Maytag Microwave Diode
PartSelect Number PS12584264
Manufacturer Part Number W11256462
This diode, or high voltage diode, is used in microwaves. It is an electrical current control device that ensures power flows in one direction and not the other way. If your microwave produces no heat, heats inconsistently, or gets noisy, replacing this part can be the solution. The tools needed for this replacement are a nutdriver, pliers, and screwdrivers. First remove the microwave cover, then remove the old part by disconnecting the small thermostat. Replace with the new diode. Remember to use the diagram provided by the manufacturer for more instructions.

no heat
this problem started two months ago when my micro quit heating up, after all the research most agreed it was the magnetron. taking the micowave apart is not to difficult just make sure you bag all the screws accordingly. the high voltage area is on the right hand side behind a panel. caution there is a capacitor that will bite if your not careful, need to short the circuit between the two connectors with an insulated screw driver it will make a small pop or let it sit for awhile and it will discharge by itself. The magnetron worked for two days then quit, after more research i took it apart again and tightened up all the connections. Worked great on the bench but when i got it back up on the cabinet two dayslater kaput again. so again i take it down and replaced the two cheapest parts in the high voltage system, magnetron thermst fix, and h.v diode. benched tested it this time for 3 days cooking anything that i could think of, worked great. its been one week now afer installtion and it is still working.

Maytag Microwave High-voltage Diode
PartSelect Number PS4235633
Manufacturer Part Number DE91-70063D
This high-voltage diode is designed for use within various makes and models of microwaves and is a genuine OEM part that converts alternating current (AC) into direct current (DC). If you notice your microwave turns on and starts but does not heat anything, this diode is likely responsible. You can check the continuity of the diode with a multimeter before outright replacing it, but it is important to remember that doing any repairs on a microwave and dealing with sensitive electrical components should be done carefully and with the appropriate precautions to avoid any hazards. To replace the high-voltage diode in your microwave, disconnect it from power and allow it to discharge. Using the appropriate screwdrivers, gain access to the control panel of the microwave. Using an insulated screwdriver, release any electrical charge in the capacitor by touching it across the terminals. Then you can remove any hardware securing the diode, including the harness connecting it to the capacitor, which may be easiest done with pliers. Connect the new diode to the capacitor terminal and the securing bracket, and then reassemble your microwave before connecting it to power again.

Buzzing noise, no heating of food
Removed control panel, discharged HV capacitor. Removed old diode, tested to confirm failure. Replaced part. Other than the removal of the panel swapping the part was almost as easy as replacing a light bulb.

Maytag Microwave Diode (cable, Assembly)
PartSelect Number PS3529603
Manufacturer Part Number 6851W1A002E
Usually found kitchen appliances, this OEM-certified diode cable assembly helps to convert power from the transformer to the magnetron, to heat up your food. A damaged cable assembly will cause your appliance to heat food inconsistently or to not work at all. You might notice a burning smell or a loud buzzing sound coming from your appliance. If you do not replace a broken cable assembly, the components that produce heat in your appliance can overheat and fail. To replace your cable assembly, start by unplugging your appliance from any electrical source. Remove any protective casing from the assembly by unthreading any screws or clips. Disconnect the cable assembly from the transformer and the magnetron with pliers. Reinstalling a new cable assembly requires you to reverse the previous steps. Please keep in mind that this cable assembly is sold individually.

Maytag Microwave Capactr-mg
PartSelect Number PS11731152
Manufacturer Part Number W10850446
This authentic high-voltage capacitor stores and supplies electrical energy to the magnetron so that your microwave can heat up your food. It is a cylindrical component located inside the control area of the microwave. If the capacitor malfunctions, you may hear buzzing or humming noises, witness sparks or arcing inside the microwave, or experience inconsistent or no heating of your food. As microwaves use high voltage, exercise extreme caution during the repair process to avoid injury. Even when unplugged, the capacitor retains a significant electrical charge. To replace it, start by unplugging the microwave and removing the glass turntable and support before proceeding. Refer to the user guide for instructions on accessing the capacitor within the cabinet. Discharge the capacitor by creating a short circuit between each terminal and between each terminal and the chassis. Do so by using a pair of insulated-handle needle-nose pliers to simultaneously touch both terminals. Alternatively, you can use a well-insulated screwdriver, touching one terminal and gently sliding it forward to the other terminal, holding it there for a few seconds. Avoid touching the metal part of the tool and be aware that this can result in a loud and startling popping sound. Once discharged, you can safely disconnect the wires and remove the mounting fasteners. Please note that this OEM replacement part is sold individually.

Maytag Microwave Magnetron
Take microwave down (really a two-person job). Remove microwave cover (about 20 philips screws), discharge HV capacitor by shorting terminals to microwave case. Take photos before pulling anything apart. Remove plastic ducting covering part of the magnetron (3 philips screws). Remove old magnetron (4 Torx screws), need to disconnect small thermostat on side (2 philips screws) and replace with new magnetron. Replace HV diode (screw on one end, other end simply plugged into capacitor terminal). Put everything back together and it works fine. Read more...

Microwave not heating, working otherwise
This was an over-the-range microwave/hood, so the replacement parts were significantly cheaper than buying a new unit. Take microwave down (really a two-person job). Remove microwave cover (about 20 philips screws), discharge HV capacitor by shorting terminals to microwave case. Take photos before pulling anything apart. Remove plastic ducting covering part of the magnetron (3 philips screws).

Maytag Microwave Magnetron
Caution:
The first thing in every set of repair instructions was to discharge (short-circuit) the capacitor, as it may store large (as in lethal) amounts of electricity even when it is not connected to a power source. I had never done this, but found these instructions:
“Discharging your microwave's capacitor is absolutely essential in preventing injury to your microwave, your tools, and yourself. A capacitor stores a large amount of electricity even when your microwave is unplugged, and it must be discharged before beginning any repair.
A capacitor is discharged by creating a short circuit between each of the two capacitor terminals, and between each terminal and the chassis. The chassis is the metal mounting (bare metal surface) of the capacitor. Read these directions thoroughly before you proceed.
With your microwave unit unplugged, touch the blade of a well insulated screwdriver to one terminal. Gently slide the screwdriver forward until it reaches the other terminal, holding it there for a few seconds. Be aware that this often results in a loud and startling 'POP'.
Repeat this procedure in order to create a short circuit between each capacitor terminal and the chassis (bare metal mounting plate surface). This same method can be applied to a capacitor having three, and not two, terminals.”
I had not run my microwave in over a week, and then while my part was shipping, left my microwave 'unplugged' for more than two days, and my capacitor apparently discharged itself, although I did go through the above procedure carefully and completely - just in case.
Step-By-Step:
1. You must remove your microwave from the cabinets - it is impossible to repair otherwise. This is best accomplished with 2 strong people - my wife and I made it work, but wished for another guy.
a. While supporting the microwave, remove the two screws coming down through the cabinet above.
b. Lift the rear of the microwave as much as possible, then tilt the front down - there is a clip high on the left side, as well as the hinge/clips on the bottom.
c. If you do not lift it off the wall all at once, you may have to lift the rear even farther to remove it from the hinge/clips on the bottom.
Important Note: Always beware of the microwave door, if it is bent or broken and cannot retain a seal, the microwave not function as a safety feature to keep from releasing microwaves.
2. Remove the vent cover on the top/front of the microwave - be careful, it's plastic.
3. Remove the vent cover and light panel on the bottom of the microwave - this is several screws and some simple wire clips.
4. Remove the "shell" (top and sides) of the microwave - this is several more screws on the back. Make sure to remove the plate that is holding the cord in place on the top.
5. Remove the interface panel by the screws on the top (which had been hidden by the vent cover) - the wires can remain attached, just slide it aside.
6. Remove the metal cover on the right side at the rear; this will expose the Magnetron and the Capacitor. Remember to immediately test and discharge the capacitor!
7. After you discharge the capacitor, remove the other cover plate and the support bracket - in case you haven't noticed, this is a time and space consuming operation.

Lindsay from Nampa, ID
My microwave began suddenly making a loud humming noise while cooking food.
My microwave began suddenly making a loud harsh humming noise while cooking food. I did not let it go on long enough to know if it cooked the food or not. I did some Internet research and learned that it was likely the Magnetron. The test for this was to run the microwave for at least a minute on the lowest power setting and see if the noise cycled on and off. It did, so I (actually, my wife) ordered the part from partselect.com using the model number. I was successful in replacing the part, and we are back to microwave popcorn and quick defrost for a price that was less than a service call, however, it was time consuming, required a large work area, and access to 5 out of 6 sides of the unit. So proceed at your own discretionCaution:
