WARNING TO SERVICE PERSONNEL
Microwave Oven units contain circuitry capable of producing very high voltage and current,
contact with following parts
may result in a severe, possibly fatal, electrical shock.
(Example)
High Voltage Capacitor, High Voltage Power Transformer, Magnetron, High Voltage Rectifier
Assembly, High Voltage Harness, Heating Elements, etc..
Read the Service Manual carefully and follow all instructions.
Before Servicing
1. Disconnect the power supply cord , and then
remove cabinet.
2. Open the drawer and keep it open.
3. Discharge high voltage capacitor.
WARNING: RISK OF ELECTRIC SHOCK.
DISCHARGE THE HIGH-VOLTAGE
CAPACITOR BEFORE SERVICING.
The high-voltage capacitor remains charged about 60
seconds after the oven has been switched off. Wait for
60 seconds and then short-circuit the connection of the
high-voltage capacitor (that is the connecting lead of the
high-voltage rectifier) against the chassis with the use of
an insulated screwdriver.
Whenever troubleshooting is performed the power supply
must be disconnected. It may, in some cases, be necessary
to connect the power supply after the outer case has been
removed, in this event:
1. Disconnect the power supply cord, and then remove
neccessary covers.
2. Open the drawer and keep it open.
3. Discharge high voltage capacitor.
4. Disconnect the leads to the primary of the power
transformer.
5. Ensure that the leads remain isolated from other
components and oven chassis by using insulation tape.
6. After that procedure, reconnect the power supply cord.
When the testing is completed,
1. Disconnect the power supply cord, and then remove
covers.
2. Open the drawer and keep it open.
3. Discharge high voltage capacitor.
4. Reconnect the leads to the primary of the power
transformer.
5. Reinstall the covers.
6. Reconnect the power supply cord.
7. Run the unit and check all functions.
After repairing
1. Reconnect all leads removed from components during
testing.
2. Reinstall the covers.
3. Reconnect the power supply cord.
4. Run the oven and check all functions.
Microwave ovens should not be operated empty. To test for
the presence of microwave energy within a cavity, place a
cup of cold water on the oven tray, close the drawer and set
the power to HIGH and set the microwave timer for two (2)
minutes. When the two minutes has elapsed (timer at zero)
carefully check that the water is now hot. If the water remains
cold carry out Before Servicing procedure and re-examine
the connections to the component being tested.
When all service work is completed and the oven is fully
assembled, the microwave power output should be checked
and a microwave leakage test should be carried out.
