Default Microwave - fuse blows

Hello friends,

is here someone around who is experienced in microwaves?

I've got a panasonic "dimension 4" with a blown 10-A-fuse. Replacing it
allowes the display to work, starting a cooking process blows the fuse
again.

I found that the protection diode at the high-voltage-capacitor reads a
resistance of apx. 100 Ohms both directions (should be infinite due to
repair manual).

Is there a chance to make the microwave work again by replacing the
diode - or is the diode damaged for any other component (magnetron or
so) is gone?

Greetings - and all the best wishes for the next year
