Component Test

HIGH VOLTAGE CAPACITOR TEST

1.   Disconnect the power supply cord, and then remove outer case.
2.   Open the door and block it open.
3.   Discharge high voltage capacitor. (See Warnings and Instructions on page 3-1)
4.   If the capacitor is open, no high voltage will be available to the magnetron. Disconnect input 

leads and check for short or open between the terminals using an ohmmeter.

 

Checking with a high ohm scale, if the high voltage capacitor is normal, the meter will indicate

  

continuity for a short time and should indicate approximately 10 M

 once the capacitor is 

charged.  If the above is not the case, check the capacitor with an ohmmeter to see if it is 

 

shorted between either of the terminals and case.  If it is shorted, replace the capacitor.

5.   Reconnect all leads removed from components during testing.
6.   Reinstall the outer case (cabinet).
7.   Reconnect the power supply cord after the outer case is installed.
8.   Run the oven and check all functions.

 PRIMARY INTERLOCK SWITCH AND THIRD DOOR SWITCH TEST 

1.   Disconnect the power supply cord, and then remove outer case.
2.   Open the door and block it open.
3.   Discharge high voltage capacitor.  (See Warnings and Instructions on page 3-1)
4.   Isolate the switch and connect the ohmmeter to the common (COM.) and normally open (NO) 

terminal of the switch. The meter should indicated an open circuit with the door open and a 
closed circuit with the door closed.  If improper operation is indicated, replace the switch.

5.   Reconnect all leads removed from components during testing.
6.   Reinstall the outer case (cabinet).
7.   Reconnect the power supply cord after the outer case is installed.
8.   Run the oven and check all functions.

SECONDARY INTERLOCK SYSTEM TEST

DOOR SENSING SWITCH
1.   Disconnect the power supply cord, and then remove outer case.
2.   Open the door and block it open.
3.   Discharge high voltage capacitor.  (See Warnings and Instructions on page 3-1)
4.   Isolate the switch and connect the ohmmeter to the common (COM.) and normally open (NO) 

terminal of the switch. The meter should indicate an open circuit with the door open and a closed 
circuit with the door closed.  If improper operation is indicated, replace the door sensing switch.

5.   Reconnect all leads removed from components during testing.
6.   Reinstall the outer case (cabinet).
7.   Reconnect the power supply cord after the outer case is installed.
8.   Run the oven and check all functions.
