This magnetron capacitor is the microwave high-voltage capacitor that helps supply the magnetron with the pulse of energy needed to produce heat. Replacing a failing capacitor restores normal heating performance and reduces arcing or loud humming. What it does

• Stores and releases the high-voltage pulse required by the magnetron so the microwave can generate heat.
• Prevents unstable magnetron operation that can cause weak or no heating.
• Common symptoms of a failing capacitor: oven runs but doesn't heat, intermittent heating, loud buzzing/humming, or visible arcing inside the cavity.
• A failed capacitor can also cause blown internal fuses or tripped circuits.

• One capacitor.

• Disconnect power and verify the appliance is completely de-energized before servicing.
• Capacitors can hold dangerous charge; discharge the capacitor safely with an insulated tool.
• Use the exact replacement part and follow the appliance service manual for routing and connections.
