FIXED Maytag Microwave MMV1153BA HV Capacitor Replacement Matching

My Maytag MMV1153BA microwave has stopped working. I replaced the fuse and it worked for just a moment. I then disassembled it and found that the HV capacitor is bad. The original is rated .86 MFD/2100VAC. I haven't found an exact match, but I did find one rated .86 MFD/2200VAC.

Is it okay to use the capacitor with a SLIGHTLY higher voltage (2200 vs.2100)?

Thanks.

@rickgburton would probably know, I will message him.

Rick,
Do you mind if I bother you again? I have another question about fuses. The ones I got at my hardware are 20A Bussmann Microwave Fuses. However they are ABC Fast Act and not MDA slow burn or time delay. Will these be okay or should I get the slow burn fuses? Thanks again.

 

[rickgburton]

That one is good. Microwaves normally don't use a time delay fuse.

Update: The new capacitor is installed and everything seems to be working fine. I want to say thank you for the responses and the advice you guys gave me.
