Diode Assembly

  1. Check each diode with ohmmeter in both directions. If diodes show large resistance in one direction and no resistance in the other direction, diodes are normal. See Fig 1 or Fig 2 .
  2. If diodes show small resistance in both directions, it is shorted. If large resistance is shown in both directions, diode is open. If any diode is defective, replace rectifier assembly.
