METER STAR Microwave Oven High Voltage Capacitor, 1.00 uF 2100 V, 2+2 Terminals, 1/4 in Connect Pins, Replacement Part

This was a five star item. First it was delivered very quickly. I hadn't even put my tools away used to disassemble the equipment before the new parts came (2 days). Then, I installed the new parts (capacitor and diode) and turned the microwave on with a load and it came on and heated the cup of liquid. I like fixing broken items like this! Thanks.

My aunt has a frigidaire gmos1962afa microwave that the fuse had blown out causing it to loose all power. I replaced the fuse first, being the easiest thing to start with and while it got the power back on it, it quickly blew out again a couple of seconds after pressing the start button. I could tell it sounded like it struggled to get started like the capacitor was bad but I was not sure at the moment without testing it. I went ahead and got this one to have on hand for when I took it down to take it apart to check. Fortunately once it was all apart, the old capacitor did test bad and already having this one I was able to go ahead and change it. I got it all back together, installed another new fuse and it worked great again. So between this capacitor and a pack of fuses, I've got around $20 in it. Not bad to fix a $400 microwave. While this ended up being an involved project, it is a relatively easy fix. These capacitors can be very dangerous and should only be replaced by someone confident in these kind of repairs.

Worked with my microwave, but be mindful if yours is a small pin or big pin

Worked for me! My microwave has been up and running again for several months!

This capacitor is exactly the one in my LG microwave that I found to be defective due to a repeated blown fuse. I didn't hesitate to buy it yesterday. It arrived and installed it today and now my LG microwave is operational again.

Exact replacement. Made by the same company as OE. Non-polarized capacitor for $12. A great deal. Whirlpool and Amana sell this same unit for about $100. My old Amana microwave is now working perfectly again

My microwave kept blowing fuses. Bought this and installed it and it works fine now.

Hat meine große Heissluft-/Grill-/Mikrowelle TCM 218043 Mikrowelle "gerettet". Nachdem diese im Hitzesommer 2026 bei 32 Grad in der Küche dann 30 Minuten einen großen Mikrowellentopf mit Tomaten-Kartoffelsuppe kochen musste :-) Am nächsten Tag dann NICHTS mehr erwärmte. Gut, der Herd ist +15 Jahre, kann man verzeihen. Kaputt war dieser Kondensator der absolut 1:1 ein Ersatz war (Werte, Befestigung, Größe usw.). Der alte Kondensator hatte einen (internen) Kurzschluß, somit auch 0,00 Kapazität mehr was in Folge dann auch die Hochspannungssicherung (ebenfalls bei Amazon gekauft) mit "durchknallen" ließ. Beides gewechselt und für unter 20 EUR war meine Mikrowelle wieder repariert und läuft seither über 2 Monate einwandfrei. Hinweis: Natürlich muss man sich auskennen bei so einer Reparatur, wissen was man tut (und was nicht). Entsprechende Kenntnisse auch bezügl. elektr. Sicherheit haben. Bspw. einen Hochspannungskondensator IMMER unbedingt zuerst entladen usw. auch wenn er wie dieser hier einen internen Entladewiderstand ("Bleeding resistor") eingebaut hat. Bei allem natürlich zuvor den Netzstecker ziehen, dann Kondensator entladen und NICHTS unter Spannung anfassen. Fotos vor Austausch machen ist auch hilfreich (Kabel-/Steckerpositionen).
