The aluminium heat sink becomes very hot when the during operation and allow time for it to cool down inverter circuit operates. Never touch this heat sink before servicing the microwave oven. figure 4 HV Inverter warning TORS WARNING For about 30 seconds after the oven is turned off, an INVERTER POWER SUPPLY GROUNDING electric charge remains in the high voltage capacitors on the inverter circuit board.
4. Short the magnetron input terminal to the micro- wave oven chassis using an insulated handle screw- IMPORTANT NOTICE driver. When the microwave oven is operating the following 5. Always touch the microwave oven chassis and then components carry a potential above 240VAC. the magnetron terminal.

Carefully remove all solder from the terminal pins of and membrane key board. the low voltage transformer / power relays using a NOTE: Ground any static electric from your body before 30W soldering iron and a solder sucker. handling the digital programmer circuit (DPC).
After replacing component parts of the door, fol- low the instructions below for proper installation and adjustment of the door, this is to prevent microwave leakage. 1. When mounting the door to the oven, adjust the door parallel to the bottom of the oven face plate by adjusting the upper hinge.
10 Component Test Procedure Caution 3. Check the continuity between each filament termi- nal and the magnetron case, a good magnetron ∞ • The inverter circuit operates at high voltages. indicates infinite resistance. • Never attempt to measure the high voltage on the inverter circuit.

12 Troubleshooting Guide Caution 1. Do not try to repair the H.V. Inverter power supply. Replace the inverter circuit board as a complete unit. 2. Do not adjust the preset volume on the Inverter. It is very dangerous to repair or adjust without special test equiptment, the inverter handles very high voltage and current.

12.3 roubleshooting (other problems) Symptom Cause Correction 1. Microwave output is low. 1. Decrease in power source volt- Consult electrician. Oven takes a long time to cook food. age. Refer to output test procedures. 2. Open or loose wiring of magne- tron filament circuit causing inter- mittent oscillation.
12.6 Troubleshooting inverter by microwave oven input current This is an alternative way to test the inverter circuit by monitoring the input current to the microwave oven. The microwave oven must be set in self test mode to activate the self diagnostic failure code system. Alternate way to troubleshoot oven with AC Ampere meter used H95, 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.
