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

Diode Assembly
Discharge Capacitors
Remove diode lead from capacitor and
connect ohmmeter.
Reverse leads for second test.
Infinite resistance should be
measured in one direction and 50K
Ω
or more in the opposite direction.
NOTE: Analog meter must contain a
battery of 6 volts minimum.

Triac
Disconnect wires to triac.
Measure resistance from:
MT1 to MT2
MT1 to Gate
MT2 to Gate
All terminals to ground
Caution - Do not operate oven with
wire to terminal MT2 removed.

Capacitor
Discharge Capacitors
Remove wires from capacitor terminals and
connect ohmmeter, set on highest
resistance scale to terminals.
Also check between each terminal and
capacitor case.
Between Terminals: Meter should
momentarily deflect towards zero
then return to over 5 M
Ω
. IF no
deflection occurs, or if continuous
deflection occurs, replace capacitor.
Terminal to Case: Infinite resistance

Snubber Assembly
Disconnect wires to snubber.
Measure resistance across terminals.

Magnetron
Discharge Capacitors
Remove wires from magnetron and connect
ohmmeter to terminals. Also check
between each terminal and ground.
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.
