This product comprises a 6-inch diameter heating element designed for oven and microwave combinations, incorporating looped terminal ends and offering a power output of 1250 watts. It is designed to be compatible with brands such as Hotpoint, General Electric, and Sears-Kenmore. Furthermore, this package includes a high-voltage diode, recognized as a crucial OEM replacement for GE microwave units. The diode operates by permitting electrical current to flow in a single direction, a necessary function for regulating electrical flow within the appliance. Measuring approximately 3.5 inches long, the diode is equipped with a banded end featuring a 8 ring terminal, while the opposite end includes a 1/4-inch female quick connect.
Unlike conventional electrical components, this diode is assessed by its resistance properties rather than continuity. A functioning diode presents resistance solely in one direction, signifying its proper operation. It is compatible with selected models from GE, Hotpoint, and Kenmore.
This component is generally required when the appliance ceases to produce heat.
