12. DESCRIPTION OF OPERATING SEQUENCE Variable power cooking control The coil of power relays are energized intermittently by the digital programmer circuit, when the oven is set at any power selection except for High power position. The digital programmer circuit controls the ON-OFF time of the power relays contacts in order to vary the output power of the microwave oven.
Page 17
12.1. Defrost control When defrost power and defrosting time is selected and Start pad is touched: 1. The digital programmer circuit (DPC) divides the total defrosting time into 8 equal periods, consisting of four defrosting periods, each followed by a standing period.(See figure) 2.
13. CAUTIONS TO BE OBSERVED WHEN TROUBLESHOOTING Unlike many other appliances, the microwave oven is high voltage, high current equipment. Though it is free from danger in ordinary use, extreme care should be taken during repair. CAUTION Servicemen should remove their watches whenever working close to or replacing the magnetron.
Important Note 1. High voltage above 250 volts are existing on following parts during operation. -Magnetron -High Voltage Transformer -High Voltage Diode -High Voltage Capacitor Unusual attention should be paid during repair or troubleshooting of product. 2. If the microwave oven is operated with incorrect installed door hinge or magnetron, it can cause microwave leakage of over 5mW/square centime-ter.
Never insert a wire, nail or any other metal object through the lamp holes on the cavity or any other holes or gaps, because such objects may work as an antenna and cause microwave leakage. 13.7. CAUTION MICROWAVE RADIATION Personnel should not be exposed to the microwave energy which may radiate from the magnetron or other microwave generating device if it is improperly used or connected all input and output...

4. Remove the 4 screws holding magnetron. 5. Remove 2 screws holding thermal cutout. 6. Remove the air guide from magnetron and install it on the new magnetron. NOTE To prevent microwave leakage, tighten mounting screws properly making sure there is no gap between the waveguide and the magnetron.

14.2. Digital programmer circuit board 1. Remove grounding screw for membrane switch and D.P.C. ground. 2. Remove 2 screws holding control panel assembly to detach it from main unit then remove connectors. 3. Remove 2 screws holding the D.P.C. board and remove the board by freeing catch hooks.

carefully remove all solder from the terminal pins of the low voltage transformer and/or power relays. NOTE Do not use a soldering iron or desoldering tool of more than 30 watts on DPC contacts. 2. With all the terminal pins cleaned and separated from DPC contacts, remove the defective transformer/power relays and install new transformer/power relays making sure all terminal pins are inserted completely.

14.7. Replacement of temperature sensor (Thermal protector) 1. Cut 2 lead wires at the top of sensor terminals. 2. Remove 2 screws holding temp sensor and replace with new one. 3. Solder the lead wires securely to the sensor terminals. 14.8.
Page 27
15. COMPONENT TEST PROCEDURE CAUTION 1. High voltage is present at the high voltage terminal of the high voltage transformer during any cook cycle. 2. It is neither necessary nor advisable to attempt measurement of the high voltage. 3. Before touching any oven components, or wiring, always unplug the oven from its power source and discharge the high voltage capacitor.

1. Isolate magnetron from the circuit by disconnecting the leads. 2. A continuity check across magnetron filament terminals should indicate one ohm or less. 3. A continuity check between each filament terminal and magnetron case should read open. 15.4. Diode 1.

of the diode, otherwise an infinite resistance may be read in both directions. A normal diode’s resistance will be infinite in one direction and several hundred k in the other direction. 15.5. Membrane key board (Membrane switch assembly) Check continuity between switch terminals, by tapping an appropriate pad on the key board. The contacts assignment of the respective pads on the key board is as shown in digital programmer circuit.
16. MEASUREMENTS AND ADJUSTMENTS 16.1. Adjustment of the safety switch B (Right and Left side) 1. Switch operation When the door is slightly opened, the safety switch B opens the main circuit. The movement of the door from the closed position to the operation position (shown as lier) of the switch when it opens the main circuit, must maintain within following tolerances.
Page 31
16.3. Adjustment of the safety switch A (Door switch) (Right and Left side) 1. Switch operation When the door is slightly opened, the contacts of safety switch A opened to give digital programmer circuit the information that the door is opened. The allowable movement of the door from the closed position to the operating position (shown as liter) of the switch when it opens the circuit, is specified as follows;...
The normal temperature rise (T2 — T1) at High power position for each models is as shown in following table. Model Temperature Rise / (1 liter — 1 Min.) NE-3280 / NE-3240 Min. 27.4°C NE-2180 / NE-2140 Min. 18°C Created with novaPDF Printer (www.novaPDF.com). Please register to remove this message.
