Microwave Leak Test; Standard Test Load - GE JK3800DH1BB Technical Service Manual

Microwave Leak Test

1. Place 275 ml water in a 600 ml beaker (Part #:
WB64x5010).
2. Place the beaker in the center of the Clear Glass
Tray.
3. Set meter to 2450 MHz scale.
4. Turn ON for a 5 minute test.
5. Hold probe perpendicular to the surface being
tested. Scan surfaces at the rate of one inch per
second. Scan entire perimeter of door, control
panel, viewing surface of door window, and
exhaust vents.
6. Maximum leakage is 4 MW/CM2.
7. Record data on a service invoice and microwave
leakage report.
NOTE:
• Maximum allowable leakage is 5 MW/CM2. Four
MW/CM2 is used to allow for measurement and
meter accuracy.
• Inform the manufacturer of any oven found to
have emission in excess of 5 MW/CM2. Make
repairs to bring the unit into compliance at
no cost to the owner and try to determine the
cause. Instruct the owner not to use the oven
until it has been brought into compliance.

Standard Test Load

The standard test load is one liter (1000 ml) water
with a starting temperature of 59°F - 75°F in a 1,000
ml beaker. (DO NOT USE ANY OTHER LOAD OR DISH
AS RESULTS WILL VARY FROM STANDARD.)
Performance Test for Microwave
1. Use Clear Glass Tray and the beaker (Part #:
WB64x0073).
2. Record the initial water temperature.
3. Run at high power for 2:03.
4. Record the end water temperature. The
ending temperature should be: 32°F @ 120 VAC.
