Fixing a Mr. Coffee maker It went out the first time because of the 24V zener that was factory installed. and since I did not have time to order parts I paralleled 2 12V zeners..
Well it went out again after maybe 1-2 months, so after a few months to finally getting around to it I went around checking and sure enough one of the zeners is showing voltage forward and reverse bias but the other attached is fine.
I thought both would of been knocked out?
What should I do (other then replace) to get a robust zener?
