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

The cost of figuring out what of the 59 different possibilities may be
bad is not worth the time and expense. It is almost always cheaper to buy a
new one.
