TROUBLE SHOOTING GUIDE Following the procedures below to check if the oven is defective or not. 1. Check grounding before checking trouble. 2. Be careful of the high voltage circuit. 3. Discharge the high voltage capacitor. 4. When checking the continuity of the switches, fuse or high voltage transformer, disconnect one lead wire from these parts and the check continuity with the AC plug removed.
MEASUREMENT AND TEST 1. MEASUREMENT OF THE MICROWAVE POWER OUTPUT Microwave output power can be checked by indirectly measuring the temperature rise of a certain amount of water exposed to the microwave as directed below. PROCEDURE 1. Microwave power output measurement is made with the microwave oven supplied at rated voltage and operated at its maximum microwave power setting with a load 1000±...
2. MICROWAVE RADIATION TEST On every service call, checks for microwave energy emission must be made according to the following manner. 1. Remove the cooking rack from the oven cavity, if the microwave oven is, so equipped. 2. Place 275mL(9. oz.) glass of water in the center of the oven bottom. 3.
Page 37
If a microwave oven is found to operate with the door open, report to Department of Service, the manufacturer and CDRH* immediately. Also tell the owner not to use the oven. The interlock monitor switch acts as the final safety switch protecting the customer from microwave radiation. If the interlock monitor switch operates and opens the line fuse, the interlock switches have failed, and you must replace all of them(primary and secondary interlock switches, and the monitor switch), because their contact may be melted and welded together.

The meter should indicate zero resistance. • The sequence of check is interlock monitor switch, primary and secondary interlock switches check. 1.
2. CIRCUIT DESCRIPTION MICROWAVE COOKING - TIME COOKING 1. When the food is placed inside the oven and door is closed. 1) The low voltage transformer supplies the necessary voltage to the touch control circuit when the power cord is plugged in.
Page 45
The Touch control circuit controls the ON-OFF time of RELAY 1 in order to vary the output power of the microwave oven from power level 1 to HI (100%) power. One complete ON and OFF cycle of the RELAY 1 is 29 seconds. The relation between indications on the control panel and the output of the microwave oven is as shown.
Page 46
3) Fan motor and turn table stop rotating 4) The oven lamp turns off. 5) As soon as the door is opened, the interlock monitor switch contacts close and creates the short circuit. 6) If the contacts of primary interlock switch malfunction the 20A fuse blows open due to the large current surge caused by the short circuit activation, and this in turn stops magnetron oscillation.
