@sunburn3358 Good question and no there is not a code that indicates a failed diode. If you have a issue with blown fuses, it will probably be the 20 amp fuse and that is part of the high volt circuit so that could be issues with the HV transformer, magnetrons, and waveguides but you should test the diodes also because a bad diode can be what started the whole issue if the polarity is off because its allowing voltage to travel in both directions. I hope that helps.
@Alejaja97 Yes this is the recommended test from TurboChef. Some people use the continuity test but that doesn't really show you if the polarity is off so its best to use the 9V battery test.
If you have an insulation tester, you can use the 100 or 250v range to test HV diodes.
Thanks for that information and thanks for watching the channel.
No worries, great channel by the way. Really informative 👍.
@rscelectrical7091 Hey thanks so much , I appreciate it, and I am glad to have you as part of this channel.
If a diode is bad does it keep blowing a fuse or is there an error code associated with a failed diode?

Testing with a battery is the only way to test it??
