WARNING:RISK OF ELECTRIC SHOCK.
DISCHARGE THE HIGH-VOLTAGE
CAPACITOR BEFORE SERVICING.
The high-voltage capacitor remains charged about 60
seconds after the oven has been switched off. Wait for 60
seconds and then short-circuit the connection of the highvoltage capacitor (that is the connecting lead of the highvoltage rectifier) against the chassis with the use of an
insulated screwdriver.
Whenever troubleshooting is performed the power supply
must be disconnected. It may, in some cases, be necessary
to connect the power supply after the outer case has been
removed, in this event,
1. Disconnect the power supply cord, and then remove
outer case.
2. Open the door and block it open.
3. Discharge high voltage capacitor.
4. Disconnect the leads to the primary of the power
transformer.
5. Ensure that these leads remain isolated from other
components and oven chassis by using insulation tape.
6. After that procedure, reconnect the power supply cord.
When the testing is completed,
1. Disconnect the power supply cord, and then remove
outer case.
2. Open the door and block it open.
3. Discharge high voltage capacitor.
4. Reconnect the leads to the primary of the power
transformer.
5. Reinstall the outer case (cabinet).
6. Reconnect the power supply cord after the outer case is
installed.
7. Run the oven and check all functions.
After repairing
1. Reconnect all leads removed from components during
testing.
2. Reinstall the outer case (cabinet).
3. Reconnect the power supply cord after the outer case is
installed.
4. Run the oven and check all functions.
Microwave ovens should not be run empty. To test for the
presence of microwave energy within a cavity, place a cup
of cold water on the oven turntable, close the door and set
the power to HIGH and set the microwave timer for two (2)
minutes. When the two minutes has elapsed (timer at zero)
carefully check that the water is now hot. If the water
remains cold carry out Before Servicing procedure and reexamine the connections to the component being tested.
When all service work is completed and the oven is fully
assembled, the microwave power output should be checked
and microwave leakage test should be carried out.

MICROW A VE MEASUREMENT PROCEDURE
A. Requirements:
1) Microwave leakage limit (Power density limit): The power density of microwave radiation emitted by a microwave oven
should not exceed 1mW/cm2 at any point 5cm or more from the external surface of the oven, measured prior to acquisition
by a purchaser, and thereafter (through the useful life of the oven), 5 mW/cm2 at any point 5cm or more from the external
surface of the oven.
2) Safety interlock switches: Primary interlock switch shall prevent microwave radiation emission in excess of the
requirement as above mentioned, secondary interlock relay and door sensing switch shall prevent microwave radiation
emission in excess of 5 mW/cm2 at any point 5cm or more from the external surface of the oven.
B. Preparation for testing:
Before beginning the actual measurement of leakage, proceed as follows:
1) Make sure that the actual instrument is operating normally as specified in its instruction booklet.
Important:
Survey instruments that comply with the requirement for instrumentation as prescribed by the performance standard
for microwave ovens, 21 CFR 1030.10(c)(3)(i), must be used for testing.
2) Place the oven tray in the oven cavity.
3) Place the load of 275±15 ml (9.8 oz) of tap water initially at 20±5˚C (68˚F) in the center of the oven cavity.
The water container shall be a low form of 600 ml (20 oz) beaker with an inside diameter of approx. 8.5 cm (3-1/2 in.)
and made of an electrically nonconductive material such as glass or plastic.
The placing of this standard load in the oven is important not only to protect the oven, but also to insure that any leakage
is measured accurately.
4) Set the cooking control on Full Power Cooking Mode
5) Close the door and select a cook cycle of several minutes. If the water begins to boil before the survey is completed,
replace it with 275 ml of cool water.
C. Leakage test:
Closed-door leakage test (microwave measurement)
1) Grasp the probe of the survey instrument and hold it perpendicular to the gap between the door and the body of the oven.
2) Move the probe slowly, not faster than 1 in./sec. (2.5 cm/sec.) along the gap, watching for the maximum indication on
the meter.
3) Check for leakage at the door screen, sheet metal seams and other accessible positions where the continuity of the metal
has been breached (eg., around the switches, indicator, and vents).
While testing for leakage around the door pull the door away from the front of the oven as far as is permitted by the closed
latch assembly.
4) Measure carefully at the point of highest leakage and make sure that the highest leakage is no greater than 4mW/cm2,
and that the primary interlock switch does turn the oven OFF before any door movement.
NOTE: After servicing, record data on service invoice and microwave leakage report.

OPERATION
DESCRIPTION OF OPERATING SEQUENCE
R-1500
R-1501
R-1505
R-1506
The following is a description of component functions during
oven operation.
OFF CONDITION
Closing the door activates the door sensing switch and
primary interlock switch. (In this condition, the monitor
switch contacts are opened.)
When oven is plugged in, 120 volts A.C. is supplied to the
control unit. (Figure O-1).
1. The display will show flashing "88 : 88".
To set any program or set the clock, you must first
touch the STOP/CLEAR button. The display will clear,
and " : " will appear .
COOKING CONDITION
Program desired cooking time touching the NUMBER pads.
When the START button is touched, the following operations occur:
1. The contacts of relays are closed and components
connected to the relays are turned on as follows.
(For details, refer to Figure O-2)
RELAYCONNECTED COMPONENTS
RY1Oven lamp / Fan motor / Turntable motor
RY2Power transformer
RY3, RY4 Hood fan motor
RY5, RY6 Hood lamp
2. 120 volts A.C. is supplied to the primary winding of the
power transformer and is converted to about 3.3 volts
A.C. output on the filament winding, and approximately
2000 volts A.C. on the high voltage winding.
3. The filament winding voltage heats the magnetron
filament and the H.V. winding voltage is sent to a voltage
doubler circuit.
4. The microwave energy produced by the magnetron is
channelled through the waveguide into the cavity feedbox, and then into the cavity where the food is placed to
be cooked.
5. Upon completion of the cooking time, the power
transformer, oven lamp, etc. are turned off, and the
generation of microwave energy is stopped. The oven
will revert to the OFF condition.
6. When the door is opened during a cook cycle, monitor
switch, door sensing switch, primary interlock switch,
relay (RY1) and secondary interlock relay (RY2) are
activated with the following results. The circuits to the
cooling fan motor, the turntable motor, and the high
voltage components are de-energized, the oven lamp
remains on, and the digital read-out displays the time still
remaining in the cook cycle when the door was opened.
7. The monitor switch is electrically monitoring the operation
of the primary interlock switch and secondary interlock
relay (RY2) and is mechanically associated with the door
so that it will function in the following sequence.
(1) When the door opens from a closed position, the
secondary interlock relay (RY2) and primary interlock
switch open their contacts. And contacts of the relay
(RY1) remains closed. Then the monitor switch
contacts close.
(2) When the door is closed from the open position, the
monitor switch contacts first open, and then the
contacts of the primary interlock switch and door
sensing switch close. And contacts of the relay
(RY1) open.
If the primary interlock switch and secondary interlock relay
(RY2) fail with their contacts closed when the door is
opened, the closing of the monitor switch contacts will form
a short circuit through the monitor fuse, primary interlock
switch, relay (RY1) and secondary interlock relay (RY2),
causing the monitor fuse to blow.
POWER LEVEL P-0 TO P-90 COOKING
When Variable Cooking Power is programmed, the 120
volts A.C. is supplied to the power transformer intermittently
through the contacts of relay (RY2) which is operated by the
control unit within an interval second time base. Microwave
power operation is as follows:
VARI-MODEON TIMEOFF TIME
Power 10(P-HI)32 sec.0 sec.
(100% power)
Power 9(P-90)30 sec.2 sec.
(approx. 90% power)

(approx. 80% power)
Power 7(P-70)24 sec.8 sec.
(approx. 70% power)
Power 6(P-60)22 sec.10 sec.
(approx. 60% power)
Power 5(P-50)18 sec.14 sec.
(approx. 50% power)
Power 4(P-40)16 sec.16 sec.

Note: The ON/OFF time ratio does not correspond with
the percentage of microwave power, because
approx. 3 seconds are needed for heating of the
magnetron filament.

DESCRIPTION AND FUNCTION OF COMPONENTS
DOOR OPEN MECHANISM
The door is opened by pushing the open button on the
control panel, refer to the Figure D-1.
When the open button is pushed, the open button pushes up
the open lever, and then the open lever pushes up the latch
head. The latch heads are moved upward and released
from latch hook. Now the door will open.

Figure D-1. Door Open Mechanism
DOOR SENSING AND PRIMARY INTERLOCK
SWITCHES
The primary interlock switch is mounted in the lower position of the latch hook and the door sensing switch in the
secondary interlock system is mounted in the upper position of the latch hook. They are activated by the latch heads
on the door. When the door is opened, the switches interrupt the circuit to all components. A cook cycle cannot take
place until the door is firmly closed thereby activating both
interlock switches. The secondary interlock system consists of the door sensing switch and secondary interlock
relay located on the control circuit board.
MONITOR SWITCH
The monitor switch is activated (the contacts opened) by the
latch head on the door while the door is closed. The switch
is intended to render the oven inoperative by means of
blowing the monitor fuse when the contacts of the secondary interlock relay (RY2) and primary interlock switch fail to
open when the door is opened.
Functions:
1. When the door is opened, the monitor switch contact
close (to the ON condition) due to their being normally
closed. At this time the secondary interlock relay (RY2)
and primary interlock switch are in the OFF condition
(contacts open) due to their being normally open contact
switches. And the contacts of relay (RY1) are in the ON
condition (contacts close).
2. As the door goes to a closed position, the monitor switch
contacts are first opened and then the door sensing
switch and the primary interlock switch contacts close.
(On opening the door, each of these switches operate
inversely.)
3. If the door is opened, and the secondary interlock relay
(RY2) and primary interlock switch contacts fail to open,
the monitor fuse blows simultaneously with closing of the
monitor switch contacts.
CAUTION: BEFORE REPLACING A BLOWN MONITOR
FUSE TEST THE DOOR SENSING SWITCH,
SECONDARY INTERLOCK RELAY (RY2),
RELAY (RY1), PRIMARY INTERLOCK
SWITCH AND MONITOR SWITCH FOR
PROPER OPERATION. (REFER TO CHAPTER "TEST PROCEDURE").
NOTE: MONITOR FUSE AND SWITCH ARE REPLACED
AS AN ASSEMBLY
TEMPERATURE FUSE (MG)
The temperature fuse located on the fan duct assembly is
designed to prevent damage to the magnetron if an over
heated condition develops in the tube due to cooling fan
failure, obstructed air guide, dirty or blocked air intake, etc.
Under normal operation, the temperature fuse remains
closed. However, the temperature fuse will open at 302˚F
(150˚C) causing the oven to shut down.
NOTE: This is a fuse. It does not reset.
THERMAL CUT-OUT (HOOD )
This thermal cut-out located on the right base plate flange
(turntable motor side). It is designed to automatically turn on
the hood fan motor whenever the hot air rising from the
conventional range below causes the temperature at the
thermal cut-out to rise to 140˚F (60˚C) or higher, thus
removing this hot air from around microwave oven. When
the temperature around the thermal cut-out drops to 113˚F
(45˚C) or lower, the thermal cut-out shuts off the hood fan
motor.
THERMAL CUT-OUT (CAVITY )
This thermal cut-out is located on the bottom of the oven
cavity. It is designed to prevent damage to the oven unit if
the food in the oven catches fire due to overheating produced by improper setting of cooking time or failure of
control unit.
Under normal operation, the thermal cut-out remains closed.
However, the thermal cut-out will open at 293˚F (145˚C)
causing the oven to shut down. The defective thermal cutout must be replaced with a new one.
TURNTABLE MOTOR
The turntable motor rotates the turntable located on the
bottom of the oven cavity, so that the foods on the turntable
cook evenly during cooking. Turntable will turn in either
direction. The turntable motor can be turned off by touching
TURNTABLE ON/OFF pad.
COOLING FAN MOTOR
The cooling fan motor drives a blade which draws external
cool air. This cool air is directed through the air vanes
surrounding the magnetron and cools the magnetron. This air
10
is channelled through the oven cavity to remove steam and
vapors given off from the heating foods. It is then exhausted
through the exhausting air vents at the oven cavity.
R-1500
R-1501
R-1505
R-1506
This air is then expelled either vertically or horizontally
through the customer supplied duct system, or discharged
back into the kitchen.
HOOD FAN MOTOR
The hood fan motor is a two-speed, single-phase, double
pole induction type, requiring a hood fan capacitor. It is
located outside the upper rear part of the oven cavity, is to
remove, from around the oven, hot air rising from the
conventional electric or gas range over which it is installed.
HOOD LAMP
The hood lamps are mounted at the hood lamp angle on the
base cover. The hood lamps can be turned off and on by
touching the LIGHT HI/ LO button. And also the brightness
can be varied to high or low by touching the LIGHT HI/ LO
button.
TROUBLESHOOTING GUIDE
Never touch any part in the circuit with your hand or an uninsulated tool while the power supply is connected.
When troubleshooting the microwave oven, it is helpful to follow the Sequence of Operation in performing the checks. Many
of the possible causes of trouble will require that a specific test be performed. These tests are given a procedure letter which
will be found in the "Test Procedure "section.
IMPORTANT: If the oven becomes inoperative because of a blown monitor fuse, check the monitor switch, relay (RY1)
secondary interlock relay (RY2), door sensing switch and primary interlock switch before replacing the
monitor fuse. If monitor fuse is replaced, the monitor switch must also be replaced. Use part FFS-BA016/
KiT as an assembly.
IMPORTANT: Whenever troubleshooting is performed with the power supply cord disconnected. It may in, some cases,
be necessary to connect the power supply cord after the outer case has been removed, in this event,
1. Disconnect the power supply cord, and then remove outer case.
2. Open the door and block it open.

AMAGNETRON ASSEMBLY TEST
1. Disconnect the power supply cord, and then remove outer case.
2. Open the door and block it open.
3. Discharge high voltage capacitor.
4. To test for an open filament, isolate the magnetron from the high voltage circuit. A continuity check
across the magnetron filament leads should indicate less than 1 ohm.
5. To test for a shorted magnetron, connect the ohmmeter leads between the magnetron filament leads
and chassis ground. This test should indicate an infinite resistance. If there is little or no resistance
the magnetron is grounded and must be replaced.
6. Reconnect all leads removed from components during testing.
7. Reinstall the outer case (cabinet).
8. Reconnect the power supply cord after the outer case is installed.
9. Run the oven and check all functions.
MICROWAVE OUTPUT POWER
The following test procedure should be carried out with the microwave oven in a fully assembled
condition (outer case fitted).
HIGH VOLTAGES ARE PRESENT DURING THE COOK CYCLE, SO EXTREME CAUTION SHOULD
BE OBSERVED.
Power output of the magnetron can be measured by performing a water temperature rise test. This test
should only be used if above tests do not indicate a faulty magnetron and there is no defect in the following
components or wiring: silicon rectifier, high voltage capacitor and power transformer. This test will require
a 16 ounce (453cc) measuring cup and an accurate mercury thermometer or thermocouple type
temperature tester. For accurate results, the following procedure must be followed carefully:
1. Fill the measuring cup with 16 oz. (453cc) of tap water and measure the temperature of the water with
a thermometer or thermocouple temperature tester. Stir the thermometer or thermocouple through
the water until the temperature stabilizes. Record the temperature of the water.
2. Place the cup of water in the oven. Operate oven at POWER 10(HIGH) selecting more than 60
seconds cook time. Allow the water to heat for 60 seconds, measuring with a stop watch, second hand
of a watch or the digital read-out countdown.
3. Remove the cup from the oven and again measure the temperature, making sure to stir the
thermometer or thermocouple through the water until the maximum temperature is recorded.
4. Subtract the cold water temperature from the hot water temperature. The normal result should be 29.2
to 54.2˚F(16.2 to 30.1˚C) rise in temperature. If the water temperatures are accurately measured and
tested for the required time period the test results will indicate if the magnetron tube has low power
output (low rise in water temperature) which would extend cooking time or high power output (high
rise in water temperature) which would reduce cooking time. Because cooking time can be adjusted
to compensate for power output, the magnetron tube assembly should be replaced only if the water
temperature rise test indicates a power output well beyond the normal limits. The test is only accurate
if the power supply line voltage is 120 volts and the oven cavity is clean.
COMPONENT TEST
BPOWER TRANSFORMER TEST
1. Disconnect the power supply cord, and then remove outer case.
2. Open the door and block it open.
3. Discharge high voltage capacitor.
4. Disconnect the primary input terminals and measure the resistance of the transformer with an
ohmmeter. Check for continuity of the coils with an ohmmeter. On the R x 1 scale, the resistance of
the primary coil should be less than 1 ohm and the resistance of the high voltage coil should be
approximately 83 ohms; the resistance of the filament coil should be less than 1 ohm.
5. Reconnect all leads removed from components during testing.
6. Reinstall the outer case (cabinet).
7. Reconnect the power supply cord after the outer case is installed.
8. Run the oven and check all functions.

CHIGH VOLTAGE RECTIFIER TEST
1. Disconnect the power supply cord, and then remove outer case.
2. Open the door and block it open.
3. Discharge high voltage capacitor.
4. Isolate the rectifier from the circuit. Using the highest ohm scale of the meter, read the resistance
across the terminals and observe, reverse the leads to the rectifier terminals and observe meter
reading. If a short is indicated in both directions, or if an infinite resistance is read in both directions,
the rectifier is probably defective and should be replaced.
5. Reconnect all leads removed from components during testing.
6. Reinstall the outer case (cabinet).
7. Reconnect the power supply cord after the outer case is installed.
8. Run the oven and check all functions.
NOTE: Be sure to use an ohmmeter that will supply a forward bias voltage of more than 6.3 volts.
DHIGH VOLTAGE CAPACITOR TEST
1. Disconnect the power supply cord, and then remove outer case.
2. Open the door and block it open.
3. Discharge high voltage capacitor.
4. If the capacitor is open, no high voltage will be available to the magnetron. Disconnect input leads
and check for short or open between the terminals using an ohmmeter.
Checking with a high ohm scale, if the high voltage capacitor is normal, the meter will indicate
continuity for a short time and should indicate an open circuit once the capacitor is charged. If the
above is not the case, check the capacitor with an ohmmeter to see if it is shorted between either of
the terminals and case. If it is shorted, replace the capacitor.
5. Reconnect all leads removed from components during testing.
6. Reinstall the outer case (cabinet).
7. Reconnect the power supply cord after the outer case is installed.

1. Disconnect the power supply cord, and then remove outer case.
2. Open the door and block it open.
3. Discharge high voltage capacitor.
4. A continuity check across the thermal cut-out terminals should indicate a closed circuit unless the
temperature of the thermal cut-out reaches approximately 293˚F(145˚C).
An open thermal cut-out indicates overheating of the oven, exchange the oven thermal cut-out and
check inside of oven cavity and for improper setting of cooking time or operation of control unit. Check
for restricted air flow through the vent holes of the oven cavity, especially the cooling fan and air guide.

SERVICING
1. Precautions for Handling Electronic Components
This unit uses CMOS LSI in the integral part of the
circuits. When handling these parts, the following
precautions should be strictly followed. CMOS LSI have
extremely high impedance at its input and output
terminals. For this reason, it is easily influenced by the
surrounding high voltage power source, static electricity
charge in clothes, etc. and sometimes it is not fully
protected by the built-in protection circuit.
In order to protect CMOS LSI.
1) When storing and transporting, thoroughly wrap them in
aluminium foil. Also wrap all PW boards containing them
in aluminium foil.
2) When soldering, ground the technician as shown in the
figure and use grounded soldering iron and work table.

3. Servicing of Touch Control Panel
We describe the procedures to permit servicing of the
touch control panel of the microwave oven and the
precautions you must take when doing so. To perform
the servicing, power to the touch control panel is available
either from the power line of the oven itself or from an
external power source.
(1)Servicing the touch control panel with power supply
of the oven:
CAUTION:
THE HIGH VOLTAGE TRANSFORMER OF THE
MICROWAVE OVEN IS STILL LIVE DURING
SERVICING AND PRESENTS A HAZARD.
Therefore, before checking the performance of the touch
control panel,
1) Disconnect the power supply cord, and then remove
outer case.
2) Open the door and block it open.
3) Discharge high voltage capacitor.
4) Disconnect the leads to the primary of the power
transformer.
5) Ensure that these leads remain isolated from other
components and oven chassis by using insulation
tape.
6) After that procedure, re-connect the power supply
cord.
After checking the performance of the touch control
panel,
1) Disconnect the power supply cord.
2) Open the door and block it open.
3) Re-connect the leads to the primary of the power
transformer.
4) Re-install the outer case (cabinet).
5) Re-connect the power supply cord after the outer case
is installed.
6) Run the oven and check all functions.
A. On some models, the power supply cord between the
touch control panel and the oven itself is so short that the
two can’t be separated. For those models, check and
repair all the controls (sensor-related ones included) of
the touch control panel while keeping it connected to the
oven.
B. On some models, the power supply cord between the
touch control panel and the oven proper is long enough
that they may be separated from each other. For those
models, it is possible to check and repair the controls of
the touch control panel while keeping it apart from the
oven proper; in this case you must short both ends of the
door sensing switch (on PWB) of the touch control panel
with a jumper, which activates an operational state that
is equivalent to the oven door being closed. As for the
sensor-related controls of the touch control panel,
checking them is possible if dummy resistor(s) with
resistance equal to that of the controls are used.
(2)Servicing the touch control panel with power supply
from an external power source:
Disconnect the touch control panel completely from the
oven proper, and short both ends of the door sensing
switch (on PWB) of the touch control panel, which
activates an operational state that is equivalent to the
oven door being closed. Connect an external power
source to the power input terminal of the touch control
panel, then it is possible to check and repair the controls
of the touch control panel it is also possible to check the
sensor-related controls of the touch control panel by
using the dummy resistor(s).
4. Servicing Tools
Tools required to service the touch control panel
assembly.
1) Soldering iron: 30W
(It is recommended to use a soldering iron with a
grounding terminal.)
2) Oscilloscope: Single beam, frequency range: DC10MHz type or more advanced model.
3) Others: Hand tools
5. Other Precautions
1) Before turning on the power source of the control unit,
remove the aluminium foil applied for preventing
static electricity.
2) Connect the connectors of the key unit to the control
unit being sure that the lead wires are not twisted.
3) After aluminium foil is removed, be careful that
abnormal voltage due to static electricity etc. is not
applied to the input or output terminals.
4) Attach connectors, electrolytic capacitors, etc. to
PWB, making sure that all connections are tight.
5) Be sure to use specified components where high
precision is required.

Note: The door on a microwave oven is designed to
act as an electronic seal preventing the leakage
of microwave energy from oven cavity during
cook cycle. This function does not require that
door be air-tight, moisture (condensation)-tight
or light-tight. Therefore, occasional appearance
of moisture, light or sensing of gentle warm air
movement around oven door is not abnormal
and do not of themselves indicate a leakage of
microwave energy from oven cavity.
