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.

This is a universal component rather than a single-manufacturer part, so the specific OEM number your microwave's label references will vary by brand (GE, Whirlpool, Frigidaire, Samsung, LG, and others). 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.

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 DC47-00016A Dryer Thermal Fuse
The XPARTCO DC47-00016A is an aftermarket replacement thermal fuse for Samsung dryers. Mounted on the blower housing near the heat source, this fuse is a one-time safety device: as long as the dryer stays within its normal operating temperature, it does nothing at all, but the instant internal temperatures climb dangerously high — almost always from restricted airflow — the fuse permanently opens the circuit and cuts power to the dryer. That's why a blown thermal fuse produces such a specific symptom: the dryer won't start at all, with no lights, no tumble, and no response, even though the outlet has power.
This fuse terminates in 1/4" male spade connectors for a direct plug-in fit. Unlike a thermostat, a thermal fuse cannot be reset once it blows — it must be replaced. Critically, a blown thermal fuse is almost always a symptom rather than a random failure: restricted exhaust venting is the leading cause, since trapped heat is exactly what the fuse is designed to react to. A failing thermistor can also cause repeated fuse blows, since the two work together to regulate temperature. It directly replaces 2068545, AP4201894, AP4201899, PS4205213, EAP4205213, PS2038378, PS2038533, and 35001087.
Quick Answer
The XPARTCO DC47-00016A Dryer Thermal Fuse fixes Samsung dryers that won't start at all — no lights, no tumble, no response to any button — after overheating from restricted airflow. 1/4" male spade terminals. Replaces 2068545, AP4201894, AP4201899, PS4205213, EAP4205213, PS2038378, PS2038533, 35001087. Always inspect and clean the dryer venting when replacing this fuse — a blown fuse is a symptom of restricted airflow, and installing a new fuse without fixing the vent will likely blow it again.
Common Problems This Part Fixes
Dryer won't start at all — no lights, no tumble, no response to any button
Dryer that stopped working suddenly, especially after a load felt unusually hot
Dryer runs a short time then shuts off completely and won't restart
Repeated blown fuses on a dryer with a known venting or airflow restriction
Clothes coming out extremely hot right before the dryer stopped working
Dryer that recently smelled like burning or overheating before failing
Continuity test shows an open circuit across the old fuse

Installation Notes
⚠️ Unplug Dryer Before Starting — Inspect And Clean The Venting Before Reassembling Disconnect power at the outlet or shut off the circuit breaker before beginning. Wear work gloves. Access is typically through the rear panel: remove the screws securing the panel to reach the blower housing where the fuse is mounted, usually alongside the thermistor. Photograph the wiring before disconnecting the spade terminals from the old fuse. Remove the mounting screw holding the fuse in place and pull it free, disconnecting both spade terminal wires. Before installing the new fuse, test it for continuity with a multimeter to confirm it's good out of the box, and test the old one to confirm it's actually blown (no continuity) rather than assuming. This is the most important step: fully inspect and clean the dryer's exhaust vent, from the lint trap housing all the way to the exterior vent hood, checking for lint buildup, crushed sections, or excessive length. A blown thermal fuse is a symptom of restricted airflow, and skipping this step means the new fuse is likely to blow again. Install the new DC47-00016A in the same mounting position, reconnect both spade terminals, and secure the mounting screw. Reinstall the rear panel, restore power, and run a test cycle to confirm normal heating and shutoff behavior. Tools needed: Phillips or nut driver (model-dependent), multimeter, vent brush or vacuum attachment for cleaning ductwork, work gloves.
Frequently Asked Questions
I replaced the fuse and it blew again. What's going on?
This is a strong sign that the underlying cause — almost always restricted airflow — was never addressed. Thermal fuses don't fail from age; they blow because the dryer overheated. If a new fuse keeps blowing, thoroughly inspect and clean the entire exhaust path from the lint trap housing to the outside vent hood, checking for lint buildup, crushed or kinked ductwork, or a vent run that's too long. If airflow checks out and the fuse still blows, have the thermistor and thermostat checked as well, since a failing thermistor can also trigger repeated fuse blows.
Can I just reset the thermal fuse instead of replacing it?
No. Unlike a thermostat, a thermal fuse is a one-time safety device — once it blows, its internal circuit is permanently broken and it cannot be reset or repaired. Replacement is the only option.
Should I replace the thermistor at the same time as the fuse?
It's worth strongly considering, and it's a common manufacturer recommendation. The thermistor and thermal fuse work together to manage temperature, and a failing thermistor can cause the dryer to run hotter than it should, leading directly to repeated fuse blows. Replacing both together, especially if your dryer has blown this fuse more than once, addresses the more likely root cause rather than just the symptom.
My clothes came out extremely hot right before the dryer died. Is that related?
Yes, this is a classic warning sign. Clothes coming out unusually hot indicates the dryer was already running hotter than normal, which is exactly the condition that leads to a blown thermal fuse. If you noticed this before the dryer stopped working, it strongly points to a ventilation or airflow problem that should be fully addressed before running the dryer again.
Is this an OEM or aftermarket part?
This is an aftermarket replacement part built to OEM-equivalent quality standards. It is not a genuine Samsung OEM part, but is manufactured to match the electrical specifications, spade terminal connections, and mounting configuration of the original DC47-00016A thermal fuse used in compatible Samsung, LG, and Kenmore dryers.
