Oven Mounted Switches - Thermador CM301B Service Manual

Lit. No. 94-30-006B
The secondary and the monitor switches are mounted on a bracket. The bracket is located on the
plenum behind the control panel on the right side of the oven (see Front View, below).
The monitor switch is mounted on the left side
of the bracket. It is normally closed. The switch
is opened by the forward motion of the hook
(See Figure A) when the door is closed. The
purpose of this switch is to cause the fuse to
blow if the latch switch is not open when the
microwave door is opened. The switch is wired
across the neutral and positive side of the line.
The fuse will blow if the monitor switch and
the primary switch are closed at the same time.
