PROCEDURE
LETTER
12.Re-install the outer case (cabinet).
13.Reconnect the power supply cord after the outer case is installed.
14.Run the oven and check all functions.
O CHECKING TEMPERATURE IN THE CONVECTION MODE
The following test procedure should be carried out with the microwave oven is a fully assembled
condition (outer case fitted).
It is difficult to measure the exact temperature in the convection oven. An accurate thermocouple type
temperature tester must be used. A low priced bi-metal type thermometer is not reliable or accurate.
The temperature should be checked with outer case cabinet installed, approx. 5 minutes after preheat
temperature is reached (audible signal sounds four times). The temperature experienced may be
approx. 30˚F more or less than indicated on the display, however, in most cases the food cooking results
will be satisfactory.
Difference in power supply voltage will also affect the oven temperature. The Household power supply
voltage may sometimes become lower than the rated voltage (120 V) and cause under-cooking. If the
power supply voltage is 10% lower than the rated voltage, longer cooking time is required by 10% to 20%.
P TOUCH CONTROL PANEL ASSEMBLY TEST
The touch control panel consists of circuits including semiconductors such as LSI, ICs, etc. Therefore,
unlike conventional microwave ovens, proper maintenance cannot be performed with only a voltmeter
and ohmmeter.
In this service manual, the touch control panel assembly is divided into two units, Control Unit and Key
Unit, and troubleshooting by unit replacement is described according to the symptoms indicated.
Before testing,
1) Disconnect the power supply cord, and then remove outer case.
2) Open the door and block it open.
3) Discharge high voltage capacitor.
4) Disconnect the leads to the primary of the power transformer.
5) Ensure that these leads remain isolated from other components and oven chassis by using
insulation tape.
1. Key Unit.
NOTE ;
1) Check Key unit ribbon connection before replacement.
2) Reconnect all leads removed from components during testing.
3) Re-install the outer case (cabinet).
4) Reconnect the power supply cord after the outer case is installed.
5) Run the oven and check all functions.
The following symptoms indicate a defective key unit.
a) When touching the pads, a certain pad produces no signal at all.
b) When touching a number pad, two figures or more are displayed.
c) When touching the pads, sometimes a pad produces no signal.
If the Key unit is defective.
1) Disconnect the power supply cord, and then remove outer case.
2) Open the door and block it open.
3) Discharge high voltage capacitor.
4) Replace the Key unit.
5) Reconnect all leads removed from components during testing.
6) Re-install the outer case (cabinet).
7) Reconnect the power supply cord after the outer case is installed.
8) Run the oven and check all functions.
2. Control Unit
The following symptoms indicate a defective control unit. Before replacing the control unit, perform
the Key unit test (Procedure Q) to determine if control unit is faulty. Reconnect the power supply cord.
And check for followings.
