Is This the Right Part?

✅ Cross Reference Information

Common Symptoms

• Microwave runs with insufficient or no heating
• Burning smell or visible capacitor damage/burn marks
• Loud or abnormal operating noise
• Circuit breaker may trip

Check Before Replacing

• Confirm the microwave has a genuine no-heat symptom before identifying the capacitor as a possible cause; other high-voltage components can produce similar symptoms.
• With power disconnected, inspect the capacitor and surrounding wiring for visible bulging, cracking, leakage, discoloration, loose terminals, or burn marks.
• Use the appliance-specific service documentation to verify that 8206562 is listed for the exact model before replacement.
• Do not touch, test, or remove the capacitor unless trained and equipped for microwave high-voltage service; the capacitor can retain a lethal charge after unplugging and must be properly discharged before access or testing.
