TEST PROCEDURES
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
COM to NO
Released
Open circuit
Depressed
Short circuit
If incorrect readings are obtained, replace the switch.
CARRY OUT 4R CHECKS.
CARRY OUT 3D CHECKS
Disconnect the leads from the terminals of the thermal cut-out. Then using an
ohmmeter, make a continuity test across the two terminals as described in the
below.
CARRY OUT 4R CHECKS
Parts Name
Thermal cut-out
125°C TC01
Thermal cut-out
125°C TC02
If incorrect readings are obtained, replace the thermal cut-out.
An open circuit thermal cut-out (MG) TC02 indicates that the magnetron has
overheated, this may be due to restricted ventilation, cooling fan failure.
An open circuit thermal cut-out (OVEN) TC01 indicates that the oven cavity
has overheated, this may be due to no load operation.
CARRY OUT 3D CHECKS
If the fuse F8A (F1) is blown when the door is opened, check the primary
latch switch, monitor switch and monitor resistor.
If the fuse F8A (F1) is blown by incorrect door switching replace the
defective switch(es) and the fuse F8A (F1).
CARRY OUT 4R CHECKS
CAUTION: Only replace fuse with the correct value replacement.
