MWC21095 Microwave High Voltage Capacitor (2100VAC, 0.95µF) The MWC21095 is a universal high voltage capacitor for microwave ovens, part of the high-voltage power supply circuit that steps up household voltage to the extreme level the magnetron needs to generate cooking power. Working alongside the high-voltage diode and transformer, this capacitor doubles the rectified voltage feeding the magnetron — it's a core piece of why a microwave can produce thousands of volts internally from a standard household outlet. Rated 2100VAC, 0.95µF, ±3% tolerance, oval aluminum can construction with two male terminals spaced 1/4" (6.35mm) apart. Overall dimensions approximately 3.35"H (body) x 2.75"W x 2.05"D, with the terminal housing adding roughly 1.3" to the total height. Over time, the internal dielectric can break down from repeated high-voltage cycling, causing the capacitor to lose capacitance or fail outright — sometimes shorting internally. Symptoms of a failing capacitor include the microwave running (light on, turntable turning, fan running) but not heating food, a buzzing or humming noise from the high-voltage compartment, arcing or sparking sounds, or the microwave tripping a breaker shortly after starting. ⚠️ Extreme Danger — Lethal Voltage Risk A microwave's high voltage capacitor can retain a lethal electrical charge for a long time after the microwave has been unplugged — this is one of the most dangerous components in any household appliance to work on. Even with the microwave fully unplugged, this capacitor can still deliver a fatal shock if handled incorrectly. Before touching any component in the high-voltage compartment, the capacitor must be safely discharged by shorting both terminals to the chassis ground using an insulated-handle screwdriver, and that discharge should be verified with a multimeter before proceeding. If you are not fully trained and confident in safely discharging a high voltage capacitor, do not attempt this repair — have a qualified appliance technician replace this part instead. This applies every time, regardless of how long the microwave has been unplugged. Quick Answer The MWC21095 Microwave High Voltage Capacitor fixes microwave ovens that run (light, turntable, fan all working) but don't heat food, make a buzzing or arcing sound from the high-voltage compartment, or trip the breaker shortly after starting. 2100VAC, 0.95µF, ±3%, oval, 2 male terminals (1/4"/6.35mm spacing). Retains a lethal electrical charge even after unplugging — must be properly discharged before any handling.

This capacitor is a correct replacement for any microwave capacitor matching the 2100VAC, 0.95µF specification. If you have your original part number, contact our support team and we will verify compatibility before you order. Compatibility This capacitor is a universal replacement compatible with household microwave ovens across all major brands — GE, Whirlpool, Frigidaire, Samsung, LG, and others — wherever the original capacitor is rated: 2100VAC 0.95µF (or a rating within roughly 10–20% higher than your original — see FAQ) Oval shape with 2 male terminals, 1/4" (6.35mm) spacing Note: Voltage rating must match your original capacitor exactly — never substitute a lower voltage rating, and don't assume a higher voltage rating is automatically safe on this component the way it is with an HVAC run capacitor, since the high-voltage diode in the circuit must also be rated to match. Capacitance (µF) has more tolerance than voltage: a modest increase over the original rating is generally acceptable, but always try to match as closely as possible. If you're unsure whether this capacitor matches your microwave's original specification, check the rating printed on your existing capacitor's can before ordering, or contact our support team for help confirming compatibility.

Material Aluminum can Application Household Microwave Ovens Quantity 1 high voltage capacitor Compatible Brands Universal — GE, Whirlpool, Frigidaire, Samsung, LG, and most other major brands Installation Notes ⚠️ Extreme Danger — Discharge Fully Before Any Contact Unplug the microwave and wait, but never assume the capacitor is safe based on time alone. Remove the outer cabinet to access the high-voltage compartment. Before touching anything else, discharge the capacitor by shorting both terminals to the chassis ground using an insulated-handle screwdriver — do this deliberately and do not rush. Verify the capacitor reads no charge with a multimeter before proceeding. Never assume a capacitor is discharged just because time has passed, and never touch the terminals directly, even with the microwave unplugged. If you are not completely confident performing this discharge procedure safely, stop and have a qualified appliance technician complete this repair. ⚠️ Match The Terminal Wiring Exactly Wear insulated gloves and safety glasses. After confirming the capacitor is fully discharged, photograph the wiring on both terminals before disconnecting anything. Remove the mounting bracket or strap holding the old capacitor in place, and disconnect each wire from its terminal. Install the new MWC21095 in the same mounting position, and reconnect each wire to its matching terminal exactly as photographed — the two terminals are not interchangeable in some circuit configurations, so accuracy here matters. Secure the mounting bracket or strap. Reinstall the outer cabinet before restoring power. Plug the microwave back in and test with a cup of water to confirm normal heating without unusual noise. Frequently Asked Questions Is it really dangerous to work on this even with the microwave unplugged? Yes, genuinely. This is one of the most dangerous repairs a person can attempt on a household appliance, because this capacitor is specifically capable of retaining a lethal electrical charge long after the microwave has lost power. Unplugging the microwave is a necessary first step, but it does not make the capacitor safe to touch on its own — proper discharge with an insulated tool, verified with a multimeter, is required every time before any contact with this component. My microwave runs completely normally — light, turntable, fan — but food doesn't heat. Is this the capacitor? It's one of the most common causes of exactly that symptom. Since the capacitor is part of the circuit that generates the high voltage the magnetron needs, a failed capacitor can leave every other function of the microwave working normally while the actual cooking power is missing entirely. Can I use a capacitor with a slightly different µF rating than my original? Some tolerance is generally acceptable here — a modest increase over your original rating, often cited as up to roughly 10-20% higher, typically works fine, since the capacitance value isn't as tightly critical to the magnetron's operation as some assume. That said, always aim to match your original rating as closely as possible, and never substitute a different voltage rating; the voltage must match your original capacitor exactly. Should I replace the high-voltage diode at the same time? It's worth considering. The capacitor and diode work together in the same high-voltage circuit, and a failure in one can sometimes stress or damage the other. If your capacitor failed and you're already taking the precautions needed to safely access this compartment, it may be a reasonable time to inspect or replace the diode as well, particularly if the microwave shows signs of a more significant electrical fault. Is this a genuine OEM part? This is a universal replacement part rather than a brand-specific OEM part. Because high voltage capacitors of this type are a standardized component defined by their electrical specifications, this capacitor is a correct replacement for any microwave's original capacitor sharing the same 2100VAC, 0.95µF rating — regardless of which brand originally installed it.

XPARTCO MCK69074904 Microwave Waveguide Cover / Insulator The XPARTCO MCK69074904 is an aftermarket replacement waveguide cover, also known as an insulator cover or mica plate, for LG microwaves and select Bosch models. This cover protects the opening where microwave energy enters the cooking cavity from the magnetron. By covering that opening, it ensures microwaves are distributed evenly throughout the cavity while also preventing food particles, grease, and moisture from reaching and damaging the internal waveguide components. Made of mica, a material that's essentially invisible to microwave energy, this cover measures approximately 4.88" x 4.94" (126mm x 124mm including tabs) and includes a locking button/pin tab for secure mounting. Over time, splattering food and moisture exposure can cause the mica to degrade, warp, or become contaminated, and old, damp, or contaminated mica can react to microwave energy by arcing. If this cover becomes damaged, you'll typically notice sparks or arcing inside the microwave during use, along with possible uneven heating as microwave distribution is no longer properly controlled. It directly replaces MCK69074904, MCK69074902, 4957254, AP6888006, EAP12725272, ALG55468, PD00056750, PS12725272.

Wear work gloves. Carefully remove the microwave's exterior cover, taking care not to tear or damage the clips that secure it in place, and set it aside. Microwave ovens contain a high-voltage capacitor that can retain a dangerous electrical charge even after the unit is unplugged — avoid touching internal components near the capacitor and magnetron while working inside the cabinet. Locate the old waveguide cover inside the cavity, typically secured by a locking tab or small screws depending on your model. Remove the old cover, taking care not to damage the surrounding cavity surface. Install the new MCK69074904 in the same position, making sure it seats flush and the locking tab engages securely. Reinstall the exterior cover, restore power, and run a quick test with a cup of water to confirm normal heating with no sparking or arcing. Tools needed: Phillips screwdriver (model-dependent), work gloves. Frequently Asked Questions I see sparks inside my microwave. Is this the part I need? Yes, this is the classic and most direct symptom of a damaged waveguide cover. Old, damp, warped, or food-contaminated mica can react to microwave energy by arcing at the point where it's damaged. Replacing the cover typically resolves this sparking immediately. Is it safe to keep using my microwave if I notice sparking? No, it's best to stop using the microwave once you notice sparking or arcing and replace the cover as soon as possible. Continued arcing can cause more serious damage to the magnetron and other internal components, turning a simple, inexpensive repair into a much costlier one. What is mica, and why is it used for this part? Mica is a naturally heat-resistant, corrosion-resistant material that is essentially invisible to microwave energy, meaning it doesn't interfere with or absorb the microwaves passing through it. This makes it ideal for a cover positioned directly in the path of the microwave energy entering the cavity, since it protects the opening without disrupting how the microwave actually cooks food. Is this an OEM or aftermarket part? This is an aftermarket replacement part built to OEM-equivalent quality standards. It is not a genuine LG OEM part, but is manufactured to match the mica composition, dimensions, and mounting configuration of the original MCK69074904 waveguide cover used in compatible LG and Bosch microwaves.
