How to use this table:

CK = Check Parts Listed

RE = Replace Parts Listed (after verifying defects)

All other letters indicate which test procedure to be performed.  Test procedures can be found in alphabetical order
on the following pages.

Home fuse or circuit breaker blows
when power cord is plugged into
wall receptacle

Monitor fuse blows when power
cord is plugged into wall receptacle.

All letters and indicators do not
appear in display when power cord
is first plugged into wall outlet.

Display does not operate properly
when STOP/CLEAR key is
touched. (Buzzer should sound and
 " 

:

 " or time of day should appear

IN display.)

Oven lamp does not light when
door is opened.

Oven lamp does not go out when
door is closed.

Oven lamp lights but fan motor
and turntable motor do not operate.

Oven does not go into cook cycle
when START pad is touched

Oven seems to be operating but
little or no heat is produced in oven
load. (Food incompletely cooked or
not cooked at all at end of cook
cycle.)

Oven goes into a cook cycle but
extremely uneven heating is
produced in oven load (food).

Oven does not cook properly when
programmed for Cooking Power 5
mode. (Operates properly on
Cooking Power 10 (HIGH) mode.)

Oven goes into COMPU DEFROST
but food is not defrosted well.

AH sensor does not end during
sensor cooking condition. (Oven
does not shut off after a cup of
water is boiling by sensor cooking)

Oven stops at 16 sec. after starting.
