GENERAL
IMPORTANT SAFETY INFORMATION Your safety and the safety of others is very important.
Important safety messages have been provided in this Job Aid. Always read and obey all safety messages. This is the safety alert symbol. This symbol alerts you to hazards that can kill or hurt you and others. All safety messages will be preceded by the safety alert symbol and the word WARNING. All safety messages will identify the hazard, tell you how to reduce the chance of injury, and tell you what can happen if the instructions are not followed. For continued protection against radiation emission, replace only with these types of switches: Primary (Interlock) Switch: SZM-V16FA-63 or VP-533A-OF; Secondary (Interlock) Switch: SZM-V01-FA-32; Interlock (Monitor) Switch: SZM-VI6-FA-62 or VP-532A-OF; Oven Lamp Switch: SZM-V6-FA-31 or VP-331 AOD. It is neither necessary nor advisable to attempt measurement of high voltage. Attaching the adaptor ground terminal to the wall receptacle cover screw does not ground the appliance unless the cover screw is metal and not insulated and the wall receptacle is grounded through the house wiring.
WARNING
ELECTRICAL SHOCK HAZARD Disconnect power before servicing. Replace all panels before operating. Failure to do so could result in death or electrical shock.

PRECAUTIONS TO BE OBSERVED BEFORE AND DURING SERVICING TO AVOID POSSIBLE EXPOSURE TO EXCESSIVE MICROWAVE ENERGY
A. B. Do not operate or allow the oven to be operated with the door open. Make the following safety checks on all ovens to be serviced before activating the magnetron or other microwave source, and make repairs as necessary: 1) Interlock Operation 2) Proper Door Closing 3) Seal and Sealing Surfaces (Arcing, Wear, and Other Damage) 4) Damage to or Loosening of Hinges and Latches 5) Evidence of Dropping or Abuse Before turning on the microwave power for any service test or inspection within the microwave generating components, check the magnetron, wave guide or transmission line, and cavity for proper alignment, integrity, and connections. D. Any defective or misadjusted components in the interlock, monitor, door seal, and microwave generation and transmission systems shall be repaired, replaced, or adjusted, using procedures described in this Job Aid, before the oven is released to the owner. E. A microwave leakage check to verify compliance with Federal Performance Standard should be performed on each oven prior to release to the owner. F. Do not attempt to operate the oven if the door glass is broken.
C.
1-3
TEST
On every service call, checks for microwave energy emission must be made according to the following manner. 1. Remove the cooking rack from the oven cavity, if the microwave oven is so equipped. 2. Place a 275 15 ML (9.3 oz.) glass of water in the center of the oven bottom. 3. Select "HIGH" cook power, turn the microwave oven on, and test for R.F. Ieakage at the following locations: a) Around the cabinet at the front. b) Around the door. c) Across the console panel. d) Horizontally across the door. e) Vertically across the door. f) Diagonally across the door. g) Across the air vents. h) Across the rear air vent. i) All lockseams. j) Weld at bottom. k) Bottom plate. I) Oven feet. 4. The scan speed is one inch per second. When checking for R.F. Ieakage, use an approved R.F. measuring device to assure less than 4 mw/cm2 emission at 5 cm distance with a maximum scan rate of 2.54 cm/second, in compliance with U.S. Government Department of Health, Education and Welfare 21CFR1030, performance Standard for Microwave Ovens. A properly operating door and seal assembly will normally register small emissions, but they must be no greater than 4 mw/cm2 to allow for measurement uncertainty.

The oven thermostat is located in the high voltage section of the oven and is accessed by removing the control panel. The thermostat is normally-closed and will open at a set temperature to disable the oven. The trip temperature is 194F (90C). The thermostat is resettable.
The vent motor capacitor is located in the high voltage area of the oven and is accessed by removing the control panel. It is in use any time the vent motor is in operation. The capacitor helps to maintain a constant voltage to the vent motor so that it runs smoother and more efficiently.

COMPONENT TESTING
Before testing any of the components, perform the following checks: Disconnect the power supply cord from the outlet before removing the outer cabinet from the unit. Discharge the high voltage capacitor and remove the wires from the primary winding of the high voltage transformer before conducting any of the high voltage component tests. Perform a microwave energy test after completing any repairs to the microwave. Make sure that all wires are properly connected before operating the microwave oven. Grasp the wires by their connectors when removing them from the microwave component terminals.
WARNING
ELECTRICAL SHOCK HAZARD Disconnect power before servicing. Replace all panels before operating. Failure to do so could result in death or electrical shock. To test the touch panel, perform the following steps: 1. Disconnect the electrical power to the microwave oven. 2. Disconnect the ribbon cable from the control board connector.
3. 4.
Set the ohmmeter to the R x 100 scale. Use a pair of alligator clips and clip them to the ribbon contact numbers shown along the top and side of the indicated keyboard matrix, shown below. For example: a) Install alligator clips over contacts 5 and 8 of the ribbon cable. b) Touch the alligator clips with the test leads. c) Press the Cook Time keypad. The meter should indicate a resistance of less than 1000 .
IMPORTANT: Make sure that the alligator clips make positive contact with the contact areas on the ribbon cable.

Refer to page 3-2 for the procedure for servicing the turntable motor. 1. Disconnect the electrical power to the microwave oven. 2. Disconnect the wires from the turntable motor terminals. 3. Set the ohmmeter to the R x 1K scale. 4. Touch the ohmmeter leads to the motor terminals. The meter should indicate between 2500 and 3500 .
Refer to page 3-13 for the procedure for servicing the vent motor. 1. Disconnect the electrical power to the microwave oven. 2. Disconnect the vent motor wires from the control board. 3. Set the ohmmeter to the R x 1 scale. 4. Touch the ohmmeter leads to the indicated vent motor power plug wire connectors. The meter should indicate the following readings: Black to white (Low) = 115 to 125 . Blue to black (High) = 60 to 75 .

WARNING
ELECTRICAL SHOCK HAZARD Disconnect power before servicing. Replace all panels before operating. Failure to do so could result in death or electrical shock. Refer to page 3-10 for the procedure for servicing the vent motor capacitor, page 3-8 for the line fuse and oven thermostat, and page 3-6 for the door switches. 1. Disconnect the electrical power to the microwave oven. 2. Set the ohmmeter to the R x 1 scale. 3. To test the vent motor capacitor: a) Disconnect the vent motor power connector from the main harness connector. b) Touch the ohmmeter leads to the main harness connector with the yellow (pin 6) and white (pin 3) wires. The meter should indicate several ohms and gradually return to infinity.

WARNING
ELECTRICAL SHOCK HAZARD Disconnect power before servicing. Replace all panels before operating. Failure to do so could result in death or electrical shock. Refer to page 3-10 for the procedure for servicing the high voltage capacitor and rectifier. 1. Disconnect the electrical power to the microwave oven. 2. Disconnect the rectifier and wire leads from the high voltage capacitor. 3. To test the high voltage capacitor: a) Set the ohmmeter to the R x 1K scale. b) Touch the ohmmeter leads to the capacitor terminals. The meter should indicate several ohms, and gradually return to infinity. c) Touch one ohmmeter lead to the capacitor case. Touch the other lead to each of the terminals. The meter should indicate infinity at both terminals.
