to normal wear over extended use as the door switch mechanism cycles with frequent door openings and closings. Moisture exposure or impacts could also degrade switch performance.

This OEM Frigidaire switch is compatible with Amana, Jenn-Air, KitchenAid, and some Electrolux wall oven models as well.

This thermal fuse stops excessive heat by opening the circuit when temperatures get too high, protecting the appliance and its components. Replace a blown fuse to restore normal heating or safety shutdown functions. What it does:
