Cautions to Be Observed When Troubleshooting Unlike many other appliances, the microwave oven is a high voltage, high current device. Though it is free from danger in ordinary use, extreme care should be taken during repair.
Do not operate on a two wire extension cord. The microwave oven is designed to be used when grounded. It is imperative, therefore, to ensure the appliance is properly grounded before beginning repair work. 7.2. Inverter Warnings DANGER, HIGH VOLTAGE AND HIGH TEMPERATURE (HOT/LINE) OF THE INVERTER POWER SUPPLY (U) This high voltage inverter power supply handles very high voltage and current for the magnetron tube.

grounded it will expose very high voltages and cause extreme DANGER! Be sure that the inverter circuit is properly grounded via the inverter earth bracket. Figure 2 Grounding of the inverter circuit board WARNING! DISCHARGE THE HIGH VOLATGE CAPACITORS For about 30 seconds after the oven is turned off, an electric charge remains in the high voltage capacitors in the inverter power supply circuit board.
Discharging the high voltage capacitors WARNING There is high voltage present with high current capabilities in the circuits of the primary and secondary windings, choke coil and heat sink of the inverter. It is extremely dangerous to work on or near these circuits with the oven energized. DO NOT measure the voltage in the high voltage circuit including the filament voltage of the magnetron.
Page 29
WARNING When the 10A 250V fuse is blown due to the operation of the short switch, the primary latch switch and short switch must be replaced. It is also important to change the power relay 1 (RY1) when the continuity test shows shorted contacts. 1.
When the appliance is operated with the door hinges or magnetron fixed incorrectly, the microwave leakage can reach more than 5mW/cm . After repair or exchange, it is very important to check if the magnetron and the door hinges are correctly fixed. 7.7.
Removal of the magnetron 8.2. Inverter power supply (U) 1. Discharge the high voltage capacitors. 2. Remove two screws holding the tie bar. 3. Unplug the H.V. Lead wires from the magnetron. 4. Remove the one screw holding the earth wire to the magnetron. 5.
Page 32
3. Securely connect the 3 lead wire connectors. 4. Make sure that the heat sink has enough space (gap) from the oven. Take care not to touch any lead wire to the aluminium heat sink because it is hot. Figure 2 Removal of the inverter PCB.
Disconnecting the PCB lock connector. 8.3. Digital Programmer Circuit (DPC) and membrane key board. NOTE: Ground any static electric built up on your body before handling the DPC. 1. Disconnect all connectors from the DPC. 2. Remove the two screws holding the escutcheon base and slide the escutcheon base upward slightly.
Grounding of the stainless facia 8.4. Low voltage transformer and/or power relays (RY1) Note Be sure to ground your body to discharge any static before handling the DPC. 1. Using a solder wick or a de-soldering tool and a 30W soldering iron, carefully remove all solder from the terminal pins of the low voltage transformer and/or power relays.
2. With all of the terminal pins cleaned and separated from the DPC contacts, remove the defective transformer/power relays and install the new components making sure that the terminal pins are inserted completely. Carefully re solder all terminal contacts carefully. Note Do not use a soldering iron or de soldering tool of more than 30 watts on DPC contacts...
Removing the fan motor. 8.6. Door disassembly 1. Remove door C from door E by carefully pulling outward starting from the upper right hand corner using a flat blade screwdriver. 2. Remove four screws holding the door E to the door A assembly. 3.
Page 38
2. Adjust so that the door has no play between the inner door surface and the oven front surface. If the door assembly is not mounted properly, microwave power may leak from the clearance between the door and oven. 3. Perform the microwave leakage test. Figure 7 Disassembly of the door.
Adjusting the door hinge. 8.7. Turntable Motor 1. Remove the motor cover by breaking off at the 8 spots indicated by the arrows. 2. Disconnect the two lead wires connected to the turntable motor. 3. Remove the turntable motor by removing the two screws. Note: After breaking off the motor cover, make sure that cut-off portions are properly trimmed off or bent inside so that no sharp edges are exposed.

Page 44
3. Test the continuity of the switches with the door open and closed with an ohm meter on the lowest scale. Normal continuity readings should be as followed. Door Open Door Closed Primary Latch infinite (Close) Switch (Open) Secondary infinite (Close) Latch switch (Open)
9.4. Push Button Keyboard Check the continuity between the switch terminals, by tapping an appropriate pad on the keyboard. The keypad matrix is shown on P.28. 9.5. Inverter Power Supply Caution DO NOT try to repair this inverter power supply). Replace as a whole H.V. Inverter Unit.
Figure 3 9.6. Inverter Power Supply Unit Warning Do not attempt to make any measurements in the high voltage circuitry of the inverter or magnetron. See troubleshooting of the inverter circuit and magnetron on P.19 to determine if the inverter power supply is still functioning. 9.7.
5. T1 cooking switches the cooking time T2. 6. The cooking time T2 appears in the display window. If the following times appear the steam sensor is functioning normally. T1 TIME T2 TIME 1 MIN 30 SEC - 4 MIN 8 SEC - 23 SEC 10.

recommended to test the magnetron using the simple method outlined below. Necessary equipment: 1 litre beaker. Glass thermometer. Wrist watch or stop watch. NOTE: Check the line voltage under load. Low voltage will lower the magnetron output. Take the temperature readings and heating time as accurate as possible. 1.
