TROUBLESHOOTING GUIDE
When troubleshooting the microwave oven, it is helpful to follow the Sequence of Operation in performing the checks. Many of the possible causes of
trouble will require that a specific test be performed. These tests are given a procedure letter which will be found in the “Test Procedure“ section.
IMPORTANT:
If the oven becomes inoperative because of a blown weak point (1) or (2), check the monitor switch (1) or (2), primary interlock relay RY1, door sens-
ing switch and secondary interlock switch (1) or (2), before replacing the weak point (1) or (2).
Never touch any part in the circuit with your hand or an uninsulated tool while the power supply is connected.
