Now you have what we call a Dark Emitting Diode.
It's DED Jim.
You don't put the leakage detector inside the microwave. :-)
We were measuring milliwatts, not the kilowatts you were feeding your LED.
If you replace the LED with a motor, the motor would be fine, but the microwave diode would probably fry because they aren't designed for kilowatts. Cutting the leads shorter (so they are no longer resonant) would reduce the current in the diode to something it could handle. Whether that is enough to drive the motor is the question. Using batteries seems so much simpler. :-)

seconds, then nothing, and a battery won't light it anymore.
