TEST PROCEDURES
PROCEDURE
LETTER
COMPONENT TEST
CARRY OUT 3D CHECKS.
A. Isolate the high voltage capacitor from the circuit.
B. Continuity check must be carried out with measuring instrument which is set to the highest resistance
range.
C. A normal capacitor shows continuity for a short time (kick) and then a resistance of about 10M
Ω
after
it has been charged.
D. A short-circuited capacitor shows continuity all the time.
E. An open capacitor constantly shows a resistance about 10 M
Ω
because of its internal 10M
Ω
resistance.
F. When the internal wire is opened in the high voltage capacitor shows an infinite resistance.
G. The resistance across all the terminals and the chassis must be infinite when the capacitor is normal.
If incorrect reading are obtained, the high voltage capacitor must be replaced.
CARRY OUT 4R CHECKS.
D
HIGH VOLTAGE CAPACITOR TEST
E
SWITCH TEST
CARRY OUT 3D CHECKS.
Isolate the switch to be tested and using an ohmmeter check between the terminals as described in the
following table.

NC;
Normally close terminal
If incorrect readings are obtained, make the necessary switch adjustment or replace the switch.
CARRY OUT 4R CHECKS.
CARRY OUT 3D CHECKS.
Disconnect the leads from the terminals of the thermal cut-out. Then using an ohmmeter, make a
continuity test across the two terminals as described in the table below.
CARRY OUT 4R CHECKS.

(closed circuit) (˚C)
(open circuit) (˚C)
(When room temperature
is approx. 20˚C)
Thermal cut-out 125˚C
This is not resetable type.
Above 125˚C
Closed circuit.
Thermal cut-out 95˚C
Below 75˚C
Above 95˚C
Closed circuit.
If incorrect readings are obtained, replace the thermal cut-out.
An open circuit thermal cut-out 95˚C (MG) indicates that the magnetron has overheated, this may be
due to resistricted ventilation, cooling fan failure or a fault condition within the magnetron or HV circuit.
An open circuit thermal cut-out 125˚C (OVEN) indicates that the foods in the oven may catch fire,
this may be due to over heating produced by improper setting of the cooking time or failure of the
control panel.
F
THERMAL CUT-OUT TEST
G
MONITOR RESISTOR TEST
CARRY OUT 3D CHECKS.
Disconnect the leads from the monitor resist. Using an ohmmeter and set on a low range. Check
between the terminals of the monitor resistor.
The resistance of monitor resistor is approx. 0.8 ohms.
If incorrect readings are obtained, replace the monitor resistor. CARRY OUT 4R CHECKS.
