Hi, The high voltage capacitor for my microwave oven has shorted. It is a 2100v, 86mfd capacitor. I have a “spare” that is very similar: 2100v .76 mfd (so .76 instead of .86 mfd. Can I use it? Thanks
Without knowing more, I’d say not to use it. That particular rating may be required for the proper operation of the magnetron (the thing that generates the microwaves). GE should be able to get you the right part. Best of luck.
