The Charcoal Filter is an OEM part for LG microwaves. It plays a crucial role in filtering and removing odors, smoke, and grease particles from the air during cooking. It is constructed with activated charcoal, which has absorbent properties and helps to eliminate cooking odors.
Over time, the charcoal filter can become saturated and less effective in odor removal. It is recommended to replace the charcoal filter periodically to maintain optimal performance and ensure clean and fresh air in your kitchen.
Symptoms of a saturated or clogged charcoal filter may include:
- Lingering cooking odors in the kitchen
- Reduced efficiency in capturing smoke or grease particles
- The presence of visible debris or discoloration on the filter
This OEM LG part can also be used on Kenmore/Sears appliances.

Kennmore elite microwave with f5 error code Julius D. • Oxford , PA • February 11, 2017
When Microwaving food, the display panel would seem to act normal, but the typical microwave sound would be absent. No microwave action would occur. Eventually an F5 code would display. Problem was the upper door switch. Found it by opening up the cabinet, removing the display panel (1 screw and a couple of plugs) and testing all three micro switched with a meter. Two switches are for the door and one for some kind of ventilation flap. They are all in the same area. Go to YouTube to see...

Lg microwave door would not latch closed Audrey S. • Rochester , NY • February 05, 2018
Ordered door latch part and new spring.
You Tube video helped me identify what I needed. I tried the fix recommended and it didn't work so I ordered the parts. It took less than 5 minutes to switch out the old for the new. If the door doesn't latch, you can't run the microwave and it's key. It wasn't an expensive or hard fix to get my microwave up and running again. So pleased with AppliancePartsPros for having what I needed and being reasonable about pricing. Turnaround time was excellent!

Our microwave made a "pop" sound and stopped working/ Daniel D. • Chesterfield , MO • September 12, 2020
I have a multimeter so I was able to check the fuse per website recommendations and it was blown. However, the capacitor on the microwave was also original so I elected to replace the capacitor, fuse, and the ground protect diode. The repair was very simple (making sure the capacitor was discharged before replacing) and the microwave is now up and running again. Excellent trade to buy $40 worth of parts rather than a new $400 microwave. One nit - Kenmore puts a screw in the back that...

- Sends feedback to the control board to adjust power levels and cook time
- Failure symptoms include sensor cook not starting, stopping early, "sensor" error messages, or inconsistent results on auto settings
What's included:
- One humidity sensor assembly
Install notes:
- Unplug the appliance before service; microwaves contain a high-voltage capacitor that can retain a dangerous charge
- Handle the sensor face carefully and keep it clean; route and secure the wire harness as originally

Microwave would not microwave Richard E. • Cape Coral , FL • January 05, 2020
Replaced the Humidity sensor, Thermistor and door switches. I replaced these thinking the problem was one of the items but didn't want to trial and error one part at a time. Plus the cost was reasonable so if these didn't help I wasn't out a lot of money. I sense the door switch was the problem. Replaced all items and the microwave works great. Thanks for the advice and the cost of the parts.

Part Number: 0CZZW1H004B
A high-voltage capacitor for the appliance's high-voltage circuit that stores and releases electrical energy to support proper heating operation. Replacing a failing capacitor can restore consistent heating and prevent related electrical faults. What it does:
- Stores and delivers high-voltage energy used by the magnetron/ high-voltage assembly to generate heat.
- Failure may cause no-heat or weak-heat conditions in the oven.
- Faulty capacitors can contribute to arcing, loud humming, or blown high-voltage fuses.
- Works as part of the HV circuit; not a user-serviceable low-voltage control.
What's included: One high-voltage capacitor. Install notes:
- High-voltage components can hold a dangerous charge—disconnect power and discharge the capacitor before servicing.
- Use insulated tools and avoid touching terminals; verify proper operation with appropriate test equipment.
