GE JVM1750 manual Capacitor and Diode, High Voltage Transformer, To remove the capacitor and diode

Capacitor and Diode

The capacitor has an internal shunt resistor to automatically discharge the capacitor when the oven turns "off". Under normal operation, the capacitor should fully discharge within 30 seconds.

WARNING: Always be certain the capacitor is discharged before servicing. Mechanically discharge the capacitor by placing an insulated-handle screwdriver between the diode connection of the capacitor and the oven chassis ground.

Note: Use the screw head close to the capacitor to ensure ground metal contact.

To remove the capacitor and diode:

1.Remove the outer cover. (See Outer Cover.)

2.Disconnect wiring to the high voltage capacitor.

3.Remove the Phillips-head screw that attaches the capacitor and diode to the oven and remove the high voltage capacitor.

4.Disconnect the diode from the high voltage capacitor.

High Voltage Transformer

The high voltage transformer is located on the right side of the microwave oven, beneath the magnetron.

WARNING: Prior to servicing the transformer, be certain the capacitor is discharged. Manually discharge by placing an insulated-handle screwdriver between the diode connection of the capacitor and the oven chassis ground.

To remove the high voltage transformer:

1.Remove the outer cover. (See Outer Cover.)

2.Disconnect wiring to the high voltage transformer.
