In post 9 the device across the capacitor is a short protector. The other device from the capacitor to the ground lug is the HV diode. The short protector is not in all microwave ovens & they will work with out them. Description of the circuit of a typical oven, & circuit of a typical oven.View attachment 73900 View attachment 73901 View attachment 73902

Sorry b1u3sf4n09, looks like you were right after all!

I learn something new every day. Always thought those diodes were for part of a doubler....

Cheers,
Matt
