MWO TROUBLESHOOTING FLOW CHART
SMART BOARD
The SMART BOARD contains the power relay,
LVT, vent blower triac, surface light relays, and
other components to perform the proper
switching circuits. Several disconnect plugs are
also located on the SMART BOARD:
CON 01 - Ribbon Connector
CON 02 - Vent Blower Connector
CON 03 - Primary L.V.T & Main Relay
CON 04 - Door Sensing & Probe Connector
CON 05 - Gas Sensor Connector
(PLMV168, GLMV168)
Many diagnostic circuit tests can be made at the
disconnect plugs. (Refer to diagnosis flow chart
and simplified schematic in mini-manuals.)
CONTROL PERFORMANCE TEST
Set Clock-Touch clock pad, enter time of day,
AM/PM touch start pad.
Alternately touch each function pad and enter
time or temperature selection for the function.
Also change power levels.
Touch Clear-Off after each function test to
clear that function.
Repeat procedure for each function to
exercise each pad.
Control and display should respond to each entry.
Display should revert to Time-Of-Day after each
Clear-Off. Refer results to Diagnostic Flow Chart.
KEY PANEL TEST
If necessary the key panel pads can be verified
by a continuity test. For ease of handling the key
panel should be removed and placed on a flat
surface.
Check continity between connections at end of
ribbon (Use high scale).

SENSOR COOKING
The Sensor Cooking function uses a special gas
sensor which detects both humidty (steam) and
hydrocarbons (food odors) during the cooking
process, The sensor is a plug-in device located in
the vent area at the top left hand corner of the

WARNING!
TO PREVENT ELECTRICAL SHOCK, USE
EXTREME CAUTION WHEN DIAGNOSING
OVEN WITH OUTER CASE REMOVED AND
POWER "ON". THE HIGH VOLTAGE SECTION
OF THE POWER SUPPLY, INCLUDING
FILAMENT LEADS HAVE THE POTENTIAL
WITH RESPECT TO GROUND TO REACH
4000 VOLTS!
HIGH VOLTAGE CAPACITOR
The high voltage capacitor has an internal shunt
resistor to automatically discharge the capacitor
when the oven turns "off". Under normal
operation the capacitor should fully discharge
within 30 seconds.
WARNING!
Always be certain the capacitor is
discharged before servicing.
Discharge by placing an insulated handle
screw driver between the diode connection of
the capacitor and oven chassis ground.
PERFORMANCE TEST
1. Measure line voltage (loaded). This test is based
on normal voltage variations of 105V to 130V.
Low voltage will lower output power and
temperature rise.
2. Place WB64 X0073 beaker containing one liter
water (1000ml, 59
F~75 F) on turn table and
record the starting water temperature with
an accurate thermometor.
(DO NOT USE ANY OTHER LOAD OR DISH AS
RESULTS WILL VERY FROM STANDARD!)
3. Set at HIGH power for 2 minutes, and 3 sec.
4. Turn on the oven.
5. Record end water temperature.
The minimum difference between the initial
and ending temperature should be:
40 F @ 120 V
INTERLOCKS (DOOR Latch Switches)
Interlocks are designed as follows:
Primary - Bottom switch operated by bottom
latch pawl connected to line (L) leg.

HOW TO TEST INTERLOCKS
1. Disconnect power, open control panel,
and discharge capacitor.
Primary
2. Check Continuity of Com and N.O. :
Door Closed –
Door Open –
MONITOR SWITCH
The monitor switch is located between the top
and bottom interlocks. The monitor switch is
operated indirectly by the bottom latch pawl.
HOW TEST MONITOR
1. Disconnect power, open control panel, and
discharge capacitor.
2. Disconnect monitor switch leads, and test at
terminals:
Door Closed –
Door Open –
3. Reconnect switch wiring.
4. Test Circuit Operation:
A) Connect temporary jumper across relay
contacts and primary switch to simulate
shorted switch contacts. Locate
convenient connections in circuit to be
certain COM and N.O. terminals are used.
B) Connect OHM meter (Low Scale) across
the two line terminals of appliance power
cord.
Continuity must show:
