This is a fuse that is used on microwaves. This fuse shuts off the microwave if there happens to be a power surge. This helps prevent damage to the microwave unit and also prevents fires from being started from the power surge. Be sure to unplug the microwave from its power source prior to attempting the replacement of the fuse. The process to replace the fuse is relatively easy and can be completed in about 30 to 60 minutes time.A new fuse may be needed if the microwave will no longer turn on. If the fuse has been blown, it will show scorch marks, and the filament inside will be melted.This fuse is a genuine General Electric part and is an OEM part sourced directly from the manufacturer. It is sold individually. This specific fuse is compatible with microwaves that are manufactured by the General Electric brand.

This is the microwave's high-voltage capacitor. It stores and releases energy in the high-voltage circuit to power the magnetron so food heats. A failed capacitor can cause no heat, loud humming, or blown fuses.
