REMOVING THE HIGH VOLTAGE CAPACITOR AND DIODE

WARNING
Electrical Shock Hazard
Disconnect power before servicing.
Replace all parts and panels before
operating.
Failure to do so can result in death or
electrical shock.
1. Unplug microwave drawer or disconnect
power.
2. Remove the microwave drawer from the
cabinet as outlined in steps 1-4 of
Accessing Internal Components (see
page 4-2 for the procedure).
3. Remove the top, side and back panels
as outlined in the steps Accessing
Internal Components (see page 4-2 and
4-3 for the procedure).
4. Discharge the high voltage
capacitor terminals with a 20,000 W
2 watt resistor to chassis ground.
