This microwave stopped heating. I tested the elctrical circuits and discovered a bad diode that was connected to the capacitor. I called LG due to no part#'s. in the manuals. I called and spoke to the parts dept. , they told me that they can not identify the part due to too many diodes in the system.The diode has the following info on it HVR-1X , SK
3018. Does anyone know where I might be able to purchase this diode ?-- Jerry Fixall

What is the voltage rating of the main capacitor (the one which will kill you)?

The HVR-1X is a common diode for microwave ovens. It can be replace with an NTE517:
Be carefull in testing the diode with a normal ohmeter. It seems to be open in both directions.
because of the high impedance. Perhaps your problem is the magnetron
