Customer Questions and Answers for Diode Assembly by Ge

The Diode Assembly is an OEM part for GE microwaves. It plays a crucial role in converting alternating current (AC) to direct current (DC), which is essential for the microwave’s high-voltage functions, including powering the magnetron to generate microwave energy.

Over time, diodes can fail due to electrical surges, excessive heat, or wear and tear. A faulty diode assembly can lead to inefficient or non-functional microwave operation, impacting its ability to heat food properly.

Symptoms of a bad diode assembly include:

• Microwave not heating food
• Sparking or arcing inside the microwave
• Burning smell or unusual noises during operation
• Microwave turning on but failing to generate heat

This GE replacement part is also compatible with Hotpoint, RCA, and some Kenmore models.
