NOTES: 

A MICROWAVE ENERGY TEST MUST ALWAYS BE PERFORMED WHEN THE UNIT IS SERVICED FOR
ANY REASON.

MAKE SURE THE WIRE LEADS ARE IN THE CORRECT POSITION.

WHEN REMOVING THE WIRE LEADS FROM THE PARTS, BE SURE TO GRASP THE CONNECTOR, NOT
THE WIRES.

B.  CHECKOUT PROCEDURES

(1)  CHECKOUT PROCEDURES FOR FUSE BLOWING

CAUTION: REPLACE BLOWN FUSE WITH 20 AMPERE FUSE.

Fuse blows immediately after
the door is closed.

Fuse blows immediately after 
the door is opened.

Fuse blows when the door is closed and START
key is touched.

Improper operation of the primary interlock, secondary
interlock switches and/or the interlock monitor switch.

Malfunction of the high voltage transformer; the high
voltage capacitor including the diode, the magnetron,
the blower motor or the circuit board.

PROBLEMS

CAUSES

NOTES:

If the fuse is blown by an improper switch operation, replace all switches and the fuse at the same time.
After replacing the defective switches with new ones, make sure that they are correctly connected.

Check for microwave energy leakage according to INTERLOCK ADJUSTMENT PROCEDURES on page 
7-11 when the primary interlock, secondary interlock switches and/or the interlock monitor switches are
adjusted or replaced.
