REMOVING THE HIGH-VOLTAGE TRANSFORMER
Electrical Shock Hazard
Disconnect power before servicing.
Replace all parts and panels before
operating.
Failure to do so can result in death or
electrical shock.
WARNING
1. Unplug microwave oven or disconnect
power.
2. Remove the microwave oven from its

3. Remove the cabinet from the oven (see
page 4-4 for the procedure).
High-Voltage Transformer
4. Discharge the high-voltage capacitor by
touching the leads of a 20,000
Ω
resistor
from each of the capacitor leads to chas-
sis ground.
5. Disconnect the high-voltage transformer
wires from the following locations:
a) The red wire from the magnetron fila-
ment terminal.
b) The red and white wires from the trans-
former terminals.
c) The red and white wires from the high
-voltage capacitor terminals.
