CAUTION

WARNING TO SERVICE TECHNICIANS

To avoid possible exposure to microwave radiation or energy, visually check the oven for damage to the door and door seal before operating the oven. Use your microwave survey meter to check the amount of leakage before servicing. In the event that the R.F. Ieakage exceeds 4 mw/cm2 at 5 cm, appropriate repair must be made before continuing to service the unit. Check interlock function by operating the door latch. The oven cook cycle should cut off before the door can be opened.

The door and latching assembly contains the radio frequency energy within the oven. The door is protected by three safety interlock switches. Do not attempt to defeat them. Under no circumstances should you try to operate the oven with the door open.

Proper operation of the microwave ovens requires that the magnetron be properly assembled to the waveguide and cavity. Never operate the magnetron unless it is properly installed.

Be sure the “RF” seal is not damaged, and assembled around the magnetron dome properly when installing the magnetron.

Routine service safety procedures should be exercised at all times.

Untrained personnel should not attempt service without a thorough review of the test procedures and safety information contained in this manual.

PRECAUTIONS TO BE OBSERVED BEFORE AND DURING SERVICING TO AVOID POSSIBLE EXPOSURE TO EXCESSIVE MICROWAVE ENERGY.

1.Do not operate or allow the oven to be operated with the door open.

2.Make the following safety checks on all ovens to be serviced before activating the magnetron or other microwave source, and make repairs as necessary:

a)Interlock Operation.

b)Proper Door Closing.

c)Seal and Sealing Surfaces (Arcing, Wear, and Other Damage).

d)Damage to or Loosening of Hinges and Latches.

e)Evidence of Dropping or Abuse.

3.Before turning on microwave power for any service test or inspection within the microwave generating compartments,

check the magnetron, wave guide or transmission line, and cavity for proper alignment, integrity, and connections.

4.Any defective or misadjusted components in the interlock, monitor, door seal, and microwave generation and transmission systems shall be repaired, replaced, or adjusted by procedures described in this manual before the oven is released to the owner.

5.A microwave leakage check to verify compliance with the Federal performance standard should be performed on each oven prior to release to the owner.

6.Do not attempt to operate the oven if the door glass is broken.

CAUTION

KitchenAid microwave ovens have a monitoring system designed to assure proper operation of the safety interlock systems.

The interlock monitor switch will immediately cause the oven fuse to blow if the door is opened while the following combined failure exists:

Primary door interlock switch and/or secondary interlock switch contacts failed in a closed position.

CAUTION: REPLACE BLOWN FUSE WITH 15 AMPERE CLASS H FUSE ONLY.

Before replacing the blown oven fuse, test the upper and lower door interlock switches, cook relay or latch relay, and interlock monitor switch (middle switch) for proper operation as described in the component test procedures.

DO NOT ATTEMPT TO REPAIR STICKING CONTACTS OF ANY INTERLOCK SWITCH, SAFETY SWITCH, OR COOK (LATCH) RELAY (REPLACE SWITCHES).

Any indication of sticking contacts during component test requires replacement of that component to assure reliability of the safety interlock system.

IF THE FUSE IS BLOWN, THE MONITOR, PRIMARY INTERLOCK AND SECONDARY INTERLOCK SWITCHES MUST ALSO BE REPLACED. BE SURE THEY ARE PROPERLY CONNECTED.

NOTES:

For proper repair and assembly of the oven door, refer to page 2-4.

Interlock switches are not adjustable individually.

For proper repair and adjustment of the interlock switches, refer to page 2-8.

WARNING

DISCONNECT FROM POWER SUPPLY BEFORE SERVICING.

CAUTION: HIGH VOLTAGES ARE PRESENT DURING THE COOK CYCLE. EXTREME CAUTION SHOULD BE OBSERVED AT ALL TIMES.

CAUTION: DO NOT TOUCH OVEN COMPONENTS OR WIRING DURING OVEN OPERATION. ATTACH METER LEADS WITH ALLIGATOR CLIPS WHEN MAKING OPERATIONAL TESTS.

CAUTION: IT IS NEITHER NECESSARY NOR ADVISABLE TO ATTEMPT MEASUREMENT OF HIGH VOLTAGES.

CAUTION: BEFORE TOUCHING ANY OVEN COMPONENTS OR WIRING, ALWAYS UNPLUG THE OVEN FROM ITS POWER SOURCE AND DISCHARGE THE CAPACITOR BY USING A

20,000-OHM DISCHARGE RESISTOR.

OR

USE AN INSULATED PLASTICHANDLE SCREWDRIVER AND SHORT ACROSS THE CAPACITOR TERMINALS.

vii

R.F. LEAKAGE TEST

CAUTION

EQUIPMENT

Electromagnetic energy leakage monitor (NARDA 8100B, HOLADAY H1501).

600 ml glass beaker.

Glass thermometer 100°C or 212°F.

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 250 ML (8.0 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 using the pattern shown below:

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 2.5 cm/second, in compliance with U.S. Government Department of Health, Education and Welfare 21 CFR1030, 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.

NOTE: Enter leakage readings in space BEFORE and AFTER on the service document.

All microwave ovens exceeding the emission level of 4 mw/cm2 must be reported to Dept. of Service for microwave ovens immediately and the owner should be told not to use the microwave oven until it has been repaired completely.

If a microwave oven is found to operate with the door open, report to Dept. of Service, the manufacturer and CDRH* immediately. Also tell the owner not to use the oven.

*CDRH: Center for Device and Radiological Health, Food and Drug Administration.

The interlock monitor switch acts as the final safety switch protecting the customer from microwave radiation. If the interlock monitor switch operated to blow the fuse when the interlocks failed you must replace all interlock switches—primary and secondary interlock switches and the monitor switch with new ones because the contacts of those interlock switches may be melted and welded together.

All repairs must be performed in such a manner that microwave energy emissions are minimal.

THEORY OF OPERATION

The microwave oven is powered by the 120volt line. Whenever the door is closed and a cooking function is programmed through the control panel’s keypad, relay contacts on the control board close, and complete a circuit from the L1 side to the neutral side of the line.

The control board uses six relays to operate the various functions of the microwave oven (shown below). The relays are controlled by the microcomputer on the control board, and perform the functions shown below.

Relay 4 controls the speed of the blower motor through the control panel. The base thermal fuse will also turn the blower motor on to its low speed if the temperature reaches 133˚F. The schematic configuration for relay 4 is shown in the following diagram. The relay is explained in further detail on the following

The normally-closed (N.C.) contacts of relay 4 provide a potential circuit for the Base Thermal Fuse (see the following strip circuit). If the base of the oven exceeds 133˚F, the thermal fuse contacts close, and a circuit for the low-speed side of the blower motor is completed, which turns the motor on. The low-speed blower will operate until the base temperature drops below 104˚F and opens the thermal fuse contacts, and turns off.
