Rectifier (Sidekick)

  1. Check continuity between upper and lower rectifier bodies and each diode lead as shown. Reverse ohmmeter probes, ensuring one-way continuity at each diode.
  2. Ensure one-way continuity between both leads of diode trio. Replace rectifier if check is not satisfactory. See Fig 1.

  3. In one direction there should be approximately 10 ohms of resistance. In other direction reading should be an infinite, indicating no continuity. If not, replace rectifier.
