microwave still not heating after replacing magnetron and diode

Hi all,

Just replace the magnetron and diode on our GE Profile Spacesaver Microwave oven, and still no heating :mad:.

After reading all the posts, I thought for sure these 2 parts would solve the problem. My brother-in-law did the hands-on replacement of the parts after I did the research and ordered them from **************************.

A little more info

  • the new diode had no reading from our digital multimeter (set to diode setting) - when short the leads, we get a tone, and hooking up the diode gives no continuity reading in either direction.

Is it possible the new diode was faulty ?

Also - might anyone suggest some other components that might be suspect, or meter readings that would give more troubleshooting insight ?

Thanks very much in advance,
Joe
