THE AIR VENT SOLENOID & INTERLOCK SWITCHES
WARNING
Electrical Shock Hazard
Disconnect power before servicing.
Replace all panels before operating.
Failure to do so could result in death or
electrical shock.
AIR VENT SOLENOID
Refer to page 2-18 for the procedure for servic-
ing the air vent solenoid.
1. Disconnect the electrical power to the
microwave oven.
2. Disconnect the wire from one of the sole-
noid terminals.
3. Set the ohmmeter to the R x 1K scale.
4. Touch the ohmmeter leads to the termi-
nals. The meter should indicate approxi-
mately 1650 Ω.

INTERLOCK SWITCH (1 of 3)
Switch Actuator
Refer to page 2-10 for the procedure for servic-
ing the interlock switches.
1. Disconnect the electrical power to the
microwave oven.
2. Disconnect the wires from the interlock
switch under test.
3. Set the ohmmeter to the R x 1 scale.
4. Touch the ohmmeter leads to the indi-
cated terminals (shown embossed on the
switch). The meter should indicate as fol-
lows:
COM to N.O. = infinity (no continuity)
COM to N.C. = 0 Ω (continuity)
5. Press the switch button, and touch the
ohmmeter leads to the indicated termi-
nals. The meter should indicate as fol-
lows:
COM to N.O. = 0 Ω (continuity)
COM to N.C. = infinity (no continuity)
