6-1
PRECAUTION
1. CHECK GROUNDING BEFORE CHECKING FOR TROUBLE.
2. BE CAREFUL OF THE HIGH VOLTAGE CIRCUIT.
3. DISCHARGE THE HIGH VOLTAGE CAPACITOR.
4. WHEN CHECKING THE CONTINUITY OF THE SWITCHES OR TRANSFORMER, DISCONNECT ONE LEAD WIRE FROM THESE
PARTS AND THEN CHECK CONTINUITY WITHOUT THE POWER SOURCE ON. TO DO OTHERWISE MAY RESULT IN A FALSE
READING OR DAMAGE TO YOUR METER.
5. DO NOT TOUCH ANY PART OF THE CIRCUIT OR THE CONTROL CIRCUIT BOARD, SINCE STATIC DISCHARGE MAY DAMAGE IT.
ALWAYS TOUCH GROUND WHILE WORKING ON IT TO DISCHARGE ANY STATIC CHARGE BUILT UP.

SYMPTOM CAUSE CORRECTIONS
Oven is dead. 1. Open or loose lead wire harness Check fan motor when thermal cutout is defective.
Fuse is OK. 2. Open thermal cutout (Magnetron)
No display and no operation at all. 3. Open low voltage transformer Check Ass'y PCB when LVT is defective.
4. Defective Ass'y PCB
No display and no operation at all. 1. Shorted lead wire harness Check adjustment of primary, interlock monitor,
Fuse is blown. 2. Defective primary latch switch (NOTE 1) door sensing switch.
3. Defective monitor switch (NOTE1)
4. Shorted HVCapacitor
5. Shorted HVTransformer (NOTE2)
NOTE 1: All of these switches must be replaced at the same time.
(refer to adjustment instructions)
Check continuity of power relay contacts and if it has continuity, replace power
relay also.
NOTE 2: When HVTransformer is replaced, check diode and magnetron also.
