All Amana and Menumaster microwave oven power outputs are rated using the IEC705 standards. Using the
IEC705 test method requires precision measurements and equipment that is not practical to be performed in the
field. Using the test shown below will indicate if the oven performance is satisfactory.
WARN ING
Test equipment required:
• 1000 ml test container and thermometer (ACP power test bowl part # 12018801).
• Digital watch / watch with a second hand for use on ovens with electromechanical timers.
Important Notes:
• Low line voltage will cause low temperature rise / power output.
• Ovens must be on a dedicated circuit, properly grounded, and polarized. Other equipment on the same
circuit may cause a low temperature rise / power output.
•This test and results are not a true IEC705 test procedure and are only intended to provide servicers with an
easy means of determining if the microwave oven cooking output is correct.
Procedure
1. Fill the test container to the 1000 ml line with cool tap water.
NOTE:Water temperature should be approximately 60°F / 16°C
2. Using the thermometer, stir water for five to ten seconds; measure, and record the temperature (T1).
3. Place test container of water in the center of oven cavity and close door.
4. Heat the water for a 33-second full power cycle.
NOTE:Use a digital watch or a watch with a second hand for ovens with electromechanical timers.
5. At end of the cycle, remove test container. Using the thermometer, stir water for five to ten seconds and record
temperature (T2).
6. Subtract the starting water temperature (T1), from the ending water temperature (T2) to obtain the temperature
rise (∆T).
7. If the temperature rise (∆T) meets or exceeds the minimum, the test is complete. If the temperature rise (∆T)
fails to meet the minimum temperature rise, test the line voltage to verify it is correct. Then repeat steps 1 - 6
making sure to change the water. If the temperature rise (∆T) fails to meet the minimum temperature rise again
the oven will require service.

To avoid risk of electrical shock, personal injury, or death, disconnect power to oven and discharge capacitor
before servicing, unless testing requires power.
CAUTION
!
All repairs as described in this troubleshooting section are to be performed only after the caution procedures one through eight
listed below have been followed.
1. Check grounding before checking for possible causes.
2. Be careful of the high voltage circuit.
3. Discharge high voltage capacitor.
4. When checking the continuity of the switches or the high voltage transformer, disconnect one lead wire from these parts and
then check continuity with the AC plug removed. To do otherwise may result in a false reading or damage to your meter.
5. Do not touch any parts of the circuitry on the P.C. Board circuit since static electric discharge may damage this control
panel. Always touch yourself to ground while working on this panel to discharge any static charge in your body.
6. 208/230 VAC is present in the high voltage circuit board, power relay and primary circuit of low voltage transformer.
7. When troubleshooting, be cautious of possible electrical hazard.
Error Codes
During operation, the display may show the following service codes:
NOTE: Before scheduling service for any error codes, instruct customer to unplug oven for 1 minute,
reconnect power, and retest. If unit operates properly, no service call is required.
