Capacitor and Diode

The capacitor has an internal shunt resistor to 
automatically discharge the capacitor when the 
microwave oven turns off. Under normal operation, 
the capacitor should fully discharge within 30 
seconds.

WARNING

: Always be certain the capacitor is 

discharged before servicing. Mechanically discharge 
the capacitor by placing an insulated-handle 
screwdriver between the diode connection on the 
capacitor and the oven chassis ground.

Note

: Use the screw head closest to the capacitor to 

ensure ground metal contact.

To remove the capacitor and diode:

1.  Remove the outer cover. (See 

Outer Cover

.)

2.  Disconnect the wiring to the high voltage 

capacitor.

3.  Remove the Phillips-head screw that attaches 

the capacitor and diode to the oven and remove 
the high voltage capacitor.

4.  Disconnect the diode from the high voltage 

capacitor.

9.  Grasp the hub of the cooling fan blade and pull 

the cooling fan blade off the motor shaft.

10.   Remove 2 Phillips-head screws that attach the    

 cooling fan motor to the cooling fan frame.

8.  Move the cooling fan frame out thru the right 

side of the microwave oven.
