Troubleshooting of Inverter Circuit (U) and Magnetron NEW H.V.
This oven is programmed with a self diagnostics failure code system which will help for troubleshooting. H97, H98, and H99 are the provided failure
codes to indicate magnetron and inverter circuit problem areas. This section explains failure codes of H97, H98, and H99. First, you must program
the DPC by pressing Clock , Time , Start , Power Level . Program unit for operation. H97, H98, H99 appears in display window a short time after start
key is pressed and there is no microwave oscillation.
H97, H98, or H99 appears in display
window
Check magnetron filament continuity
OK refer to componenet test
procedures
Check Inverter input AC voltages at
CN702
AC 120V unplug CN702 and measure
at lead wire harness side
Check inverter control signal at
CN701, pin 1 and 2
AC3V unplug CN701 and measure at
lead wire harness side
NOTE: After check, unplug unit to reset to normal operation mode.
Alternate way to troubleshoot oven with AC Ampere meter used
H97, H98, H99 appears in display window a short time after start key is pressed and no microwave oscillation with AC Ampere
meter used for troubleshooting
H97, H98, or H99 appears in display

Check oven input AC amperes
measure at oven plug

NOTE: DO NOT try to repair this Inverter
Power Supply (U) and also DO NOT
RE-ADJUST PRESET VOLUME on
the board. It is very dangerous to
repair or adjust without sufficient test
equipment because this circuit han-
dles very high voltage and very large
current. Off alignment of inverter
board operation is dangerous.
Operating a misaligned Inverter cir-
cuit is dangerous due to the very high
voltage and current that is produced
by this board. Defective boards must
be replaced with a new one.
* Check magnetron filament for open or short
to casing before proceeding to determine a
good magnetron.
