Installation Notes

This part is typically installed by a qualified appliance repair technician. Before servicing, disconnect the microwave from its power source and allow any stored charge in the capacitor to discharge fully - microwave capacitors can hold a lethal charge even after power is removed and must be discharged by a trained technician before any internal work begins. Use standard appliance repair tools and follow all applicable local electrical codes when performing the replacement.
