Hi! I have a Samsung microwave oven in which everything is working except it is not heating. I have a very limited knowledge with electronics, so everything that I will be telling here is based on research i did on the internet. I have checked using a multimeter tester the HV Diode by connecting it to a 9v battery and it was okay (I watched a video how to do it). I also checked the magnetron by checking for continuity its power supply pins and each power supply pin against the body using a multimeter tester and it was also okay (I also watched a video how to do it). When I checked the HV Capacitor using resistance test, it only tested 1.6 ohms wherein there is supposed to have a 10M ohms resistor inside it, also in the capacitance test, it shows 0 mF. I believe the HV Capacitor is shorted.
The HV Capacitor BiCai CH85-21068 and rated as 2100V-AC, 0.68uF, 10M ohms. I wish to replace it but the closest the online sellers have is a generic HV Capacitor with a rating of 2100V-AC, 0.7uF, 10M ohms. My question is can i use this even though this has a slightly higher capacitance? (0.68uF vs 0.70uF). This HV Capacitor is the big one connected from the power supply in one end and to the HV Diode and magnetron on the other end so I know, I cannot take chance on this.
Thanks in advance.
