6.  Tighten and secure the plastic bracket with

screws.

7.  To be totally sure that switches are func-

tioning properly, see   Primary, Secondary
Interlock Switch and Monitor Switch Test
Procedures.

DO NOT ATTEMPT TO ADJUST INTERLOCK
SWITCHES WITH OVEN ENERGIZED. IF
THIS WARNING IS NOT OBSERVED, HIGH
LEVELS OF MICROWAVE LEAKAGE MAY
BE PRESENT.

NOTE:

IF THE INTERLOCKS ARE
REPLACED, THEY

MUST

BE

ADJUSTED. SEE INTERLOCK
ADJUSTMENTS SECTION FOR
PROPER ADJUSTMENT PROCE-
DURE.

PRIMARY

(UPPER) INTERLOCK

SWITCH TEST

1.  Disconnect power to the unit. Remove the

cabinet and discharge the capacitor.

2.  With the ohmmeter set on the RX1 scale,

take continuity readings as noted below.

A)  Condition: Door open

Test: Ohmmeter check from LC to MSC
indicates open circuit.

B)  Condition: Door closed

Test: Ohmmeter check from LC to MSC
indicates short circuit.

3.  If the switch does not operate as described

above, replace all the switches. Repeat the
above tests.

SECONDARY (LOWER) INTERLOCK
SWITCH TEST

1.  Disconnect power to the unit, remove the

cabinet and discharge the capacitor.

2.  With the ohmmeter set on the RX1 scale,

take continuity readings as noted below.

A)  Condition: 1)Door open

Test: Ohmmeter check from SISC to
SISNO indicates open circuit.

B)  Condition: Door closed

Test: Ohmmeter check from SISC to
SISNO indicates short circuit.

3.  If the switch does not operate as described

above, replace   all the switches. Repeat
the above tests.

WARNING:

FOR CONTINUED PROTECTION

AGAINST EXCESSIVE RADIATION EMIS-
SION REPLACE ONLY WITH PARTS AS
DESCRIBED IN THE PARTS LIST

CAUTION: 

WHEN REPLACING THESE

SWITCHES, USE ONLY FACTORY REPLACE-
MENT PARTS. REPLACING WITH ANY
OTHER PART WILL VOID THE WARRANTY
AND MAY CAUSE INJURY TO THE USER.

MONITOR (MIDDLE) INTERLOCK
SAFETY SWITCH TEST

1.  Disconnect power to the unit. Remove the

cabinet and discharge the capacitor.

2.  With the ohmmeter set on the RX1 scale,

take continuity readings as noted below.

A)  Condition: Door open

Test: Ohmmeter check from MSC to MSNC
indicates open circuit.

B)  Condition: Door closed

Test: Ohmmeter check from MSC to MSNC
indicates short circuit.

3.  If the switch does not operate as described

above, replace all the switches. Repeat the
above tests.

COMPONENT TEST PROCEDURES

HIGH VOLTAGE COMPONENT OPERA-
TIONAL TEST

In this section we have tried to lay these tests
out in a logical sequence so that you can iso-
late any suspected high voltage problem.
1.  Unplug oven from its power source.
2.  After removing the cabinet discharge the

capacitor by shorting the two capacitor ter-
minals together with an insulated screw-
driver.

3.  Visually check the high voltage wiring for

proper connections. Refer to wiring dia-
gram for proper wiring sequence.

CAUTIONS:

HIGH VOLTAGES ARE PRE-

SENT DURING THE COOK (HIGH) CYCLE,
SO EXTREME CAUTION SHOULD BE
OBSERVED. WHEN TESTS ARE COMPLETE,
ALWAYS UNPLUG THE OVEN FROM ITS
POWER SOURCE AND DISCHARGE THE
CAPACITOR.

NOTE:

DO NOT TOUCH ANY OVEN COM-

PONENTS OR WIRING DURING OVEN
OPERATION.

POWER TRANSFORMER TESTS 
TRANSFORMER INPUT VOLTAGE
CHECK

An operational test can be made in order to
determine whether or not primary power is
being applied to the transformer.

CAUTION: 

APPROXIMATELY 

2070

V AC IS

PRESENT AT THE 

HIGH VOLTAGE TERMI-

NAL

OF POWER TRANSFORMER DURING

COOK CYCLE. OBSERVE CAUTION AT ALL
TIMES.
1. With the oven power cord unplugged and

cabinet removed, discharge the capacitor
with an insulated screwdriver.

2.  With alligator clips, connect a meter capable

of measuring at least 

230

V AC, across the

input terminals to the transformer.

3. Plug oven in and set for regular cook opera-

tion. If all primary circuits are functioning
properly, 

230

V should be applied and meas-

ured across transformer.

FILAMENT VOLTAGE CHECK

An operational test can be made in order to
determine the amount of filament voltage pro-
duced by the power transformer.

CAUTION: 

APPROXIMATELY 

2070

 VOLTS AC

ARE PRESENT AT THE HIGH VOLTAGE TER-
MINAL OF THE POWER TRANSFORMER
DURING COOK (HIGH CYCLE). OBSERVE
CAUTION AT ALL TIMES.
1.  With oven power cord unplugged and cab-

inet removed, discharge the capacitor with
an insulated screwdriver.

2.  Remove the high voltage lead that con-

nects the capacitor to the high voltage ter-
minals.

NOTE:

DURING TEST OPERATION, KEEP
METER, HANDS, ETC., WELL
AWAY FROM THE HIGH VOLTAGE
TERMINALS OF THE POWER
TRANSFORMER.

3.  With alligator clips, connect a meter capa-

ble of measuring up to 10 Volts AC across
the magnetron filament terminals.

4.  Apply power to the oven and put the oven

into cook (high) cycle to get a filament volt-
age reading. A normal indication should be
approximately 2.8 to 3.75 Volts AC. Unplug
the oven before disconnecting the meter
leads.

5.  If a normal 2.8 to 3.75 Volts AC reading

was indicated on the meter, go to step 6.

6. If the input voltage is normal, but no fila-

ment voltage is present, replace the power
transformer.
