COMPONENT TESTING
Before testing any of the components, perform
the following checks:
• The most common cause for control failure is
corrosion on connectors. Therefore, discon-
necting and reconnecting wires will be nec-
essary throughout test procedures.
• All tests/checks should be made with a VOM
or DVM having a sensitivity of 20,000 ohms-
per-volt DC, or greater.
• Check all connections before replacing com-
ponents, looking for broken or loose wires,
failed terminals, or wires not pressed into
connectors far enough.
• Voltage checks must be made with all con-
nectors attached to the boards.
• Resistance checks must be made with power
cord unplugged from outlet, and with wiring
harness or connectors disconnected.
Refer to page 2-26 for the procedure for servic-
ing the turntable motor.
1. Disconnect the electrical power to the
microwave oven.
2. Disconnect the wires from the turntable
motor terminals.
3. Set the ohmmeter to the R x 1 scale.
4. Touch the ohmmeter leads to the motor
terminals. The meter should indicate ap-
proximately 25
Ω
.
THE TURNTABLE & COOLING FAN MOTORS
TURNTABLE MOTOR
Refer to page 2-18 for the procedure for servic-
ing the cooling fan motor.
1. Disconnect the electrical power to the
microwave oven.
2. Disconnect the wires from the cooling fan
motor terminals.
3. Set the ohmmeter to the R x 1 scale.
4. Touch the ohmmeter leads to the motor
terminals. The meter should indicate ap-
proximately 25
Ω
.
