STIRRER MOTOR
Refer to page 4-9 for the procedure for access-
ing the stirrer motor.
1. Unplug microwave oven or disconnect
power.
2. Disconnect the stirrer motor wires from
the motor terminals.
3. Set the ohmmeter to the R x 1K scale.
4. Touch the ohmmeter test leads to the
motor terminals. The meter should indi-
cate between 2700 and 4200 Ω.
MOTOR CAPACITOR
Refer to page 4-12 for the procedure for ac-
cessing the motor capacitor.
1. Unplug microwave oven or disconnect
power.
2. Discharge the capacitor by touching the
leads of a 20,000 Ω resistor from each
of the capacitor leads to the chassis
ground.
3. Disconnect the motor capacitor wires from
the capacitor terminals.
4. Set the ohmmeter to the R x 1 scale.
5. Touch the ohmmeter test leads to the ca-
pacitor terminals. The meter should indi-
cate several ohms and gradually return
to infinity.
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.
