High-Voltage Diode – Part Number: DE91-70063D

High-Voltage Diode
★★★★★

Part #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.

Part #DE47-20034A
This is a high limit thermostat designed for use within various models of microwaves. The purpose of a high limit thermostat is to open the circuit of the appliance when the internal temperature reaches a certain threshold, to avoid becoming a safety hazard. If this thermostat fails or is damaged, it will cause your microwave to stop operating entirely. This is not to be confused with a thermal fuse, which is a one-time use component, whereas this high-limit thermostat resets once it drops back below operating temperatures. But if your microwave has repeatedly shut off, it is defective, or if the manufacturer recommends you replace it after it is triggered, it needs to be replaced immediately for safe operation. Consider inspecting your microwave for other component damage or factors that could lead to your microwave overheating, because that is what is causing this thermostat to be triggered. Replacing the high-limit thermostat will require a flathead and/or Philips-head screwdriver to remove the cover for the electronics of the microwave. First, you will want to unplug your microwave from the wall outlet and use your screwdriver to remove the side/top cover to give you access within it. Using your user manual, locate the thermostat within the main panel assembly and disconnect it from the wire harnesses, which may require a set of pliers. Here you can inspect it and any other components for visible burn damage. You can also test this thermostat for continuity with a multimeter, to see whether it is burnt out or perhaps defective. Install the new thermostat in place and reassemble your microwave, and you can now microwave safely.

Part #DE67-40063A
The microwave light, or surface light lens, keeps the bulb in your microwave protected from getting cracked, scratched, and damaged. If your lens is defective or broken, or the bulb in your appliance is easily getting damaged, replacing the lens can be a solution. Refer to the installation instructions provided by the manufacturer for further guidance. Remember to unplug your appliance from the power source before starting this project, and wear gloves to ensure your hands are protected as a safety precaution.

Flat Bolt
Part #DE60-20066A
This part is the replacement flat bolt for your microwave. It is a Phillips-head screw, which is approximately 4 inches long.

Damper
Part #DE72-40022A
This vent damper is a genuine OEM replacement part that is compatible with various models of Samsung over-the-range microwaves with ventilation systems. It is responsible for regulating the airflow in the microwave venting system. When the microwave is not in use, the damper remains closed to prevent outside air from entering the microwave cavity. However, when you are using the microwave, the damper opens to allow air and steam from the cooking area to be vented out. This helps to remove cooking odors, steam, and excess heat from the kitchen. If the damper is damaged, corroded, or worn down, it will need to be replaced to ensure efficient ventilation and maintain the air quality in your kitchen.

Not the original type bulb

The repair was very easy, however the bulb was not the same as the original one. The original bulb had a bright setting and a low setting, but the replacement bulb was only the low setting bulb. There was no bright and dim operation. The switch on the microwave had the duel settings.

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.

Appears to work, but food not heated

The high voltage tired was shorted. I replaced it with a new one, but that did not solve the problem.

You can test the high voltage tired with a voltmeter and a 9 V battery. Search Search for it on YouTube.

You can also test the high voltage capacitor, the high-voltage transformer, and the magnetron with a multi met er. Search for the procedures on YouTube.

I tested all these high-voltage components with a low-voltage multi meter, and they all checked out OK (after replacing the diode). However the microwave still did not heat food.

When working on a microwave it is important to unplug it and also discharge the high voltage capacitor. The capacitor has a 10 megaohm resister to automatically discharge itself, but it may have failed – – so discharge it manually.

In the end I ordered a new microwave.
