Removing The High Voltage Transformer - KitchenAid KHMS105E Service Manual

REMOVING THE HIGH VOLTAGE TRANSFORMER

WARNING
Personal Injury Hazard
Disconnect from the electrical supply be-
fore servicing the unit. Failure to do so
could result in death or electrical shock.
CAUTION: Because of the weight and size of
the microwave oven, two people are required
to safely move and install it. Failure to do so
could result in personal injury.
1. Disconnect the electrical supply to the
microwave oven.
2. Refer to page 2-28 for accessing the high
voltage components.
WARNING
Personal Injury Hazard
Disconnect from power supply before ser-
vicing. Discharge the capacitor using a
20,000-ohm discharge resistor, or an insu-
lated plastic-handle screwdriver to short
across the capacitor terminals.
3. Discharge the high voltage capacitor.
4. Unplug the wire connector going to the
line fuse.
5. Remove the fan motor assembly from the
unit (see the illustration on page 2-19 for
the procedure).
6. Unplug the five high-voltage transformer
wire connectors.
7 Remove the four mounting screws from
the transformer. NOTE: Support the trans-
former with one hand while you remove
the screws with the other so that the
transformer does not fall, as you remove
it.
8. Mount the new high voltage transformer
to the rear panel and then reassemble the
microwave oven.
