3 CAUTIONS TO BE OBSERVED WHEN
TROUBLESHOOTING
Unlike many other appliances, the microwave oven is high
voltage, high current device. Though it is free from danger in
ordinary use, extreme care should be taken during repair.
CAUTION
Servicemen should remove their watches and rings whenever working
close to or replacing the magnetron.
3.1. Check the grounding
Do not operate on a 2-wire extension cord. The microwave
oven is designed to be grounded when used. It is imperative,
therefore, to make sure it is grounded properly before
beginning repair work.
3.2. Warning about the electric
charge in the high voltage
capacitor
For about 30 seconds after the oven is turned off, an electric
charge remains in the high voltage capacitor.When replacing or
checking parts, remove the power plug from the outlet and
short the terminal of the high voltage capacitor (terminal of lead
wire from diode) to chassis ground with an insulated handle
screwdriver to discharge. Please be sure to contact the chassis
ground side first and then short to the output terminal.
WARNING
There is high voltage present with high current capabilities in the
circuits of the primary and secondary winding and filament winding of
the high voltage transformer. It is extremely dangerous to work on or
near these circuits with the oven energized.
DO NOT measure the voltage in the high voltage circuit including
filament voltage of the magnetron.
WARNING
Never touch any circuit wiring with your hand nor with an insulated
tool during operation.
3.3. Part replacement.
When troubleshootin g any part of component is to be replaced,
always ensure that the power cord is unplugged from the wall
outlet.
3.4. When the 18 Amp fuse is
blown due to the malfunction
of the monitor interlock
switch:
WARNING
When the 10 Amp fuse is blown due to malfunction of the short
switch, replace all of the components (Primary interlock switch,
Secondary interlock switch, Monitor interlock switch).
1. Thisismandatory.Referto“Measurementsand
Adjustments” for the location of these switches.
2. When replacing the fuse, confirm that it has the appropriate
rating for these models.
3. When replacing faulty switches, be sure mounting tabs are
not bent, broken or deficient in their ability to hold the
switches.
3.5. Avoid inserting nails, wire, etc.
through any holes in the unit
during operation.
Never insert a wire, nail or any other metal object through the
lamp holes on the cavity or any holes or gaps, because such
objects may work as an antenna and cause microwave
leakage.
3.6. Verification after repair
1. After repair or replacement of parts, make sure that the
screws of the oven, etc. are neither loose nor missing.
Microwave energy might leak if screws are not properly
tightened.
2. Make sure that all electrical connections are tight before
inserting the plug into the wall outlet.
3. Check for microwave energy leakage.

WARNING
1. High voltage is present at the high voltage terminal of the high
voltage transformer during any cook cycle.
2. It is neither necessary nor advisable to attempt measurement of the
high voltage.
3. Before touching any oven components, or wiring, always unplug
the power cord and discharge the high voltage capacitor (see page 6).
5.1. Primary, Secondary Interlock
Switch
1. Unplug lead connectors to Primary Interlock Switch and
Secondary Interlock Switch.
2. Test the continuity of switches at door opened and closed
positions with ohm meter (low scale).
Normal continuity readings should be as follows.
5.2. Monitor Interlock Switch
1. Unplug lead wires from H.V.transformer primary terminals.
2. Connect test probes of ohm meter to the disconnected
leads of the H.V. Transformer.
3. Test the continuity of Monitor Interlock Switch with door
opened and closed positions using lowest scale of the ohm
meter.
Normal continuity readings should be as follows.
5.3. High voltage transformer
1. Remove connectors from the transformer terminals and
check continuity.
2. Normal (cold) resistance readings should be as follows:
1. Check continuity of capacitor with meter on highest OHM
scale.
2. A normal capacitor will show continuity for a short time, and
then indicate 9MΩ once the capacitor is charged.
3. A shorted capacitor will show continuous continuity.
4. An open capacitor will show constant 9MΩ.
5. Resistance between each terminal and chassis should be
infinite.
5.5. Magnetron
Continuity checks can only indicate an open filament or a
shorted magnetron. To diagnose for an open filament or
shorted magnetron:
1. Isolate magnetron from the circuit by disconnecting the
leads.
2. A continuity check across magnetron filament terminals
should indicate one ohm or less.
3. A continuity check between each filament terminal and
magnetron case should read open.

Page 10
NE-1022F
5.6. Diode
1. Isolate the diode from the circuit by disconnecting the leads.
2. With the ohmmeter set on the highest resistance scale,
measure the resistance across the diode terminals.
Reverse the meter leads and again observe the resistance
reading. Meter with 6V, 9V or higher voltage batteries
should be used to check the front-to-back resistance of the
diode, otherwise an infinite resistance may be read in both
directions.
A normal diode´s resistance will be infinite in one direction
and several hundred kΩ in the other direction.
5.7. Protector diode
1. Isolate the protector diode assembly from the circuit by
disconnecting its leads.
2. With the ohmmeter set on the highest resistance scale,
measure the resistance across the protector diode

8 TROUBLESHOOTING GUIDE
DANGER: HIGH VOLTAGES
1. Ensure proper grounding before troubleshoot ing.
2. Be careful of 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.
When disconnecting a plastic connector from a terminal, you must hold the plastic connector instead of the lead wire and then disconnect it,
otherwise lead wire may be damaged or the connector cannot be removed.
Before troubleshooting, operate the microwave oven following the correct operating procedures in the instruction manual in order
to find the exact cause of any trouble, since operator error may be mistaken for the oven’s malfunction.
