PROCEDURE
LETTER
D HIGH VOLTAGE CAPACITOR TEST
CARRY OUT 3D CHECKS.
A. Isolate the high voltage capacitor from the circuit.
B. Continuity check must be carried out with measuring instrument which is set to the highest
resistance range.
C. A normal capacitor shows continuity for a short time (kick) and then a resistance of about 10M
after it has been charged.
D. A short-circuited capacitor shows continuity all the time.
E. An open capacitor constantly shows a resistance about 10 M
resistance.
F. When the internal wire is opened in the high voltage capacitor shows an infinite resistance.
G. The resistance across all the terminals and the chassis must be infinite when the capacitor is
normal.
If incorrect reading are obtained, the high voltage capacitor must be replaced.
CARRY OUT 4R CHECKS.
E SWITCH TEST
CARRY OUT 3D CHECKS.
Isolate the switch to be tested and using an ohmmeter check between the terminals as described in
the following table.
Plunger Operation
Released
Depressed
If incorrect readings are obtained, make the necessary switch adjustment or replace the switch.
CARRY OUT 4R CHECKS.
F TEMPERATURE FUSE AND THERMAL CUT-OUT TEST
CARRY OUT 3D CHECKS.
Disconnect the leads from the terminals of the temperature fuse or thermal cut-out. Then using an
ohmmeter, make a continuity test across the two terminals as described in the table below.
CARRY OUT 4R CHECKS.
Parts Name
Thermal cut-out 125˚C
Thermal cut-out 95˚C
If incorrect readings are obtained, replace the temperature fuse or thermal cut-out.
An open circuit thermal cut-out 95˚C (MG) indicates that the magnetron has overheated, this may be
due to resistricted ventilation, cooling fan failure or a fault condition within the magnetron or HV circuit.
An open circuit thermal cut-out 125˚C (OVEN) indicates that the foods in the oven may catch fire,
this may be due to over heating produced by improper setting of the cooking time or failure of the
control panel.
G MONITOR RESISTOR TEST
CARRY OUT 3D CHECKS.
Disconnect the leads from the monitor resist. Using an ohmmeter and set on a low range. Check
between the terminals of the monitor resistor.
The resistance of monitor resistor is approx. 0.8 ohms.
