• TECHNICAL DATA SHEET •
STANDARD TEST LOAD
Test load will be 1 liter (1000 ml) of water with an initial
temperature of 59°F~75°F in a 1000 ml beaker (WB64X73 or
Robonar 14882).
PERFORMANCE TEST
1. Record initial water temperature.
2. Run at high power for 2:03.
3. Record end water temperature.
The minimum difference between the initial and ending
temperature should be: 30°F @ 120 V
INTERLOCKS (DOOR Latch Switches)
Interlocks are designed as follows:
Primary - Top switch operated by top latch pawl connected to
line (L) leg.
120 VAC, 60 Hz.
10.5 Amps. (1200 Watts)
15 Amps
108-132 VAC.
HOW TO TEST INTERLOCKS

. Make repairs to bring the unit into
MONITOR SWITCH
The monitor switch "B" is located between the top and bottom
interlocks. The monitor switch is operated indirectly by the
bottom latch pawl.
HOW TO TEST INTERLOCK SYSTEM
1. Disconnect power, open control panel, and discharge
capacitor.
2. Disconnect monitor switch leads, and test at terminals:
• Door Closed - ∞ Ω
• Door Open - 0 Ω
3. Reconnect switch wiring.
4. Test Circuit Operation:
A) Connect temporary jumper across relay contacts and
primary switch to simulate shorted switch contacts. Locate
convenient connections in circuit to be certain COM and
N.O. terminals are used.
B) Connect OHM meter (Low Scale) across the two line
terminals of appliance power cord.
Use screw head close to capacitor to insure ground
Continuity must show:
metal contact.
• Door Closed - Some Ω
• Door Open - 0 Ω
C) Remove 15 Amp. Fuse - Circuit must open (∞ Ohms).
If not, check wiring of monitor and interlock circuits.
5. Warning: After test, remove temporary jumpers and
reconnect monitor switch leads.

SERVICING THIS APPLIANCE AND RECONNECT ALL GROUNDING DEVICES.
HOW TO ADJUST INTERLOCKS
The switch housing is adjustable for door fit and switch
operation.
1. Disconnect power, open control panel, and discharge
capacitor.
2. Loosen switch housing mounting screw at enlarged hole in
vertical flange.
3. Adjust each switch housing for proper switch operation, and
door fit. Retighten screws.
4. IMPORTANT - CHECK FOR MICROWAVE LEAKAGE
AFTER ANY ADJUSTMENT.
CAUTION
When safety interlocks and monitor switches are repaired or
replaced, check microwave leakage and distance between
door and cavity of microwave as described below.
1. Use a piece of paper 0.02 inch thick, 1 inch wide and
4 inches long (a dollar bill folded in half twice lengthwise is
about this size).
2. Open the door and place the paper between the door and
front frame of the oven cavity.
3. Close the door to capture it between the door and the cavity
front frame.
4. Draw the paper from between the door and cavity (check at
bottom and sides also) if there is resistance to the removal
of the paper then the distance is correct.
5. Perform microwave leakage check, if leakage does not
exceed 4 mw/cm
