The Diode is an OEM replacement part for LG countertop microwave models. Located internally on circuit boards regulating magnetron function, it precisely controls the electric current flow. Causes of a bad diode involve thermal fatigue over time putting repetitive stress on sensitive semiconductor junctions. Microwave demands may accelerate failures. Symptoms include:
This OEM LG part is also compatible with Sears/Kenmore microwaves.
I have a multimeter so I was able to check the fuse per website recommendations and it was blown. However, the capacitor on the microwave was also original so I elected to replace the capacitor, fuse, and the ground protect diode.

Excellent trade to buy $40 worth of parts rather than a new $400 microwave. One nit - Kenmore puts a screw in the back that... Read more
This synchronous turntable motor rotates the glass tray inside your microwave to help food heat evenly. Replace it to restore smooth, consistent rotation if the tray has stopped turning, stalls intermittently, or makes unusual noises from the base.
I googled the make and model, and found the part on AppliancePartsPros.com. The underside of the oven has a metal grille with numerous openings of various shapes and sizes. There is a rectangle that is punched into this grille, just below the motor. I pried between the vent holes to snap the connections near the perimeter on the punched rectangle. I only did this on three sides. Then pry up the rectangle away from the connected side. Undid the hold down screw, separated the motor from the... Read more
This replacement microwave lamp restores the lighting you rely on to safely see food in the cavity or the cooktop below, depending on your model. Replace a burned-out bulb to bring back clear, convenient visibility while cooking.
Pretty easy fix. Took out 7-8 screws to remove cover for access to light. 2 were security type screws so I had to run to the hardware store to buy a special screwdriver. One screw to remove the bulb. Read more
