LIVE TEST FOR MOTOR
WINDINGS
CAUTION:
The following
procedure
requires
the oven to be connected
to the supply
and should
only be used if the relevant
"cold"
checks
for the motor
un-
der test are inconclusive.
1. CARRY OUT 3D CHECKS
2. Disconnect
the leads from the primary
of the power transformer.
Make sure that the leads
remain isolated from other oven components
and chassis. (Use insulation
tape if necessary.)
3. Connect a voltmeter,
set to 250V AC, across the motor terminals.
(Refer to the relevant motor
test procedure
or pictorial
diagram for the correct terminal
numbers.)
4. Arrange the meter in a position
where it can be read during
the test. (Do not touch the meter,
meter leads or oven circuitry
while the oven is active.)
5. Close the oven door.
6. Set the reievant timer for about three (3) minutes,
set the power
level to HIGH and push the
START button.
7. Note the reading on the meter and carefully
observe the motor under test to see if it is turning.
8. CARRY OUT 3D CHECKS
9. Remove test meter leads.
1 O.Reconnect
the leads to the primary of the power transformer.
If a reading of 240 volts AC was obtained
(step 7) but the motor was not turning
then it is faulty
and should
be replaced.
If the meter indicated
that no supply
was present then the wiring
to the
motor should
be checked
for continuity.
