Thermal Cutout
Disconnect all wires from TCO.
Measure resistance across terminals.

Diode/Rectifier
Discharge Capacitor
Remove diode lead from capacitor and
connect ohmmeter.
Reverse leads for second test.
Infinite resistance should be measured in
one direction and 50KΩ or more in the
opposite direction.
NOTE:
Test meter must contain a
battery of 6 volts minimum.
Capacitor
Discharge Capacitor
Remove wires from capacitor terminals and
connect ohmmeter, set on highest
resistance scale to terminals.
Also check between each terminal and
capacitor case.
1.05uf
Between Terminals:
Meter should
momentarily deflect towards zero then
return to over 5 MΩ. If no deflection
occurs, or if continuous deflection
occurs, replace capacitor.
Terminal to Case:
Infinite resistance.
Magnetron
Discharge Capacitor
Remove wires from magnetron and
connect ohmmeter to terminals. Also check
between each terminal and ground.
2M248(J)A-B2
Between Terminals:
Less than 1 Ω.
Each terminal to ground measures
Infinite resistance.
NOTE:
This test is not conclusive. If
oven does not heat and all other
components test good replace the
magnetron and retest.
Stirrer Motor
Remove all wires from terminals.
Measure resistance from:
terminal to terminal......................................

To avoid risk of electrical shock, personal injury or death, disconnect power to oven and discharge capacitor
before servicing, unless testing requires power.
