[QUOTE="sanny, post: 246853, member: 1327"] My microwave recently packed in so i did a few tests and found the power diode to be at fault my oven seems to have two....one from the capacitor to the chasis and the other across the terminals of the capacitor i replaced the one to the chasis with one i bought from fleabay..im pretty sure it was the one across the terminals that was causing the problem so i removed it completely and now the microwave works fine i was wondering if anyone knows the purpose of this diode as not all microwaves have one across the terminals of the capacitor Thanks in advance :) [/QUOTE]
