If the display fails to clear when the STOP/CLEAR pad is depressed, first verify the flat ribbon cable is
making good contact, verify that the door sensing switch (stop switch) operates properly; that is the
contacts are closed when the door is closed and open when the door is open. If the door sensing switch
(stop switch) is good, disconnect the flat ribbon cable that connects the key unit to the control unit and
make sure the door sensing switch is closed (either close the door or short the door sensing switch
connecter). Use the key unit matrix indicated on the control panel schematic and place a jumper wire
between the pins that correspond to the STOP/CLEAR pad making momentary contact.
Q
TOUCH CONTROL PANEL ASSEMBLY TEST
The touch control panel consists of circuits including semiconductors such as LSI, ICs, etc. Therefore,
unlike conventional microwave ovens, proper maintenance cannot be performed with only a voltmeter
and ohmmeter.
In this service manual, the touch control panel assembly is divided into two units, Control Unit and Key
Unit and troubleshooting by unit replacement is described according to the symptoms indicated.
1. Key Unit. Note : Check key unit ribbon connection before replacement.
The following symptoms indicate a defective key unit. Replace the key unit.
a) When touching the pads, a certain pad produces no signal at all.
b) When touching a number pad, two figures or more are displayed.
c) When touching the pads, sometimes a pad produces no signal.
2. Control Unit
The following symptoms indicate a defective control unit. Replace the control unit.
2-1 In connection with pads.
a) When touching the pads, a certain group of pads do not produce a signal.
b) When touching the pads, no pads produce a signal.
2-2 In connection with indicators
a) At a certain digit, all or some segments do not light up.
b) At a certain digit, brightness is low.
c) Only one indicator does not light.
d) The corresponding segments of all digits do not light up; or they continue to light up.
e) Wrong figure appears.
f) A certain group of indicators do not light up.
g) All digits in the figure flicker.
2-3 Other possible troubles caused by defective control unit.
a) Buzzer does not sound or continues to sound.
b) Clock does not operate properly.
c) Cooking is not possible.
d) Proper temperature measurement is not obtained.
Note: When defective components, the Control Unit or Key Unit are replaced, the defective part or parts
must be properly packed for return in the shipping carton, with its cushion material, in which the
new replacement part was shipped to you.

OUTER CASE SWITCH TEST
Isolate the switch and connect the ohmmeter to the common (COM.) and normally open (NO) terminal
of the switch. The meter should indicated an open circuit when its plunger is release, and a closed circuit
when its plunger is pushed. If improper operation is indicated, replace the outer case switch.

temperature is reached (audible signal sounds four times). The temperature experienced may be
approx. 30˚F more or less than indicated on the display, however, in most cases the food cooking results
will be satisfactory.
Difference in power supply voltage will also affect the oven temperature. The Household power supply
voltage may sometimes become lower than the rated voltage (120 V) and cause under-cooking. If the
power supply voltage is 10% lower than the rated voltage, longer cooking time is required by 10% to 20%.
