IMPORTANT PRODUCT INFORMATION WARNING WARNING Precautions to be observed before and during To avoid risk of electrical shock, injury, or death, make servicing to avoid possible exposure to excessive sure these grounding instructions are followed. microwave energy, or electrical shock disconnect power to oven.
(such as exposure to electrical shock) may result. CAUTION Amana will not be responsible for any injury or property damage from improper service procedures. If performing service on your own product, assume responsibility for any personal injury or property damage which may result.
8. Do not for any reason defeat interlock switches - The basic design of the Amana Microwave Oven makes there is no valid reason for this action at any time; it an inherently safe device to both use and service.
Measurement With the Outer Panel WARNING Removed Check for radiation leakage after servicing. Should the leakage be more than 4mW/cm inform Amana DANGER Refrigeration, Inc. immediately. After repairing or Avoid contacting any high voltage components. replacing any radiation safety device, keep a written record for future reference, as required by D.H.H.S.
• Protective gloves from the front. Clean air vent with damp cloth. Dry • Phillips screwdriver thoroughly. • 40-watt, 250-volt appliance bulb (available at Amana Authorized Service Centers - p/n A0282802) Air Filter Air filter is located under oven directly below door.
Product Information Grease Shield Antennas, Antenna Gears, Antenna Motors Covers and protects the top antennas. Properly distributes microwave energy throughout the cavity. DANGER Autotransformer To avoid severe personal injury or death avoid This transformer provides step-up voltage for the blower contacting any high voltage parts.

Display Diagnostics CAUTION All repairs as described in this troubleshooting guide section are to be performed only after the caution procedures one through seven listed below have been followed. 1. Check grounding before checking for trouble. 2. Be careful of the high voltage circuit. 3.
Display Diagnostics S1 Watchdog - Membrane Touch Panel CS Current Sense Watchdog circuit verifies touch panel entry. Current Sense – Indicates control is sensing low current Possible Causes: (Amp) draw. Check components which would allow unit 1. Shorted top touch panel. to run but produce no heat or low heat.
Display Diagnostics PCE1 Checksum PCE6 Communication Failure NOTE: Before scheduling service for this complaint, NOTE: Before scheduling service for this complaint, instruct customer to unplug oven for one instruct customer to unplug oven for one minute, minute, reconnect, and retest. If unit operates reconnect, and retest.
Service Test – All Models Except WDYRC For WDYRC service test information, refer to RT2230008 Technical Sheet The high voltage portion of these models contain H.V. System Test multiple H.V. systems. When Service Test Mode has been accessed, the H.V. system test must be started within 60 seconds to Each H.V.
Service Test Multiple H.V. System Testing Door Cycles and Magnetron Hours Two or three H.V. Systems may be tested together. • Press TIME ENTRY pad once for door cycles. Below are display samples showing different NOTE: Door cycle counter advances one number for combinations.
Power Test (Traditional 1 Liter Test) Test equipment required is Amana power test kit R0157397 (Fahrenheit), or Menumaster power test kit M95D5 (Celsius). 1. Fill the plastic container to the bottom of the 1000 ml. line with cool tap water.
Troubleshooting Initial Power Up Connect Power Cord (Door Closed) No power applied to oven power cord. Blown oven fuse (check interlock switch module operation, monitor test). Inoperative cavity thermal cut out. 5 to 10 Seconds Inoperative low voltage circuit board. Inoperative high voltage circuit board.
Troubleshooting Stand By Condition Open oven door. Oven light is on? (optional) Inoperative autotransformer. Binding or inoperative antenna motor(s). Antenna motors operate? Binding or inoperative blower motor. Broken or improper wire connections. Blower motor operates? "Stand by Condition" normal - proceed to "Cook Condition".
Troubleshooting Cook Condition Place a cup of water in oven and close door. Inoperative interlock switch module. Broken or improper wire connections. "ITEM" must be flashing Note: or the door has to be opened and closed to reactivate a cook condition. Beep not programmed into oven.
