Operation THERMISTOR SIDE HEATER THERMAL CUT-OUT The thermistor is a negative temperature coefficient type. The thermal cut-out located on the thermal cover left is The temperature in the oven cavity is detected through designed to prevent damage to the side heating element the resistance of the thermistor, and then the control unit unit if an over heated condition develops in the top causes the heater relay to operate, thus the current to the...
Operation FAN MOTOR (POWER TRANSFORMER SIDE) Top Heating The fan motor drives a blade which draws external cool Element Unit air. This cool air is directed through the air vents surrounding the power transformer and cools the power transformer. This air is channelled through the oven cavity to remove steam and vapors given off from the heating foods.
Operation DAMPER OPEN-CLOSE MECHANISM 3. When oven is convection cooking: A. Damper motor is energized by touching the Usually, the damper is in the open position except during CONVECTION, TEMPERATURE and START convection cooking, reheat, speed grill, speed roast, pads. speed bake, or all cooking modes which use top / side B.
Troubleshooting and Testing Troubleshooting Guide When troubleshooting the microwave oven, it is helpful to follow the Sequence of Operation in performing the checks. Many of the possible causes of trouble will require that a specific test be performed. These tests are given a procedure letter which will be found in the “Test Procedure “section.
