Removing The Vent Motor Capacitor, The High Voltage Capacitor & Rectifier - Whirlpool MH6140XKQ/B Manual

REMOVING THE VENT MOTOR CAPACITOR,
THE HIGH VOLTAGE CAPACITOR & RECTIFIER
WARNING
ELECTRICAL SHOCK HAZARD
Disconnect power before servicing.
Replace all panels before operating.
Failure to do so could result in death or
electrical shock.
CAUTION: When you work on the microwave
oven, be careful when handling the sheet metal
parts. Sharp edges may be present, and you
can cut yourself if you are not careful.
1. Disconnect the electrical power to the
microwave oven.
2. Remove the control panel from the micro-
wave oven (see page 3-4 for the proce-
dure).
3. Remove the high voltage access panel
from over the control panel opening (see
page 3-8, step 3).
4. CAUTION: Discharge the high voltage
capacitor with a 20,000
chassis ground.

6. Splice the wires on the new capacitor to
the old capacitor wires.
7. To remove the high voltage capacitor
and high voltage rectifier:
a) Disconnect the wires and rectifier lead
from the terminals of the high voltage
capacitor.
b) Remove the mounting screw from the
clamp and remove the rectifier and
capacitor.
