I discharged the Capaciter and checked it the best I can with what equipment I have it seems to be building voltage with the test meter on it. the one thing I supect is the Diode thats on the capaciter as I show this open when checking it with a volt meter ( its open both ways.) will this make the microwave humm and not cook even though every thing else on it works fine. or is there some way to test these componts other than what I have done could I be getting a false reading on my meter since these are higher voltage componts?:confused:
