If Radio Shack doesn't have them "in stock" they should be able to acquire them. I personally haven't used Radio Shack for parts in years. There are many other catalog or online sources, although many require a mininum order, so Radio Shack may still be your best bet. Locally we have a place called "Frys." Again, I personally don't buy parts there, but I did browse through store when they first opened to see what all they carry. Put the "original" in an ziptop bag and take with you. Capacitance and polarity should match, but voltage could be higher, if necessary. |

Should I be looking for anything in particular when I find this capacitor? I really appreciate your help in taking me thru this! |

This isn't my first rodeo...there are many posts that never get responded to...As said I am out of my element with electronics so please cut me some slack. The model # is 46GW944...any input will be appreciated. |

If you need location(s) of part(s), The Model &/or Chassis number would be required. |

Try to check every capacitor at regulator circuit. |
