6-3 Part Check List
Symptom
Microwave H.V.Transformer

not work.
H.V.Capacitor
H.V.Diode
Fan motor Fan motor
does not rotate.
Samsung Electronics
Check the terminals with a multimeter to see
if the heater circuit is open.
Check the H. V. Diode for continuity in the reverse and
normal directions using megger. If there is continuity
in the reverse direction, the H. V. Diode may be faulty.
(In this event H. V. Capacitor will be hot)
Connect megger leads to quick-connect terminal &
body of the magnetron if there is continuity, the
magnetron may be faulty. (In this case the main
fuse will be blown)
If there is a crack in the magnetron antenna (dome),
the magnetron is defective.
Check if the screws are secured well to the door hinge.
and pressing it ON and OFF repeatedly.
Check the continuity of primary coil and secondary
coil. If there is no continuity, H. V. Transformer is
defective.
Check the continuity of capacitor.
If the capacitor shorts, the fuse blows
Related Parts
1) Check if the primary and secondary coil is open or shorted.
* Resistance of primary coil: Approx. 1.38 Ω
Resistance of secondary coil: Approx. 104.0 Ω
2) Check if the MGT Heater Voltage is approx. 3.3V AC.
Caution : High voltage !
Check continuity of capacitor between two
terminals with H.V.wire lead removed.
The resistance should be approx. 10MW, it's failure.
1) If there is no continuity in forward, direction the H.V.Diode is open.
2) If there is continuity in reverse direction, it's shorted.
Check if the motor coil is open.
