LG Microwave Oven
 

This microwave stopped heating. I tested the elctrical circuits and
discovered a bad diode that was connected to the capacitor. I called LG
due to no part#'s. in the manuals. I called and spoke to the parts dept.
, they told me that they can not identify the part due to too many
diodes in the system.The diode has the following info on it HVR-1X , SK
3018. Does anyone know where I might be able to purchase this diode ?

What is the voltage rating of the main capacitor (the one which will kill
you)?

The HVR-1X is a common diode for microwave ovens. It can be replace with
an NTE517:

Be carefull in testing the diode with a normal ohmeter. It seems to be open in both directions.
because of the high impedance.
Perhaps your problem is the magnetron

Mouser has an equivalent:
