#81 - Testing Microwave Diodes with a Multimeter

THIS VIDEO IS FOR APPLIANCE TECHNICIANS ONLY. MICROWAVE OVENS ARE DANGEROUS AND THE DIODES SHOULD ALWAYS BE TESTED OUT OF CIRCUIT WITH THE MICROWAVE UNPLUGGED FROM THE POWER SOURCE, AND THE HIGH VOLTAGE CAPACITOR DISCHARGED. How to correctly test microwave diodes for consistent and accurate readings of the diode’s forward voltage drop. This test method also accurately tests LEDs and Zener diodes.
