This high voltage powers the magnetron to heat the food. If the diode burns out the magnetron won t receive enough voltage to operate preventing the microwave from heating. The diode converts the a c power output of the transformer to d c doubling the voltage to nearly 5 000 volts. If the microwave turns on but does not heat checking a few settings and the installation will help resolve the issue.
