COMPONENT TESTING (continued) Components Test/Results H.V. Capacitor 1. Unplug microwave oven or disconnect power. 2. Remove wire leads. 3. Prepare the DC 9-volt battery and 10k ohms resistance including wire leads. 4. Connect the DC 9-volt battery to the H.V. capacitor. 5.
COMPONENT TESTING (continued) Switching Power Supply (Switching Regulator) 950W power output 120V Switching power supply- "switching regulator" is a 24Vdc switching power supply (SW PSU). It is used to power the drawer motor to open/ close drawer. When Relay RY5 is active it allows the 24Vdc to get to the drawer motor.
DIAGNOSIS & TROUBLESHOOTING TROUBLESHOOTING WARNING IMPORTANT: If the oven becomes inopera- tive because of a blown monitor fuse, check the monitor switch, relay RY1, secondary in- terlock relay RY2, secondary (door sensing) interlock switch, and primary interlock switch before replacing the monitor fuse. If monitor fuse is replaced, the monitor switch must also be replaced.
