Letter
HIGH VOLTAGE CAPACITOR TEST
D
1. Disconnect the power supply cord, and then remove outer case.
2. Open the door and block it open.
3. Discharge high voltage capacitor. (See Warnings and Instructions on page 3-1)
4. If the capacitor is open, no high voltage will be available to the magnetron. Disconnect input
leads and check for short or open between the terminals using an ohmmeter.
Checking with a high ohm scale, if the high voltage capacitor is normal, the meter will indicate
continuity for a short time and should indicate an open circuit once the capacitor is charged. If
the above is not the case, check the capacitor with an ohmmeter to see if it is shorted between
either of the terminals and case. If it is shorted, replace the capacitor.
5. Reconnect all leads removed from components during testing.
6. Reinstall the outer case (cabinet).
7. Reconnect the power supply cord after the outer case is installed.
8. Run the oven and check all functions.

THERMAL CUT-OUT AND TEMPERATURE FUSE TEST
CAVITY THERMAL CUT-OUT TEST
1. Disconnect the power supply cord, and then remove outer case.
2. Open the door and block it open.
3. Discharge high voltage capacitor. (See Warnings and Instructions on page 3-1)
4. A continuity check across the thermal cut-out terminals should indicate a closed circuit unless
the temperature of the thermal cut-out reaches approximately 230°F(110°C). An open thermal
cut-out indicates overheating of the oven, exchange the oven thermal cut-out and check inside
of oven cavity and for improper setting of cooking time or operation of control unit. Check for
restricted air flow through the vent holes of the oven cavity, especially the cooling fan and air
guide.
5. Reconnect all leads removed from components during testing.
6. Reinstall the outer case (cabinet).
7. Reconnect the power supply cord after the outer case is installed.
8. Run the oven and check all functions.
MAGNETRON TEMPERATURE FUSE TEST
1. Disconnect the power supply cord, and then remove outer case.
2. Open the door and block it open.
3. Discharge high voltage capacitor. (See Warnings and Instructions on page 3-1)
4. A continuity check across the magnetron temperature fuse terminals should indicate a closed
circuit unless the temperature of the magnetron temperature fuse reaches approximately
302°F(150°C). An open magnetron temperature fuse indicates overheating of the magnetron.
Check for restricted air flow to the magnetron, especially the cooling fan air guide.
5. Reconnect all leads removed from components during testing.
6. Reinstall the outer case (cabinet).
7. Reconnect the power supply cord after the outer case is installed.
8. Run the oven and check all functions.
CAUTION
If the temperature fuse indicates an open circuit at room temperature, replace
temperature fuse.
