Capacitor Replacement (WB27X10363)
WARNING: Disconnect the electrical power
supply before servicing the capacitor. The
capacitor is capable of storing voltage that could
be lethal. Do not touch the bare connector
terminals.
1. Remove the guard surrounding the capacitor
shell. Some models have a flat plastic spacer
between the capacitor shell and the motor.
Retain the guard and the spacer for reassem-
bly.

WARNING: Make sure the stored electrical
charge has been dissipated by placing a 100-ohm,
2-watt resistor across the terminals, or by placing
a screwdriver blade between the terminals and
grounding the screwdriver to the cooktop for
several seconds.
