Troubleshooting; Electrical Malfunction - Samsung GE87W Service Manual

6. Troubleshooting

1. CHECK GROUNDING BEFORE CHECKING FOR TROUBLE.
2. BE CAREFUL OF THE HIGH VOLTAGE CIRCUIT.
3. DISCHARGE THE HIGH VOLTAGE CAPACITOR.
4. WHEN CHECKING THE CONTINUITY OF THE SWITCHES OR TRANSFORMER, DISCONNECT ONE LEAD
WIRE FROM THESE PARTS AND THEN CHECK CONTINUITY WITHOUT THE POWER SOURCE ON. TO
DO OTHERWISE MAY RESULT IN A FALSE READING OR DAMAGE TO YOUR METER.
5. DO NOT TOUCH ANY PART OF THE CIRCUIT OR THE CONTROL CIRCUIT BOARD, SINCE STATIC DIS-
CHARGE MAY DAMAGE IT. ALWAYS TOUCH GROUND WHILE WORKING ON IT TO DISCHARGE ANY
STATIC CHARGE BUILT UP.

6-1 Electrical Malfunction

SYMPTOM
Oven is dead.
Fuse is OK.
No display and no operation
at all .
No display and no operation
at all.
Fuse is blown.
Oven does not accept key
input (Program)
Timer starts countdown but
no microwave oscillation.
(No heat while oven lamp
and fan motor turn on.)
PRECAUTION
CAUSE
1. Open or loose lead wire harness
2. Open thermal cutout (Magnetron)
3. Open low voltage transformer
4. Defective Ass'y PCB
1. Shorted lead wire harness
2. Defective primary latch switch (NOTE 1)
3. Defective monitor switch (NOTE1)
4. Shorted H.V.Capacitor
5. Shorted H.V.Transformer (NOTE2)
NOTE 1: All of these switches must be replaced at the same time. (refer to
adjustment instructions) Check continuity of power relay contacts and
if it has continuity, replace power relay also.
NOTE 2: When H.V.Transformer is replaced, check diode and magnetron also.
1. Key input is not in-Sequence
2. Open or loose connection of membrane
key pad to Ass'y PCB
3. Shorted or open membrane panel
4. Defective Ass'y PCB
1. Off-alignment of latch switches
2. Open or loose connection of high
voltage circuit especially magnetron
filament circuit
NOTE: Large contact resistance will bring
lower magnetron filament voltage
and cause magnetron to lower
output and/or intermittent
oscillation.
3. Defective high voltage components
H.V.Transformer, H.V. Capacitor,
H.V.Diode, H.V.Fuse, Magnetron
4. Open or loose wiring of power relay
5. Defective primary latch switch
6. Defective power relay or Ass'y PCB

CORRECTIONS
Check fan motor when thermal
cutout is defective.
Check Ass'y PCB when L.V.T is
defective.
Check adjustment of primary, inte
lock monitor, power relay, door
sensing switch.
Refer to operation procedure.
Replace PCB main.
Adjust door and latch switches.
Check high voltage component
according to component test
procedure and replace if it is
defective.
Replace PCB main.
