Service Manual for
RCO Speed Oven
HIGH VOLTAGE (HV) DIODES
Before performing any service that
involves electrical connection or disconnection
and/or exposure to electrical components,
always follow the Electrical LOCKOUT/TAGOUT
Procedure. Disconnect all circuits. Failure to
comply can cause property damage, injury
or death.
The High Voltage Capacitor
retains a 2.5kV DC charge after the oven
has been disconnected from its power source.
The capacitor must be properly discharged
prior to beginning work on any components
in the high voltage area. Failure to comply
can cause property damage, injury or death.

Operational Testing
The right and left Mag circuits use identical components
and wiring. Each Mag circuit has a dedicated 2.4KV
secondary supply from the Mag transformer and a high
voltage doubling circuit (capacitor and diode package)
to step up to the 4KV microwave power.
The primaries of the Mag transformers have 208V or
240V taps auto-selected by the controller PCB, based
on sensed line supply voltage to the oven through the
Tap Relay, to automatically optimize microwave power
at either the 208V or 240V line supply to the unit.
Operations of both right and left Mag circuits are
controlled through a single SSR (Solid State Relay).
The controller PCB, Primary Interlock Switch, and
Secondary Interlock Switch circuits interact to enable
or trigger the Mag SSR only when the oven door is
closed and a microwave recipe is selected.
The Monitor circuit detects failures in the Mag circuits
from the output of the Mag SSR to the Monitor Door
Switch to the Monitor Relay coil. The Monitor circuit
disables the oven by tripping the internal 30A Fast
Blow Fuse if Mag power is detected with the oven’s
door open or ajar through the output contacts of the
Monitor Relay.

Replacing the HV Diodes
1. Remove the unit from its power source and follow
the proper Lockout/Tagout procedures.
2. Remove the top and rear service panel.
3. Discharge the HV Capacitors; refer to the
Discharging The High Voltage System
section of
this manual.
4. Remove the Magnetron Blower Assembly; refer to
the Magnetron Fan Motor Replacement section of
this manual.
