TROUBLESHOOTING GUIDE
When troubleshooting the microwave oven, it is helpful to follow the
Sequence of Operation in performing the checks. Many of the possible
causes of trouble will require that a specific test be performed. These
tests are given a procedure letter which will be found in the “Test Pro-
cedure”section.
IMPORTANT:
If the oven becomes inoperative because of a blown fuse F10A in the
1st. latch switch - 2nd. interlock relay - monitor switch circuit, check the
1st. latch switch, 2nd.interlock relay and monitor switch before replac-
