Hi Experts,

This model 721.63252 301 has gone belly up for the 2nd time in 2 years.
Both times it blew there was a pop, then a smell of overheated plastic
and then a loud hum. I took it to Sears the first time and they replaced
the
diode. It then worked fine though it had *very small usage.

Now is the second time and it is off the warranty. I opened up the oven
case and
quickly found the diode. It has the marker T3512 and H6N below it. One
end of the
diode has two silver bands around it. It doesn't look overheated.

The area near this diode has a magnetron coupled with 2 wires to a trafo and
one to a capacitor which continues through the diode to ground. A third
wire on
the trafo goes to the second terminal of the capacitor.

If I could have this diode identified , I'd greatly appreciate it.

TIA

It appears this might be a Sears Kenmore Microwave, but not positively
identified as such.
