Dennis April 12, 2021 for Model Number ME16H702SEW/AA-00 Do I gain access to the capacitor and high voltage diode by removing the entire outer casing of the unit or is there another way?
1 Answer Dennis, after allowing the microwave to sit unplugged for 10 minutes, the outer casing would need to be removed to access the capacitor and diode. Read More...
Cory May 19, 2020 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?
1 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.

Eugene April 27, 2020 for Model Number eugenehorton234@gmail.com My Samsung microwave turns on and sounds normal but the food is not getting hot. Possible my kid put metal in the microwave model # me18h704sfs
1 Answer Eugene, You will want to test the door switches to make sure that they are good. If the door switches test ok then test the magnetron for a resistance value of less than 1 ohm of resistance. Also, test to see if the capacitor and the diode are good. Read More...
1 Answer Bob, We will need your model number to help you find the right parts for your unit. Please post another question with all your info included thank you. Read More...
Scott Betts December 24, 2018 for Model Number SMH9151STE/XAA-0000 Microwave does not heat. Everything seems correct when you press start or 1min but does not begin heating cycle. What would the problem be?
1 Answer Scott, more than likely the magnetron has failed. A diode normally makes a loud noise when it has failed. There is not a safe way I can tell you as to how to check the high voltage side. I would recommend you letting a trained service tech look at it. Read More...
Kathy January 06, 2018 for Model Number MMV5207BA/BC I believe I need a new diode a sour microwave is not heating at all but no strange noise. Is the AP4236698 right for this microwave?
1 Answer Kathy, Yes the diode DE91-70063D will for for your model but will want to check to see if the magnetron is bad by testing for continuity. If there is less than 1 ohm then it is good. Read More...
Daniel C. December 07, 2017 for Model Number ME21H706MQS Samsung microwave runs when there is nothing programmed and the door is shut. It stops when the door is opened.
1 Answer Hello Daniel, You will need to replace all three door switches. You will need two 3405-001034 and one 3405-001033. The 3405-001033 will be installed in the center position. Read More...
Eric Alexander November 06, 2017 for Model Number JMC8130DDB My 2007 microwave stopped heating. I checked my microwave for all the usual issues: magnetron, door latches, capacitor and determined that the problem was my diode. When I checked it, according to the testing meter, it appeared to not allow the current to flow in either direction. I checked the part I needed and bought the replacement diode. Samsung Diode, part # AP4236698 (DE91-70063D) (It looks just like the old diode). The brand new diode does not appear to allow the current to flow in either direction based on meter testing. I had a another old diode which showed that the meter was working properly and showed that the current could only flow in one way. Are microwave diodes different than standard diodes? Did I buy a deficient part, or is the problem with the microwave something else entirely? Thanks
1 Answer Eric, A microwave diode would be the same as other diodes but would suggest installing the new diode to see if this will correct the heating issue. Read More...
Subir Sarkar March 23, 2016 for Model Number SMH1816W Everytime the bottom 20 amp fuse blows. After changing the oven works fine vent fans works but will blow while opening the oven door.
1 Answer Subir, You will want to change the door switches on the unit as they would be the cause of the fan blowing with the door open and the fuse continuing to blow. Read More...
