Before Servicing; When Testing Is Completed - Frigidaire CFMV152KW Servicing Manual

WARNING
Microwave ovens contain circuitry capable of producing
very high voltage and current. contact with THE
following parts may result in a severe, possibly fatal,
electrical shock.
Inverter unit, that includes High Voltage Capacitor,
High Voltage Power Transformer, High Voltage Rectifier,
Heat sink etc., and Magnetron, High Voltage Harness etc..
Read the Service Manual carefully and follow all
instructions.

Before Servicing

1. Disconnect the power supply cord, and then remove
outer case.
2. Open the door and block it open.
3. Discharge high voltage capacitor.
NOTE
To discharge the high voltage capacitor, wait for 60
seconds and then short-circuit the connection of the
high-voltage capacitor (that is the connecting lead of
the high-voltage rectifier) against the chassis with the
use of an insulated screwdriver.
Whenever troubleshooting is performed, the power
supply must be disconnected. It may, in some cases, be
necessary to connect the power supply after the outer
case has been removed, in this event:
1. Disconnect the oven power supply cord and then
remove the outer case.
2. Open the door and block it open.
3. Discharge high voltage capacitor.
4. Disconnect leads to the primary of the inverter unit.
5. Ensure that these leads remain isolated from other
components and oven chassis by using insulation
tape.
6. After that procedure, reconnect the power supply
cord.
Section 1 Basic Information

When Testing Is Completed

1. Disconnect the power supply cord, and then remove
outer case.
2. Open the door and block it open.
3. Discharge high voltage capacitor.
NOTE
To discharge the high voltage capacitor, wait for 60
seconds and then short-circuit the connection of the
high-voltage capacitor (that is the connecting lead of
the high-voltage rectifier) against the chassis with the
use of an insulated screwdriver.
4. Reconnect leads to the primary of the inverter unit.
5. Reinstall the outer case (cabinet).
6. Reconnect the power supply cord after the outer
case is installed.
7. Run the oven and check all functions.
After repairing
1. Reconnect all leads removed from components
during testing.
2. Reinstall the outer case (cabinet).
3. Reconnect the power supply cord after the outer
case is installed.
4. Run the oven and 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 then
set the microwave timer for two (2) minutes. When
the two minutes has elapsed (timer at zero) care-
fully check that the water is now hot. If the water
remains cold carry out Before Servicing procedure
and re-examine the connections to the component
being tested.
