Component Test

KEY UNIT TEST

If the display fails to clear when the STOP/CLEAR pad is depressed, first verify the flat ribbon cable
is making good contact, verify that the door sensing switch (stop switch) operates properly; that is 
the contacts are closed when the door is closed and open when the door is open. If the door sens-
ing switch (stop switch) is good, disconnect the flat ribbon cable that connects the key unit to the 
control unit and make sure the door sensing switch is closed (either close the door or short the door 
sensing switch connector). Use the key unit matrix indicated on the control panel schematic and 
place a jumper wire between the pins that correspond to the STOP/CLEAR pad making momentary 
contact.
If the control unit responds by clearing with a beep the key unit is faulty and must be replaced. If the
control unit does not respond, it is a faulty and must be replaced. If a specific pad does not respond,
the above method may be used (after clearing the control unit) to determine if the control unit or key
pad is at fault.

RELAY TEST

1.   Remove outer case and check voltage between Pin Nos. 7 and 9 of the 9- pin connector (A) 

on the control unit with an A.C. voltmeter.  The meter should indicate 120 volts, if not check the 
oven circuitry.

Shut-off, Cook and Heater Relay Test

These relays are operated by D.C. voltage.  Check voltage at the relay coil with a D.C. voltmeter 
during the microwave cooking operation or convection cooking operation.
DC. voltage indicated ...............  Defective relay.
DC. voltage not indicated .........  Check diode which is connected to the relay coil. If diode is good,
    control 

unit 

is 

defective.

2.   Disconnect the power supply cord.
3.   Open the door and block it open.
4.   Discharge high voltage capacitor.
5.   Reconnect all leads removed from components during testing.
6.   Re-install the outer case (cabinet).
7.   Reconnect the power supply cord after the outer case is installed.
8.   Run the oven and check all functions.
