2. After adjustment, check the following.
1. In and out play of door remains less than 0.5mm when in the
latched position. First check upper position of latch hook, pushing
and pulling upper portion of door toward the oven face.
Then check lower portion of the latch hook, pushing and pulling
lower portion of the door toward the oven face. Both results (play in
the door) should be less than 0.5mm.
2. The door sensing switch and secondary interlock switch interrupt
the circuit before the door can be opened.
3. Monitor switch contacts close when door is opened.
4. Re-install outer case and check for microwave leakage around
door with an approved microwave survey meter. (Refer to Micro-
wave Measurement Procedure.)

[14] DOOR REPLACEMENT

1. REMOVAL
1. Disconnect the power supply cord.
2. Open the door slightly.
3. Insert a putty knife (thickness of about 0.5mm) into the gap
between the choke cover and door frame as shown in Figure C-5 to
free engaging parts.
4. Pry the choke cover by inserting a putty knife as shown Figure C-5.
5. Release choke cover from door panel.
6. Now choke cover is free.
NOTE: When carrying out any repair to the door, do not bend or
warp the slit choke (tabs on the door panel assembly) to
prevent microwave leakage.
7. Release two (2) pins of door panel from two (2) holes of upper and
lower oven hinges by lifting up.
8. Now, door panel is free from oven cavity.

NOTE: After any service to the door;
1) Make sure that door sensing switch and secondary interlock
switch are operating properly. (Refer to chapter "Test Proce-
dures".).
2) An approved microwave survey meter should be used to
assure compliance with proper microwave radiation emission
limitation standards.
3. After any service, make sure of the following:
1. Door latch heads smoothly catch latch hook through latch holes
and that latch head goes through center of latch hole.
2. Deviation of door alignment from horizontal line of cavity face plate
is to be less than 1.0mm.
3. Door is positioned with its face pressed toward cavity face plate.
4. Check for microwave leakage around door with an approved micro-
wave survey meter. (Refer to Microwave Measurement Procedure.)
NOTE: The door on a microwave oven is designed to act as an
electronic seal preventing the leakage of microwave
energy from oven cavity during cook cycle. This function
does not require that door be air-tight, moisture (conden-
sation)-tight or light-tight. Therefore, occasional appear-
ance of moisture, light or sensing of gentle warm air
movement around oven door is not abnormal and do not
of themselves indicate a leakage of microwave energy
from oven cavity.
