Capacitor
Part #0CZZW1H004B
Store the electrical energy needed by a microwaves high-voltage heating system with this replacement capacitor. During cooking, the capacitor works with the transformer, diode, and magnetron to help create the energy that heats food. A faulty capacitor may be linked to no heat, loud buzzing, or a fuse that blows when cooking begins. However, these signs can also come from other high-voltage components, so proper testing is important. Microwave capacitors may hold a deadly electrical charge even after the power cord is unplugged. For this reason, testing and installation must be completed by a qualified appliance service technician.

My 8 year old daughter cleaned the inside of the microwave with enough water to rival a tsunami. Resulted in a clean microwave with a fried out motor that no longer revolved. Part came quickly. Took cover and bottom off to get to the part. One screw held it on and a plug. Removed those, put on new part and she was good to go. No tri p to home depot today.
