Default diode, rectifier dead?




Can anyone confirm whether following microwave oven components are
dead
-diode hvr1x8019:tested with analog ohm meter-short both directions



** Dead for sure.

-rectifier 2x062h 8025:..open in both directions



** Probably OK.

Testing such high voltage diodes ( really a multi-diode stack ) requires a
source of voltage more than what a DMM or analogue ohm meter has available.

Try connecting a 9 volt radio battery in both directions, while monitoring
current flow with your meter.
