I removed the outer cover and exposed the inner workings. I watched a video on partselect.com to show how to remove and replace the Diode. I followed the instructions and it was very easy to replace.
Unfortunately, the diode was only part of the issue. I ended up replacing the High Voltage capacitor and Magnetron also. Those were a little more complicated but still easy to do.
Now the Microwave works just like new! Cost me less than $100 for all parts.
Turn off power to microwave (kitchen circuit breaker) Remove 3 sheet metal screws bottom front, disconnect electrical connections to motor and lights, remove defective motor(1 screw), replace with new unit, replace screw, re-attach bottom (3) screws, test. Replacement motor cost via this supplier was 1/3 of what local appliance repair store would have charged.
My repair went terrible as I was sent the wrong motor 2 times. My stove sat in the middle of my small kitchen for 2 weeks. Finally the 3rd was the correct one except I didn't have the right nut so I waited another day for that to be sent. Everything working good now, I just hope the bottom fan doesn't go out after this experience.
went to you tube and found a segment compatible to my issue.called the web site and ordered the thermostat fuse and ceramic fuse in case i had the wrong one purchased at the locale H/Depot. The only issue was I did not know that there was 2 different thermo fuses,,one controls fan and the other a basic one. luckily the fan wasn't the one that was blown.The woman i spoke to was very helpful and my order was AT MY HOUSE in less then 24 hours.
hardest part was taking the microwave down off of the wall to gain access to the diode. Thought if was the transformer but ended up being just a blown diode. remove and replace and bench test. that part took 15 minutes . moral of the story don't boil water under the side of the microwave that holds the electric components.
Information provided on the web site by Part Select, were helpful and encouraging to select and buy the part needed to repair the appliance. No doubt, a skilled person having background in the repair of appliances should attend such repair job.
