DESCRIPTION AND FUNCTION OF COMPONENTS
DOOR OPEN MECHANISM
The door is opened by pushing the open button on the
control panel, refer to the Figure D-1.
When the open button is pushed, the open button pushes up
the switch lever, and then the switch lever pushes up the
latch head. The latch heads are moved upward and re-
leased from latch hook. Now the door will open.
Figure D-1. Door Open Mechanism
DOOR SENSING AND SECONDARY INTERLOCK
SWITCHES
The secondary interlock switch is mounted in the lower
position of the latch hook and the door sensing switch in the
primary interlock system is mounted in the upper position of
the latch hook. They are activated by the latch heads on the
door. When the door is opened, the switches interrupt the
power to all high voltage components. A cook cycle cannot
take place until the door is firmly closed thereby activating
both interlock switches. The primary interlock system con-
sists of the door sensing switch and primary interlock relay
located on the control circuit board.
MONITOR SWITCH
The monitor switch is activated (the contacts opened) by the
latch head on the door while the door is closed. The switch
is intended to render the oven inoperative, by means of
blowing the C/T fuse, when the contacts of the primary
interlock relay (RY2) and secondary interlock switch fail to
open when the door is opened.
Functions:
1. When the door is opened, the monitor switch contacts
close (to the ON condition) due to their being normally
closed. At this time the primary interlock relay (RY2) and
secondary interlock switch are in the OFF condition
(contacts open) due to its being normally open contact
switches.
2. As the door goes to a closed position, the monitor switch
contacts are first opened and then the door sensing
switch and secondary interlock switch contacts close.
3. If the door is opened, and the primary interlock relay
(RY2) and the secondary interlock switch contact fail to
open, the C/T fuse blows simultaneously with closing of
the monitor switch contacts.
CAUTION: BEFORE REPLACING A BLOWN C/T FUSE,
TEST THE DOOR SENSING SWITCH, PRI-
MARY INTERLOCK RELAY (RY2), SECOND-
ARY INTERLOCK SWITCH AND MONITOR
SWITCH FOR PROPER OPERATION. (RE-
FER TO CHAPTER "TEST PROCEDURE").
NOTE: C/T FUSE AND MONITOR SWITCH ARE
REPLACED AS AN ASSEMBLY.
TURNTABLE MOTOR
The turntable motor rotates the turntable located on the
bottom of the oven cavity, so that the food on the turntable
is cooked evenly. The turntable may turn in either direction.
COOLING FAN MOTOR
The cooling fan motor drives a blade which draws external
cool air. This cool air is directed through the air vents
surrounding the magnetron and cools the magnetron. This
air is channelled through the oven cavity to remove steam
and vapours given off from the heating foods. It is then
exhausted through the exhausting air vents at the oven
cavity.
TEMPERATURE FUSE (OVEN)
The temperature fuse, located on the top of the oven cavity,
is designed to prevent damage to the oven by fire. If the food
load is overcooked, by either error in cook time or defect in
the control unit, the temperature fuse will open.
Under normal operation, the temperature fuse remains
closed. However, when abnormally high temperatures are
reached within the oven cavity, the temperature fuse will
open at 248˚F(120˚C), causing the oven to shut down.
C/T FUSE
1. The C/T fuse blows when the contacts (COM-NO) of the
primary interlock relay (RY2) and secondary interlock
switch remain closed with the oven door open and when
the monitor switch closes.
2. If the wire harness or electrical components are short-
circuited, this C/T fuse blows to prevent an electric shock
or fire hazard.
3. The C/T fuse, located near the magnetron, is designed
to prevent damage to the magnetron. If an over heated
condition develops in the magnetron due to cooling fan
failure, obstructed air guide, dirty or blocked air intake,
etc., the C/T fuse will open.
Under normal operation, the C/T fuse remains closed.
However, when abnormally high temperatures are reached
within the oven cavity, the C/T fuse will open at 248˚F
(120˚C), causing the oven to shut down or when the electric
currents beyond 13A flow, the C/T fuse will open.
