TOUCH CONTROL PANEL ASSEMBLY TEST
The touch control panel consists of circuits including semiconductors such as LSI,
ICs, etc. Therefore, unlike conventional microwave ovens, proper maintenance
can not be performed with only a voltmeter and ohmmeter.
In this service manual, the touch control panel assembly is divided into two units,
Control Unit and Key Unit, and also the Control unit is divided into two units, CPU
unit and Power unit, and troubleshooting by replacement is described according to
the symptoms indicated.
1. Key Unit Note : Check key unit ribbon connection before replacement.
The following symptoms indicate a defective key unit. Replace the key unit.
a) When touching the pads, a certain pad produces no signal at all.
b) When touching a number pad, two figures or more are displayed.
c) When touching the pads, sometimes a pad produces no signal.
2.
Control Panel
The following symptoms indicate a defective control unit.Before replacing the
control unit perform the key unit test (Procedure N) to determine if control unit is faulty.
2-1 In connection with pads
a) When touching the pads, a certain group of pads do not produce a signal.
b) When touching the pads, no pads produce a signal.
2-2 In connection with indicators
a) At a certain digit, all or some segments do not light up.
b) At a certain digit, brightness is low.
c) Only one indicator does not light up.
d) The corresponding segments of all digits do not light up; or they continue to light up.
e) Wrong figure appears.
f) A certain group of indicators do not light up.
g) The figure of all digits flicker.
2-3 Other possible troubles caused by defective control unit.
a) Buzzer does not sound or continues to sound.
b) Clock does not operate properly.
c) Cooking is not possible.
d) Proper temperature measurement is not obtained.
N
KEY UNIT TEST
If the display fails to clear when the STOP/CLEAR pad is depressed, first verify the flat ribbon cable
is making good contact, verify that the door sensing switch (stop switch) operates properly; that is the
contacts are closed when the door is closed and open when the door is open. If the door sensing switch
(stop switch) is good, disconnect the flat ribbon cable that connects the key unit to the control unit and
make sure the door sensing switch is closed (either close the door or short the door sensing switch
connecter). Use the Key unit matrix indicated on the control panel schematic and place a jumper wire
between the pins that correspond to the STOP/CLEAR pad making momentary contact. If the control
unit responds by clearing with a beep the key unit is faulty and must be replaced. If the control unit does
not respond, it is faulty and must be replaced. If a specific pad does not respond, the above method
may be used (after clearing the control unit) to determine if the control unit or key pad is at fault.
CARRY OUT 4R CHECKS.
