I'm trying to locate and purchase a diode that is the cause of my GE Washer Machine WWSE5240G0WW with a Drive Motor WH20X10058 Control Board not working (See pictures).
I need help identifying the features of this burnt diode.
My appreciation in advance

Could be equal to a 1N4007 or could be a zener....cannot see any number on the diode itself or any board marking.

Either way, expect additional damage somewhere in the vicinity.

Thank you Bluejets, I was leaning toward 1N4007, not sure about a Zener version.
Your analysis is spot on and in that regard, I took that into account and for good measure made a comprehensive replaced the

Washer Tub Bearing Replaces GE WH2X1198​

Shaft & Tube Assembly WH38X10015​

WH23X10030 Washing Machine Pump​

Along with other elements that essentially make the washer look like new, I ran several cycles and the electronic panel sent the commands as expected however the agitator didn't spin since the motor itself wasn't running, I removed it and found the burnt diode, any cause that provoked the short I think it has been corrected with the installation of the new part especially the new OEM shaft assembly and water pump.

I think Bluejets was talking about damage to other components "in the vicinity" on that same control board. It looks to me like one of the legs on that diode appears to have a cold solder joint on it, which may have been a factor in it burning itself up. Is the diode actually burnt? Can't really see it, just because of how the pictures were taken. The leg closest to the edge of the board. Is it still soldered adequately? Have you removed it to test it? Can we see the other side of the board?

Indeed H2814D I understood, I replaced all the major components that could've impacted the blowout of the element.
I haven't tested it but there were carbon residues an piece of the insulation missing (see attachments)
Thank you for the observation
