GE Appliances WB27X1160 Microwave High Voltage Diode

This genuine OEM diode restores proper heating performance by ensuring your microwave’s high-voltage circuit converts power efficiently and safely.

When a microwave stops heating but still appears to run normally, the issue is often a failed high-voltage diode. This component is responsible for directing electrical current in a single direction so the magnetron can generate heat. Replacing a worn or shorted diode can immediately restore full cooking performance. Installation typically involves accessing the high-voltage section of the microwave, so basic electrical safety precautions are essential, and discharging the capacitor is strongly recommended before replacement.
