Important Safety Information

WARNING

Read the following information to avoid possible exposure to microwave radiation:

The basic design of the Amana Microwave Oven makes it an inherently safe device to both use and service. However, there are some precautions which should be followed when servicing the Microwave Oven to maintain this safety. These are as follows:

1. Always operate the unit from an adequately grounded outlet. Do not operate on a two-wire extension cord.

2. Before servicing the unit (if unit is operable) perform the microwave leakage test.

3. The oven should never be operated if the door does not fit properly against the seal, the hinges or hinge bearings are damaged or broken; the choke is damaged, (pieces missing, etc.); or any other visible damage can be noted. Check the choke area to ensure that this area is clean and free of all foreign matter.

4. If the oven operates with the door open and produces microwave energy, take the following steps: A. Tell the user not to operate the oven. B. Contact Maytag immediately.

5. Always have the oven disconnected when the outer case is removed except when making the "live" tests called for in this Service Manual. Do not reach into the equipment area while the unit is energized. Make all connections for the test and check them for tightness before plugging the cord into the outlet.

6. Always ground the capacitors on the magnetron filter box with an insulated-handle screwdriver before working in the high voltage area of the equipment compartment. Some types of failures will leave a charge in these capacitors and the discharge could cause a reflex action which could make you injure yourself.

7. Always remember that in the area of the transformer there is HIGH VOLTAGE. When the unit is operating keep this area clear and free of anything which could possibly cause an arc or ground, etc.

8. Do not for any reason defeat the interlock switches there is not a valid reason for this action at anytime; nor will it be condoned by Maytag.

9. IMPORTANT: Before returning a unit to a customer, be sure to check for proper switch interlock action.

10. Before returning a unit to a customer, verify that the door spacing is reasonably uniform along the top, bottom, and sides, and that it measure 1/64"/0.5mm or less.

11. Microwave ovens should never be operated with any components removed and/or bypassed or when any of the safety interlocks are found to be failing or when any of the seal surfaces are failing, missing or damaged.

12. All microwave ovens meet all requirements of the radiation control for Health and Safety Act of 1968. Due to measurement uncertainties, the maximum leakage for the field will be 4mw/cm

13. To ensure that the unit does not emit excessive microwave leakage and to meet the Department of Health and Human Services guidelines, check the oven for microwave leakage using a leakage monitor. The maximum leakage level allowed when following those instructions is 4mw/cm2.

14. If servicer encounters an emission reading over 4mw/cm2, the servicer is to cease repair and contact the Commercial Support Center immediately for further direction. Maytag will contact the proper Government Agency upon verification of the test results.

• Any failed 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 oven is released to the consumer.

• Check microwave leakage to verify compliance with the federal performance standard should be performed on each oven prior to release to the consumer.

WARNING

To avoid risk of electrical shock, injury or death; make sure these grounding instructions are followed.

Grounding Instructions

WARNING

Do not remove grounding prong when installing grounded appliance in a home or business that does not have three wire grounding receptacle, under no condition is grounding prong to be cut off or removed. It is the personal responsibility of the consumer to contact a qualified electrician and have properly grounded three prong wall receptacle installed in accordance with appropriate electrical codes.

WARNING

To avoid the risk of electrical shock or death, do not alter the plug.

WARNING

To avoid the risk of electrical shock or death, this equipment must be grounded.

This equipment MUST be grounded. In the event of an electrical short circuit, grounding reduces the risk of electric shock by providing an escape wire for the electric current. This oven is equipped with a cord having a grounding wire with a grounding plug. The plug must be plugged into an outlet that is properly installed and grounded.

Consult a qualified electrician or servicer if grounding instructions are not completely understood, or if doubt exists as to whether the equipment is properly grounded.

Do not use an extension cord. If the product power cord is too short, have a qualified electrician install a threeslot receptacle. This oven should be plugged into a separate 60 hertz circuit with the electrical rating as shown in the appropriate drawing. Models operate with a 120 supply voltage. When a microwave oven is on a circuit with other equipment, an increase in cooking times may be required and fuses can be blown.

Important Safety Information

Servicing of Grounded Products

The standard accepted color coding for grounding wires is GREEN or GREEN WITH YELLOW STRIPE. These ground leads are NOT to be used as current carrying conductors. It is extremely important that the technician replace any and all grounds prior to completion of the service call. Under no condition should ground wire be left off causing a potential hazard to technicians and consumer.

Wiring

A good service practice is never route wiring over terminals and/ or sharp edges. This applies to any wiring without regard to the circuit voltage. Wire installation material and thickness is designed and regulated for electrical spacing purpose only, but cannot always be relied upon because of possible cuts and/or abrasions, which can occur during servicing.

WARNING

To avoid risk of electrical shock, personal injury or death; verify the oven is properly grounded and polarized.

Explanation

Polarization–This means that the larger slot must be

neutral and the small slot must be hot (live). Mispolarized–The outlet is miswired so that the larger slot is hot (live) and the smaller slot is neutral. Grounded–This means the round hole connection is connected to earth ground through a connection to the main power panel. Ungrounded–The round hole connection is not complete to earth ground and/or the main power panel.

Test Procedures (2 Methods)

Method #1

Use a ground monitor plug available for purchased at local hardware store. The lamps inside the monitor indicate a correctly or incorrectly wired outlet by instructions imprinted on the monitor body.

Proper Grounding and Polarization of 120 Volts Wall Outlets

For the safety of our customers and the service technician ALL appliances have a three–prong power cord and MUST be connected to a properly polarized and grounded wall outlet.

This information was written for those who do not understand grounding and polarization of a wall outlet.

A 120 volt wall outlet must always be wired as shown below.

Neutral (N) - This slot is the larger of the two and should be neutral (dead) with respect to ground.

Ground (G) - The round hole connectio n is for the groundi ng circuit. Behin d the cover plate a green wire should be conne cted to this terminal.

Hot (H) - This slot is the smaller size and should always be hot (live) with respect to neutral (N) and ground(G).

Method #2

Voltmeter - (Use scale over 125 Volts A.C.)

• Test A - "H" to "N" must indicate line voltage.

• Test B - "H" to "G" must indicate line voltage.

• Test C - "N" to "G" must indicate zero (0) volts.

If "N" to "G" indicates line voltage the outlet is improperly polarized.

If "H" to "G" indicates zero (0) volts the outlet is not grounded.

CAUTION

To avoid risk of electrical shock, personal injury or property damage; wiring changes or grounding of wall outlet are to be made only by a qualified electrician.

General Test Information

Most testing in the manual is conducted with an ohmmeter using a multiplier scale of X 10k (k–thousand ohms). When using this scale, it is important that your fingers do not touch the metal parts of the test probes. To do so will give a false indication of the ohm reading.

General Information

Unpacking Equipment

• Inspect equipment for damage such as dents in door or dents inside oven cavity.

• Report any dents or breakage to source of purchase immediately. Do not attempt to use oven if damaged.

• Remove all materials from oven interior.

Equipment Placement

• Do not install equipment next to or above source of heat, such as pizza oven or deep fat fryer. This could cause microwave oven to operate improperly and could shorten life of electrical parts.

• Do not block or obstruct air filter. Allow access for cleaning.

• Install on level countertop surface.

Radio Interference

Microwave operation may cause interference to radio, television, or similar equipment. Reduce or eliminate interference by doing the following:

• Clean door and sealing surfaces of oven according to instructions in “Care and Cleaning” section.

• Place radio, television, etc. as far as possible from oven.

• Use a properly installed antenna on radio, television, etc. to obtain stronger signal reception.

CAUTION

• Verify proper earthing before checking for trouble.

• Be careful of the high voltage circuit.

• Discharge the high voltage capacitor.

• When checking the continuity of the switches or of 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.

• Do not touch any part of the circuit on the controller, since static electric discharge may damage the control panel. Always touch yourself to earth while working on this panel to discharge any static charge built up in your body.

Service Information

To avoid risk of electrical shock, personal injury, or death, disconnect power to oven and discharge capacitor before servicing, unless testing requires power.

Proper Handling of Magnetron Tubes

CAUTION

A magnetron tube, like a radio or television tube must be handled with a reasonable amount of care. When handling a tube, always handle by the housing only. Use caution not to touch or strike the ceramic portion at the top. The carton used to ship service replacement tubes is reusable.

Magnetron Failure Modes

Magnetron failures that have been identified are generally grouped into categories shown below.

1. Shorted Air - This is a case where the tube has had the vacuum

envelope destroyed and air has entered the tube. This will cause internal arcing and high secondary current if high voltage is applied.

R.F. Capacitors - May short to chassis. This condition

will also cause loss of high voltage.

WARNING

2. Open Heater (Filament) - Can be determined by a ohmmeter when transformer leads are disconnected. Resistance is normally less than one ohm; filament does not short internally. Any tube removed should be checked since usage tends to make the filament more fragile. Later handling and shipping may open the filament and thereby mask the true failure mode when checked at the factory.

3. Low Power - Caused by “wearout” of the emission characteristics of the directly heated cathode. Symptoms are: (1) tube current will take longer to get to operating point then a new tube (normally about 2 - 3 seconds), (2) tube current does not get high enough to cause the tube to oscillate with normal line voltage, (3) oven produces low power into a load, two-thirds or less than normal.

4. Physical Damage - Caused by mishandling of magnetron tube.

Microwave Leakage Testing

To avoid risk of electrical shock, personal injury, or death, disconnect power to oven and discharge capacitor before servicing, unless testing requires power.

WARNING

Measurement with the Outer Panel

WARNING

Check for radiation leakage after servicing. Should the leakage be more than 4 mW/cm immediately. After repairing or replacing any radiation safety device, keep a written record for future reference, as required by D.H.H.S. and HEW regulations. This requirement must be strictly observed. In addition, the leakage reading must be recorded on the service repair ticket while in the customer’s home.

Equipment

• Electromagnetic radiation monitor

• 600 cc glass beaker or plastic power bowl

inform Maytag

Removed

WARNING

Avoid contacting any high voltage components.

Whenever you replace the magnetron, measure for radiation leakage before the outer panel is installed and after all necessary components are replaced or adjusted. Special care should be taken in measuring around the magnetron.

Measurement with a Fully Assembled Oven

Procedure for Measuring Radiation Leakage

Note before measuring:

• Do not exceed meter full scale deflection. Leak monitor should initially be set to the highest scale.

• To prevent false readings the test probe should be held by the grip portion of the handle only.

• The scan speed is equal to one inch per antenna revolution or one inch per second if antenna speed is unknown.

• Areas to be checked are all door seal areas and any venting parts.

• Leakage with the outer panel removed ...4mW/cm less.

• Leakage for fully assembled oven with door normally closed ...4 mW/cm

• Leakage for a fully assembly oven (before the latch switch (primary) is interrupted) while pulling the door ... 4 mW/cm

1. Pour 275 cc ±15 cc (9 oz ±1/2 oz) of 20°C ± 5°C (68°F ± 9°F) water in a beaker which is graduated to 600 cc and place the beaker in the center of oven.

2. Set the radiation monitor to 2450 MHz and use it following the manufacturer’s recommended test procedure to assure correct results.

3. While measuring the leakage, always use the two inch (5 cm) spacer supplied with the probe.

4. Press the start pad or turn on the timer and with the magnetron oscillating, measure the leakage by holding the probe perpendicular to the surface being measured.

or less.

After all components including the outer panel are fully assembled, measure for radiation leakage around the door periphery, the door viewing window, the exhaust opening, and air inlet openings.

Record Keeping and Notification After Measurement

1. After any adjustment or repair to a microwave oven, a leakage reading must be taken. Record this leakage reading on the repair ticket even if it is zero.

2. A copy of the repair ticket and the microwave leakage reading should be kept by the repair facility.

used with the 2" (5 cm) cone spacer. Water load of 275 cc. (approximately 1 the oven and used as a load during leakage tests.

Operate the instrument on its internal 9 Volt battery power supply. “Range” switch is used on low and high while using test probe. On an oven with an unknown leakage, use high scale then switch to low scale and test for low leakage. “Bat Test” switch is used to check the battery and probe on the Holaday Instruments. If either is faulty, meter needle will not read above “Test Minimum” or battery mark on meter. Holaday Instrument has a probe test switch position. Meter needle must indicate in the “OK probe test” portion of the scale when in this position. Zero control is used to zero the needle. “ON-OFF” switch provides a means of turning the operating voltage on or off. “Range Multiplier” switch provides a means of selection either 0-2 or 0-10 and 0-100 on the Holaday Instruments sensitivity ranges.

/3 cup), is to be placed in

WARNING

Hold probe perpendicular to cabinet door. Place cone of probe on the door and/or cabinet door seam and move along the seam. If leakage of the oven is unknown, move probe slowly. Proceed with care in order not to exceed a full scale reading of meter. When testing near a corner or access area of door, keep probe perpendicular to the areas making sure probe end at the base of the cone does not get closer than 2” (5cm) to any metal. If it does, an erroneous reading may result.

Always use the 2” (5cm) spacer with probe. Also, always proceed carefully in areas of high leakage or probe can be accidentally burned-out. Rotating antenna causes high peaks of energy. Although meter has averaging capabilities, probe will react instantaneously to peak power changes which will cause burn-out.

NOTE: For further instructions see Amana Service

Letters of the R-10, R-35, and R-59 of your Instrument Instruction Manual.

NOTE: Simpson Electric Company Model 380M may

also be used by using the above instructions for guideline and the 380M Instruction Manual.

Test probe must be held by the grip portion of the handle, otherwise a false reading may result if operators hand is between the handle and probe.

If oven is likely to have a large amount of leakage, approach oven slowly with the probe, while observing meter. This is achieved by holding the probe two or three feet from oven surface or gap between door and oven body while observing meter. When high leakage is expected, do not move probe horizontally along the oven surface. This could cause possible probe burn-out. Greatest leakage is generally found at the corners. After maximum leakage is established to be within the meter scale range, then probe may be moved horizontally around the door surface.

Power Test

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.

Test equipment required:

• 1000 ml test container and thermometer (Amana power test kit R0157397 Fahrenheit / Menumaster power test kit M95D5 Celsius).

• 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 procedures 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

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.

1. At end of the cycle, remove test container. Using the thermometer, stir water for five to ten seconds and record temperature (T2).

2. Subtract the starting water temperature (T1), from the ending water temperature (T2) to obtain the temperature rise (?T).

3. 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.
