Door Replacement - Electrolux EW27MO55HSA Technical & Service Manual

Door Replacement

1. Disconnect the oven power supply cord and remove
outer case.
2. Open the door and block it open.
3. Discharge the high voltage capacitor.
To discharge the high voltage capacitor, wait for 60
seconds and then short-circuit the connection of
the high-voltage capacitor (that is the connecting
lead of the high-voltage rectifier) against the
chassis with the use of an insulated screwdriver.
4. Close the door.
5. Remove two (2) door springs from door cam right,
oven hinge right, door cam left and oven hinge left.
6. Release the door cams right and left from the right
and left door cam pins of the door.
7. Remove the door cams right and left from the oven
cavity front plate.
8. Open the door assembly at an angle of more than
90½° with the oven cavity front plate.
9. To release the right and left door hinge pins of the
door assembly from the oven hinges right and left,
slide the door assembly to the left. When removing
the door assembly, hold the door assembly to
prevent it from falling.
10. Now, the door assembly is free.
NOTE: When the individual parts are replaced, refer to
"Door Disassembly".
Door Assembly Re-install
1. On reinstalling the door assembly, insert oven hinges
right and left into the right and left door hinge pins.
2. Insert and hook the door cams right and left to the
right and left door cam pins.
3. Reinstall the two (2) door springs between the door
cams and the oven hinges right and left.
After any service to the door:
(A) Make sure that the door sensing switch and the
secondary interlock switch are operating properly.
(Refer to chapter "Test Procedures".)
(B) An approved microwave survey meter should be
used to assure compliance with proper microwave
radiation emission limitation standards.
Component Teardown
The door on a microwave oven is designed to act
as an electronic seal preventing the leakage of
microwave energy from the oven cavity during the
cook cycle. This function does not require that the
door be airtight, moisture (condensation)-tight
or light-tight. Therefore, occasional appearance
of moisture, light or sensing of gentle warm air
movement around the oven door is not abnormal
and do not of themselves indicate a leakage of
microwave energy from the oven cavity. If such
were the case, the oven could not be equipped
with a vent, the very purpose of which is to exhaust
the vapor-laden air from the oven cavity.
