I have a Frigidaire microwave oven, only had it about 2 years. The rectifier keeps going bad in it. What is causing this to happen?

Replace the capacitor and diode together as the capacitor is probably failing, causing the diode to fail.

The only other reason the diode could be failing is the magnetron is pulling too much current, but I doubt it.
