This high-voltage rectifier diode is used in the microwave's high-voltage circuit. It converts AC to DC so the magnetron can produce heat. A failed diode can cause no heat, loud humming, or a blown fuse when starting. What it does:

• Rectifies high-voltage AC to DC to power the magnetron
• Blocks reverse voltage in the HV circuit
• Common failure symptoms can include: runs but doesn't heat; loud hum then shutdown; line fuse blows at startup

• 1 high-voltage diode

• Unplug the microwave and properly discharge the high-voltage capacitor before servicing—dangerous voltage can remain even when unplugged
• Match diode orientation/polarity to the original and ensure a solid chassis ground connection where used
• Route leads and reinstall any clamps/insulators exactly as found; keep wiring clear of sharp edges and hot components
• If the original diode failed, inspect the HV capacitor and transformer for related issues before reassembly

This high-voltage diode rectifies AC to DC in the microwave's high-voltage circuit so the magnetron can generate heat. When it fails, the oven may run normally but won't heat or may blow fuses.

• Converts high-voltage AC to DC for magnetron operation
• Maintains correct polarity and protects the HV circuit
• Common failure symptoms: runs but no heat, loud hum then shutdown, blown internal fuse, or tripping breaker
• Visible burn or damage on the diode or leads may be present

• Disconnect power before servicing; high voltage is present even when unplugged
• Safely discharge the high-voltage capacitor before touching HV components
• Match orientation to the original—polarity matters; ensure tight, insulated connections

This rectifier is the microwave's high-voltage diode. It converts AC to DC in the high-voltage circuit so the magnetron can heat. Replacing a failed rectifier can restore reliable heating performance.

• Converts alternating current to direct current in the microwave's high-voltage circuit
• Works with the transformer and capacitor to power the magnetron
• A failed rectifier can cause no heat while the unit runs, intermittent heating, or unusual humming
• Blocks reverse voltage to help protect high-voltage components

• Disconnect power before servicing; microwaves contain high-voltage circuits
• The high-voltage capacitor can retain a dangerous charge even when unplugged—discharge per service procedures
• Observe polarity and match the original orientation during installation
• Route and secure leads as originally installed to avoid arcing or damage

This high-voltage diode assembly is part of the microwave's HV circuit. It converts the transformer's high-voltage AC to DC, enabling the magnetron to generate microwave energy so your unit can heat food properly.

• Other possible signs include a loud hum during cook or a blown internal fuse at start-up

• Unplug the microwave; the HV capacitor can hold a dangerous charge—discharge it properly before servicing
• 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.
