• Observe diode polarity/orientation and install in the same direction as the original
• Ensure secure, insulated connections and proper routing away from sharp edges

The High Voltage Diode is an OEM replacement part for GE microwaves. It converts the high voltage of the microwave's power supply into a lower voltage suitable for the magnetron. It acts as a one-way valve for electrical current, allowing it to flow in one direction while preventing it from flowing back in the opposite direction.

Symptoms of a faulty high voltage diode include:

• No power or complete loss of power to the microwave
• Inconsistent or inadequate heating performance
• Unusual electrical smells during operation

A bad high voltage diode can occur due to electrical malfunctions, power surges, or excessive heat exposure. If you notice issues such as no power, uneven heating, or unusual electrical smells coming from the microwave, it may be time to replace the old or damaged high voltage diode with this genuine OEM part.
