Inverter power supply (U)

DO NOT try to REPAIR H.V. Inverter power supply
(U).Replace complete H.V. Inverter(U) Unit.
WARNING: HIGH VOLTAGE
Test if failure codes H95, H97 or H98 appear when performing
the following procedure. It is recommended to use an AC line
input current ammeter for testing.
Test 1
1. With the oven unit's AC power supply cord is unplugged
from the wall outlet, unplug the 2 pin H.V. connector CN703
from the magnetron tube.
2. Place 1 liter of water load into oven cavity.

Temperature thermistor

The thermistor that is attached to the magnetron detects the
temperature of the magnetron and will stop magnetron
operation when overheating is detected. A normal thermistor´s
resistance is 35KΩ to 110KΩ for an ambient temperature range
of 10-30 degree C.
If the resistance reading is out of the range stated here, the
thermistor is detective and must be replaced.
It is also possible to display thermistor level by taking the
following steps.
For GD462M & GD452W model
1. Program the DPC into TEST MODE (Plug-in oven → press
Clock button once → press Timer button once → press
Start button once → press Micro Power button once).
2. Program oven at Standing Time for 1 minute and press
[Start] button.
3. Press Sensor Reheat
will shown on the display.
The normal reading should be in the range of 16-230.
For GT462M models
1. Program the DPC into TEST MODE (Plug-in oven → press
pad twice → press Start
Timer
Micro Power pad once).
2. Program oven at Standing Time for 1 minute and press
[Start] pad.
3. Press Reheat twice, the thermistor level reading will
shown on the display.
The normal reading should be in the range of 16-230.
