TEST PROCEDURES (CONT'D)
PROCEDURE
LETTER
COMPONENT TEST
B
C
HIGH VOLTAGE RECTIFIER
CARRY OUT 4R CHECKS.
NOTE: FOR MEASUREMENT OF THE RESISTANCE OF THE RECTIFIER, THE BATTERIES OF THE
MEASURING INSTRUMENT MUST HAVE A VOLTAGE AT LEAST 6 VOLTS, BECAUSE
OTHERWISE AN INFINITE RESISTANCE MIGHT BE SHOWN IN BOTH DIRECTIONS.
D HIGH VOLTAGE CAPACITOR 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.
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.
Table: Terminal Connection of Switch
Plunger Operation COM to NO COM to NC
Released O.C. S.C.
Depressed S.C. O.C.
COM; Common terminal,
NO; Normally open terminal
NC; Normally close terminal
S.C.; Short,
O.C.; Open circuit
If incorrect readings are obtained, make the necessary switch adjustment or replace the switch.
CARRY OUT 4R CHECKS.
F THERMAL CUT-OUT TEST
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
.Table: Thermal cut-out Test
Temperature of "ON" condition Temperature of "OFF" condition Indication ofohmmeter
Parts Name (closed circuit) (˚C) (open circuit) (˚C) (When room temperature
is approx. 20˚C)
Thermal cut-out 145˚C This is not resetable type Above 145˚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 145˚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 145˚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.
An open circuit thermal cut-out 95˚C (FAN) indicates that the fan motor winding has overheated, this
may be due to blocked ventilation or locked cooling fan.
