Troubleshooting
PROCEDURE
LETTER
6)
After approximately 16 seconds, microwave energy is produced.
If ERROR is displayed or the oven does not turn off, replace the AH sensor or check the control
unit, refer to explanation below. If the oven stops after 5 minutes and no ERROR code is dis-
played, then the AH sensor is normal. Check other parts except the AH sensor.
To determine if the sensor is defective, the simplest method is to replace it with a new replacement
sensor.
1.
Disconnect the power supply cord, and then disassemble as per "Drawer Microwave Disassem-
bly" Page 4-6.
2.
Open the drawer and block it open.
3.
Discharge high voltage capacitor.
4.
Remove the AH sensor.
5.
Install the new AH sensor.
6.
Reconnect all leads removed from components during testing.
7.
Re-install the covers.
8.
Reconnect the power supply cord after the covers are installed.
9.
Reconnect the oven to the power supply and check the sensor cook operation as follows:
1)
Fill approximately 200 milliliters (7.2 oz) of tap water in a 1000 milliliter measuring cup.
2)
Place the container on the center of tray in the oven cavity.
3)
Close the drawer.
4)
Touch the TIMER/CLOCK pad once, the POWER LEVEL pad twice and the START pad once.
And touch the number pads 1 once and the number pad 4 once.
5)
The control panel is in automatic Sensor operation.
6)
The oven turns off automatically, and the time for detecting moisture will be displayed.
If new sensor does not operate properly, the problem is with the control unit, and refer to explanation
be-low.
1.
Disconnect the power supply cord, and then disassemble as per "Drawer Microwave Disassem-
bly" Page 4-6.
2.
Open the drawer and block it open.
3.
Discharge high voltage capacitor.
4.
Disconnect the sensor connector that is mounted to control panel.
5.
Then connect the dummy resistor circuit (see ¿ g.) to the sensor connector of control panel.
6.
Disconnect the leads to the primary of the power transformer.
7.
Ensure that these leads remain isolated from other components and oven chassis by using insu-
lation tape.
8.
After that procedure, re-connect the power supply cord.
9.
Check the sensor cook operation proceed as follows:
1)
Close the door. Touch the TIMER/CLOCK pad once, the POWER LEVEL pad twice and the
START pad once. And touch the number pads 1 once and the number pad 4 once.
2)
The control panel is in the sensor cooking operation.
3)
After approximately 25 seconds, push plunger of select switch for more than 3 seconds. This
condition is same as judgement by AH sensor.
4)
After approximately 3 seconds, the display shows " X X . X X " which is the time for detecting
moisture. If the above is not the case, the control unit is probably defective. If the above is
proper, the AH sensor is probably defective. If the above is proper, the AH sensor is probably
defective.
10.
Disconnect the power supply cord, and then remove covers.
11.
Open the drawer and block it open.
12.
Discharge high voltage capacitor.
13.
Disconnect the dummy resistor circuit from the sensor connector of control panel.
