Capacitor, Capacitor Band and Rectifier
The capacitor is held in place by the capacitor band.
The capacitor band is attached to the base plate with a
screw on one side, while the other side fits into a chan-
nel in the base plate. One end of the rectifier is con-
nected to the capacitor band with a screw, the other
end is attached to the wire connector at the capacitor
end of the wire between the capacitor and the mag-
netron.
Capacitor and Capacitor Band - To remove the
capacitor and capacitor band, the cabinet case must
first be removed. Then, use a needle-nose pliers to dis-
connect the “Positive-Lock” wire connectors from the
capacitor
(See Figure 4-20). Extract the screw that
holds the capacitor band to the base plate and pull the
capacitor and capacitor band from the base plate
(See
Figure 4-21). Now, flex the legs of the capacitor band
away from each other to release the capacitor from the
band.
Rectifier - To remove the rectifier, follow the steps list-
ed above to dismount the capacitor band first. Then,
extract the screw which holds the rectifier to the capaci-
tor band and cut off the wire connector at the capacitor
end of the wire between the capacitor and the mag-
netron.
(See Figure 4-22)
Transformer
Two corners of the transformer base fit into channels on
the microwave oven base plate. Screws passing up
through the base plate hold the other two corners of the
transformer base to the base plate.
To remove the transformer, the cabinet case must first
be removed. Then, use a needle-nose pliers to discon-
nect the “Positive-Lock” wire connectors from the trans-
former along with the “Positive-Lock” wire connector on
the white wire at the capacitor
(See Figure 4-20). Now,
extract the transformer mounting screws from the bot-
tom side of the base plate and lift the transformer off of
the base plate.
