GE LMAB1240ST Microwave Oven User Manual


 
A. PRIMARY INTERLOCK SWITCH TEST
When the door is opened slowly, an audible click
should be heard at the same time or successively
at intervals and the latches should activate the
switches with an audible click.
If the latches do not activate the switches when
the door is closed, the switches should be
adjusted in accordance with the adjustment
procedure. Disconnect the wire lead from the
primary switch. Connect the ohmmeter leads to
the common (COM) and normally open (NO)
terminal of the switch. The meter should indicate
an open circuit in the door open condition.
When the door is closed, the meter should
indicate a closed circuit.
When the primary switch operation is abnormal,
make the necessary adjustment or replace the
switch with the same type of switch.
B. SECONDARY INTERLOCK SWITCH TEST
Disconnect the wire lead from the secondary
switch.
Connect the ohmmeter leads to the common
(COM) and normally open (NO) terminals of the
switch. The meter should indicate an open circuit
in the door open condition. When the door is
closed, the meter should indicate a closed circuit.
When the secondary switch operation is
abnormal, make the necessary adjustment or
replace the switch with the same type of switch.
C. MONITOR SWITCH TEST
Disconnect the wire lead from the monitor switch.
Connect the ohmmeter leads to the common
(COM) and normally closed (NC) terminals of the
switch. The meter should indicate closed circuit in
the door open condition. When the door is closed,
the meter should indicate an open circuit. When
the monitor switch operation is abnormal, replace
with the same type of switch.
NOTE: After repairing the door or the interlock
system, it is necessary to do this continuity
test before operating the oven.
