WARNING TO SERVICE PERSONNEL

Microwave ovens contain circuitry capable of producing very high voltage and current, contact with following parts will
result in electrocution.
High voltage capacitor, High voltage transformer, Magnetron, High voltage rectifier assembly, High voltage harness.
REMEMBER TO CHECK 3D
1) Disconnect the supply.
2) Door opened, and wedged open.
3) Discharge high voltage capacitor.
WARNING: AGAINST THE CHARGE OF THE HIGH-
VOLTAGE CAPACITOR
The high-voltage capacitor remains charged about 60 sec-
onds after the oven has been switched off. Wait for 60
seconds and then short-circuit the connection of the high-
voltage capacitor (that is, of the connecting lead of the high-
voltage rectifier) against the chassis with the use of an
insulated screwdriver.
Sharp recommend that wherever possible fault-finding is
carried out with the supply disconnected. It may in, some
cases, be necessary to connect the supply after the outer
case has been removed, in this event carry out 3D checks and
then disconnect the leads to the primary of the High voltage
transformer. Ensure that these leads remain isolated from
other components and the oven chassis. (Use insulation tape
if necessary.) When the testing is completed carry out 3D
checks and reconnect the leads to the primary of the High
voltage transformer.
REMEMBER TO CHECK 4R
1) Reconnect all leads removed from components during
testing.
2) Replace the outer case (cabinet).
3) Reconnect the supply.
4) Run the oven. Check all functions.
Microwave ovens should not be run empty. To test for the
presence of microwave energy within a cavity, place a cup of
cold water on the oven turntable, close the door and set the
power to HIGH and set the microwave timer for two (2)
minutes. When the two minutes has elapsed (timer at zero)
carefully check that the water is now hot. If the water remains
cold carry out 3D checks and re-examine the connections to
the component being tested.
When all service work is completed, and the oven is fully
assembled, the microwave power output should be checked
and a microwave leakage test should be carried out.
