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 ? -- Jerry Fixall |

Does anyone know where I might be able to purchase this diode ? The HVR-1X is a common diode for microwave ovens. It can be replace with an NTE517: http://nte01.nteinc.com/nte/NTExRefS...5ce85256e78005 6e56f?CreateDocument |

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 Jomi |

Mouser has an equivalent: http://www.mouser.com/search/Product...lkey526-NTE517 http://www.nteinc.com/specs/500to599/pdf/nte517.pdf (datasheet) - Franc Zabkar -- Please remove one 'i' from my address when replying by email. |
