REMOVING THE HIGH-VOLTAGE DIODE
WARNING
Electrical Shock Hazard
Disconnect power before servicing.
Replace all parts and panels before
operating.
Failure to do so can result in death or
electrical shock.
1.
Unplug microwave oven or disconnect
power.
2.
Remove the microwave oven from its
mounting location (see page 2-4 for the

4.
To remove the high voltage diode:
a) Discharge the high voltage capacitor
by touching the leads of a 20,000 Ω re-
sistor from each of the capacitor leads
to the chassis ground.
b) Disconnect the high voltage diode con-
nector from the high voltage capacitor
terminal.
c) Remove the Screw and Washer from
the high voltage diode and remove the
diode from the high voltage capacitor.
5.
To remove the power resistor:
a) Disconnect the wire connectors from
the power resistor terminals.
b) Remove the screw from the power re-
sistor and remove the resistor from the
oven.
