HIGH VOLTAGE CAPACITOR TEST
D
1. Disconnect the power supply cord, and then remove outer case.
2. Open the door and block it open.
3. Discharge high voltage capacitor. (See Warnings and Instructions on page 3-1)
4. If the capacitor is open, no high voltage will be available to the magnetron. Disconnect input
leads and check for short or open between the terminals using an ohmmeter. Checking with
a high ohm scale, if the high voltage capacitor is normal, the meter will indicate continuity for a
short time and should indicate an open circuit once the capacitor is charged. If the above is not
the case, check the capacitor with an ohmmeter to see if it is shorted between either of the
terminals and case. If it is shorted, replace the capacitor.
5. Reconnect all leads removed from components during testing.
6. Reinstall the outer case (cabinet).
7. Reconnect the power supply cord after the outer case is installed.
8. Run the oven and check all functions.

CAVITY TEMPERATURE FUSE TEST
1. Disconnect the power supply cord, and then remove outer case.
2. Open the door and block it open.
3. Discharge high voltage capacitor. (See Warnings and Instructions on page 3-1)
4. A continuity check across the cavity temperature fuse terminals should indicate a closed circuit
unless the temperature of the cavity temperature fuse reaches approximately 302°F(150°C). An
open cavity temperature fuse indicates overheating of the oven, exchange the cavity
temperature fuse and check inside of oven cavity and for improper setting of cooking time or
operation of control unit. Check for restricted air flow through the vent holes of the oven cavity,
especially the cooling fan and air guide.
5. Reconnect all leads removed from components during testing.
6. Reinstall the outer case (cabinet).
7. Reconnect the power supply cord after the outer case is installed.
8. Run the oven and check all functions.
C/T FUSE TEST
1. Disconnect the power supply cord, and then remove outer case.
2. Open the door and block it open.
3. Discharge high voltage capacitor. (See Warnings and Instructions on page 3-1)
4. A continuity check across the C/T fuse terminals should indicate a closed circuit unless the
temperature of the C/T fuse reaches approximately 302°F (150°C). An open C/T fuse indicates
overheating of the magnetron. Check for restricted air flow to the magnetron, especially the
cooling fan air guide.
If temperature fuse indicates an open circuit at room temperature, replace fuse.
