WARNING TO SERVICE PERSONNEL
Microwave ovens contain circuitry capable of producing very high voltage and current, contact with any part
of the high voltage circuit will result in electrocuition.
REMEMBER TO CHECK 3D
1) Disconnect the supply.
2) Door opened, an.d wedged open.
3) Discharge high voltage capacitor.
WARNING AGAINST THE CHARGE OF THE
HIGH-VOLTAGE CAPACITOR
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, of the con-
necting lead of the high-voltage rectifier)
~against the chassis with the use of an insu-
i lated screwdriver.
Sharp recommend that wherever possible
fault-finding is carried out with the supply discon-
nected. It may in, some cases, be necessary to
connect the supply after the outer case has been
removed, in this event carry out 3D checks and then
disconnect the leads to the primary of the power
transformer. Ensure that these leads remain isolated
from other components and the oven chassis. (Use
insulation tape if necessary.) When the testing is
completed carry out 3D checks and reconnect the
leads to the primary of the power transformer.
REMEMBER TO CHECK 4R
1) Reconnect all leads removed from components
during testing.
2) Replace the outer case (cabinet).
3) Reconnect the supply.
4) Run the oven. Check all functions.
Microwave ovens should not be run empty. To test
for the presence of microwave energy within a
cavity, place a cup of cold water on the oven
turntable, close the door and set the microwave
timer for two (2) minutes. Set the power level to
HIGH and push the START button. When the two
minutes has elapsed (timer at zero) carefully check
that the water is now hot. If the water remains cold
carry out 3IJ checks and re-examine the con-
nections 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 carried out.
TROUBLESHOOTINGGUIDE
When troubleshooting the microwave oven, it is helpful
to follow the Sequence of Operation in performing the
checks. Many of the possible causes of trouble will
require that a specific test be performed. These tests
are given a procedure letter which will be found in the
“Test Procedure”section.
IMPORTANT: If the oven becomes inoperative be-
cause of a blown fuse M8A in the up-
per latch switch - lower latch switch -
monitor switch - monitor resistor cir-
cuit, check the upper latch switch,
lower latch switch, monitor switch and
monitor resistor before replacing the
fuse M8A.
