[1] GENERAL IMPORTANT INFORMATION This Manual has been prepared to provide Sharp Corp. Service engineers with Operation and Service Information. It is recommended that service engineers carefully study the entire text of this manual, so they will be qualified to render satisfactory customer ser- vice.
AX1500J(S) CHAPTER 2. AX1500J(S) WARNING TO SERVICE PERSONNEL The ovens contain circuitry capable of producing very high voltage and current, contact with following parts may result in a severe, possibly fatal, electrical shock. (Example) Inverter unit, Magnetron, High Voltage Harness etc.. Read the Service Manual carefully and follow all instructions.
AX1500J(S) 7. Reconnect the high voltage wire to the magnetron terminal after discharging. WARNING: Use the pliers that the portions of their handles are insulated completely to avoid an electric shock. 8. Reconnect all leads removed from components during testing. 9.
AX1500J(S) CHAPTER 3. AX1500J(S) PRECAUTIONS FOR USING LEAD-FREE SOLDER Employing lead-free solder The “Main PWB” of this model employs lead-free solder. This is indicated by the “LF” symbol printed on the PWB and in the service manual. The suffix letter indicates the alloy type of the solder. Example: Indicates lead-free solder of tin, silver and copper Using lead-free wire solder...

AX1500J(S) CHAPTER 6. AX1500J(S) TEST PROCEDURE [1] MAGNETRON (MG) TEST NEVER TOUCH ANY PART IN THE CIRCUIT WITH YOUR HAND OR AN INSULATED TOOL WHILE THE OVEN IS IN OPERATION. CARRY OUT 3D CHECKS. Isolate the magnetron from the high voltage circuit by removing all leads connected to the filament terminal. To test for an open circuit filament use an ohmmeter to make a continuity test between the magnetron filament terminals, the meter should show a reading of less than 1 ohm.

AX1500J(S) 8. Disconnect the wire leads from the fan thermal cut out. 9. Connect the ohmmeter to the red/red terminal of the convection heater and one of the terminal of the convection thermal cut-out. By doing so, the state of the relay contacts using a ohmmeter can be checked. The meter should indicate an open circuit. Because the relay contacts should be open.
AX1500J(S) [5] CHECKING TEMPERATURE IN THE CONVECTION (Oven) MODE The following test procedure should be carried out with the oven is a fully assembled condition (outer case fitted). It is difficult to measure the exact temperature in the convection oven. An accurate thermocouple type temperature tester must be used. A low priced bi-metal type thermometer is not reliable or accurate.

AX1500J(S) 3. How to check sensor (oven thermistor) performance Power ON the main body. Set the test mode to 03. (See How to set test mode on page 6-5) Press the START key. Does a measured value for the oven thermistor change as oven heating proceeds? Is the measured value within ±10 bits with respect to the EE01: Proceed to checking the oven thermistor for failure.

AX1500J(S) 3. Check in the event of no microwave cooking Check of high voltage sections is very dangerous. Therefore, after the inverter boards (M and AC3) and 230 - 240V at the primary terminal are con- firmed to be satisfactory, disconnect the main power and wait for at least one (1) minute before starting the check. Check of individual components is done with the high voltage circuit wiring disconnected.
