I'm replacing the Magnetron in my 10-year old microwave. It was suggested that I also replace the diode as long as I'm at it. GE diodes are in the $50 range, but it seems to me, a "generic" diode should be able to do the job. I've seen them for seven bucks (ie, Whirlpool KitchenAid Microwave Diode W10163432). Is there anything specific about the GE diode that would require it's use? Thanks!

Hi , I have a Kenmore microwave, it has power, cavity light is "on", clock works. Press start, seems like it's working since it's making that humming microwave noise....but no heat at all. What part should I get ? Thanks

Sonny

Answer Hello Sonny. If it is humming loud, you will need to order the diode and the magnetron to repair the issue.

My question is to clarify (for me and anyone else out there who may have the same question), while everything says that it should only read in one direction, and that if it reads both ways it is bad, it is also true that if you get no reading in either direction that the diode is also bad (and I'm testing with the diode out of the chassis). Thanks!!

Brian for Model Number JVM1851SH01

Answer Brian, You are correct, There has to be a reading in one direction only. If there is no reading in either direction, your diode has failed. You do need an analog or digital meter that produces at least 12 VDC to "kick" through the diode circuit, or a multimeter that has a diode test circuit setting, in order to test the diode properly.

Please let me know the voltage on magnetron pins.

Avtar for Model Number jbm1630wb004

Answer Hello Avtar. The manufacture does not offer the voltage, but says to test the magnetron WB27X10017, it should read less than 1 ohm. Hope this helps.

How many ohms resistance of high voltage diode.

Avtar for Model Number jvm1630wb004

Answer Hello Avtar. The manufacture does not provide the ohms, but says the diode should only read in one direction if it is good. If it reads both ways, then the diode WB27X1160 is bad. You can test this with a multi-meter TJMA-DMT3. Here is a link on how to use a multi-meter.
