Function & Importance
The high voltage diode plays a critical role in the microwave’s heating system. It works alongside the capacitor and magnetron to convert alternating current (AC) into direct current (DC), allowing the magnetron to generate microwave energy. Without a properly functioning diode, the microwave may power on but fail to heat food. Because this component handles extremely high voltage, it is essential for both efficient heating and safe microwave operation.
A faulty diode can disrupt the entire high-voltage circuit, making replacement necessary to restore normal cooking performance.
