When the negative half-period begins, the diode VD1 closes and the voltage is supplied to the magnetron M1 together with the charge accumulated on the capacitor. This leads to a doubling of the voltage and the formation of an electric field of the required intensity in the magnetron.

Resistance R1 in this case is necessary for the discharge of C1. As a rule, this resistor is located in the capacitor body. As for VD2, it provides protection in case of an increase in voltage on the capacitor C1 or a short circuit in the magnetron M1.

Before starting repairs, it is necessary to collect as much information as possible about the failed device. Ideally, this is a service manual for a specific model. In this document, the manufacturer provides all the belgium telegram data necessary data, starting from the assembly drawing (exploded view) and ending with the algorithm for troubleshooting.

Unfortunately, manufacturers are in no hurry to share this information, distributing it only among networks of certified service centers. If you manage to find technical documentation on repair, be prepared for it to be in English.

If you can't find the documentation, which will happen in most cases, don't worry, typical microwave oven malfunctions can be identified without a schematic diagram. It's enough to know what the main elements look like and where they might be located. A photo of a microwave with the casing removed will help you with this.

Appearance and location of the main elements in the microwave oven body
The intuitive nature of the process in most cases allows you to remove the casing and get to the main elements of the structure without an assembly drawing. But in this case, you need to remember the sequence of actions and try not to leave "extra" parts after reassembly.
