What is the resistance supposed to be on this diode? The one I think I need to replace is measuring about 600K ohms. I've read that they should be 50K - 200K ohms one way and open the other way. But usually a bad one would be either open or shorted. Just want to make sure I need it.

Answer Hello Al. The manufacture does not offer the resistance of this diode WB27X10037, but you are testing it correctly. It should only read one way, and should not be shorted out. Most of these, and based on the numbers on the diode, read around 50K Ohms. This one should be around there as well. Hope this helps.
