Discharge Capacitor

 

Disconnect connector and measure 
continuity with meter on R x 1 scale: 
 Secondary ......................................
 Filament..........................................
 

Primary (High & Low)......................

(Measure at room temperature, or 70° F/ 
22°C) 
Measure continuity with meter on “High” 
scale:  Primary winding to ground ..............
 

Filament winding to ground.............

Magnetron 

Discharge Capacitor

 

 
Remove wires from magnetron and 
connect ohmmeter to terminals. Also 
check between each terminal and ground. 

 

Between Terminals:

 Less than 1 

 

Each terminal to ground

: Infinite 

resistance. 

Note:

 This test is not conclusive. If 

oven does not heat and all other 
components test good replace the 
magnetron and retest. 

 

High Voltage 
Capacitor 

Discharge Capacitor

 

Remove wires from capacitor terminals 
and connect ohmmeter, set on highest 
resistance scale to terminals. 
 
Also check between each terminal and 
capacitor case. 

 

Between Terminals:

 Meter should 

momentarily indicate several ohms, 
then return to infinity. If no deflection 
occurs, or if continuous deflection 
occurs, replace capacitor. 

Terminal to Case:

 Infinite resistance 

 

High Voltage Diode 

Discharge Capacitor

 

 
Remove diode lead from capacitor and 
connect ohmmeter. 
 
Reverse leads for second test. 

 
Infinite resistance should be measured 
in one direction and continuity in the 
opposite direction. 

NOTE:

 Ohmmeter must contain a 

battery of 6 volts minimum.
