Testing Diode Trio

To check diode trio, remove diode assembly from rear cover. Using an ohmmeter, check each diode for continuity. Continuity should be present in one direction only. If continuity is present in both directions, or continuity does not exist in either direction, diode trio is faulty. If any diode is faulty, replace complete rectifier assembly.
