TROUBLESHOOTING GUIDE
Never touch any part in the circuit with your hand or an uninsulated tool while the power supply is connected.
When troubleshooting the microwave oven, it is helpful to follow the Sequence of Operation in performing the checks. Many of the possible causes of
trouble will require that a specific test be performed. These tests are given a procedure letter which will be found in the "Test Procedure "section.
IMPORTANT
:
If the oven becomes inoperative because of a blown monitor fuse,
check the monitor switch, relay (RY3), primary interlock relay (RY2),
door sensing switch and secondary interlock switch before replacing
the monitor fuse. If monitor fuse is replaced, the monitor switch must
also be replaced. Use part FFS-BA033WRKZ as an assembly.
IMPORTANT
:
Whenever troubleshooting is performed with the power supply cord
disconnected. It may in, some cases, be necessary to connect the
power supply cord after the outer case has been removed, in this
event,
1) Disconnect the power supply cord, and then remove outer case.
2) Open the door and block it open.
3) Discharge high voltage capacitor.
