Rectifier/Diode Assembly
- Using an ohmmeter, check continuity of each diode in both directions (polarity). See Fig 1 and Fig 2. If diode shows high resistance in one direction and low resistance in other direction, diode is okay.
- If diode shows low resistance in both directions, it is shorted. If diode shows high resistance in both directions, diode is open. If any diode is defective, replace rectifier assembly.
