Check the isolation of filament
winding of high voltage
transformer.
Replace high voltage
transformer.
NO Continuity
Replace magnetron
Good
Replace or repair oven lamp,
turntable motor.
NO
If microwave do not
oscillate, check continuity
of filament of magnetron.
Poor continuity
NO
Continuity
Check continuity
filament tap (3.3V)
of high voltage.
Replace high

Check continuity
filament tap (3.3V)
of high voltage.
Replace high
Voltage transformer
Continuity in
the reverse
direction.
Replace magnetron
Normal reading
should be
approx. 0Ω
Meter with 6V or higher
voltage batteries should
be used to check the normal
direction resistance of
the diode
