Cory for Model Number ME21M706BAG/AA-00 2mths after 1 year warranty, loud popping sound then would not heat. Ordered Diode from you folks AP4236698. Replaced the diode and it worked fine for about 3 weeks. Same noise and now again wont heat. Is it worth trying another Diode or likely something else that is causing Diode to go bad?
Answer Hello Cory, the diode and the magnetron work together in the high voltage circuit, if the magnetron is having problems and draws an excess of current it will cause the diode to fail, if the diode was replaced and the mw heated correctly for a short time and the diode has failed again then the diode and the magnetron would need to be replaced , however the manufacturer has discontinued the magnetron [DE94-02754A] for your model.
