Relay 2: Microwave
Relay 3: Grill

FAN MOTOR
(Wire leads removed)

TURNTABLE
MOTOR
(Wire leads removed)

Check for P.C.B. connector.

Measure the resistance.
(Ohm-meter scale: R x 1)

Measure the resistance.
(Ohm-meter scale: R x 1000)

Normal: Approx. 200 ~400 ohm

Abnormal: Infinite or several

ohm.

Normal: Approx. 10~20 kohm
Abnormal: Infinite or several

ohm.

NOTE : • A MICROWAVE LEAKAGE 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.

Cooking Start OFF

Relay 2

Relay 1

Relay 3

Cooking Start OFF

A Approx. 30 ~ 50 ohm

B Approx. 300 ~ 500 ohm
