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...Read more 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.

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 oper...Read moreating 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.
The microwave light, or surface light lens, keeps the bulb in your microwave protected from getting cracked, scratched, and damaged.

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.
This incandescent lamp in your microwave lights up the interior of the appliance and the cooktop if it is positioned above your stove. This allows you to easily keep an eye on your food while it cooks. It operates at 130 volts and has a power rating of 4 watts. If the bulb fails to light up or shows signs of damage like a broken filament ...Read moreor blackened appearance, it should be replaced. To remove the lamp, refer to your user manual for specific instructions. Generally, you will need a screwdriver to remove the cover or panel near the lamp and then unscrew the bulb counterclockwise to detach it from the socket. Take care when handling the lamp, using a cloth or tissue to avoid direct contact. It is important to confirm the number of lamps needed for your appliance before making a purchase since this OEM replacement part is sold individually.
This thermostat (part number DE47-20059B) is for microwaves. Thermostat DE47-20059B is a safety device that shuts off the microwave if it overheats. Because high-voltage capacitors in a microwave can retain a lethal electrical charge even when the microwave is unplugged, a service technician should install this part.
The cooking tray can also be known as a turntable tray. This tray is made of clear glass, with an outer diameter measuring approximately 13 and 1/2 inches. The tray comes with 3 round glass feet that are 1/4 inch high, to keep it stable and level when turning. The function of the cooking tray is to ensure food is cooked evenly. The most c...Read moreommon reason for needing to replace this part is if your old model has been cracked or damaged. Small chips can expand or spider into larger cracks over time. This part should fit most Samsung microwaves, but check the model number of your unit to see if this tray fits.
This charcoal filter is a genuine OEM replacement part supplied by Samsung for use in Samsung microwaves. It has dimensions of 9 inches in length and 4 inches in width. The filter is typically found beneath the microwave ventilation system. It contains activated charcoal or carbon which helps to absorb and eliminate the odors generated du...Read morering cooking or heating. It is normal for the filter to wear down over time or become saturated with food particles and debris. If the filter is no longer able to effectively eliminate odors, you will need to replace it.
This part is the replacement flat bolt for your microwave. It is a Phillips-head screw, which is approximately 4 inches long.

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.

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.
