Description

This high-voltage magnetron capacitor stores and supplies the large charge needed by a microwave's magnetron, helping the oven generate heat for cooking. Replace a failed capacitor to restore normal high-voltage operation. What it does:

• Stores DC high voltage required by the magnetron in the microwave high-voltage circuit
• Helps deliver the pulse of energy that allows the magnetron to produce microwave radiation for heating
• Common symptom: microwave runs but does not heat or has greatly reduced heating power
• Other possible signs: arcing, loud buzzing from the high-voltage area, or frequent blown fuses

What's included: One high-voltage magnetron capacitor (single part as shown) Install notes:

• HIGH VOLTAGE HAZARD: Always unplug the appliance and discharge the high-voltage capacitor before handling—capacitors can hold a dangerous charge even when powered off.
• Use insulated tools and follow the appliance service manual.
• Inspect surrounding high-voltage components (diode, transformer) and replace any damaged parts per the service manual.
