Customer Questions and Answers for Diode Hv Assembly (High-Voltage Diode) by Ge

This high-voltage diode assembly converts the microwave's high-voltage AC to DC for the magnetron so the oven can heat food. Durable replacement for failed or damaged HV diodes to restore heating performance. What it does

• Converts high-voltage AC to DC for the magnetron to enable proper microwave heating
• Commonly replaced when the oven stops heating or has intermittent heating
• Can fail shorted or open, cause blown high-voltage fuse, or contribute to arcing/noisy operation
• Works with the high-voltage circuit components (magnetron, capacitor, transformer)

• One high-voltage diode assembly

• Disconnect power and allow the appliance to sit before servicing
• The high-voltage capacitor can hold a lethal charge — discharge safely before touching components
• Use insulated tools and follow OEM safety procedures
