Before Servicing
1. Disconnect the power supply cord , and then remove
outer case.
2. Open the door and block it open.
3. Discharge two high voltage capacitors.
WARNING: RISK OF ELECTRIC SHOCK.
DISCHARGE THE TWO HIGH
VOLTAGE CAPACITORS BEFORE
SERVICING.
The high-voltage capacitors remain charged about 60 seconds after the oven has been switched off. Wait for 60
seconds and then short-circuit the connection of the highvoltage capacitors (that are the connecting lead of the highvoltage rectifiers) 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 two high voltage capacitors.
4. Disconnect the leads to the primary of the power transformer.
5. Ensure that the 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 two high voltage capacitors.
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 re-examine 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.

MICROWAVE 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 relay and door sensing switch shall prevent microwave radiation emission in excess
of the requirement as above mentioned, secondary interlock 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.
2
4) Measure carefully at the point of highest leakage and make sure that the highest leakage is no greater than 4mW/cm
, and that
the secondary 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
The following is a description of component functions during
oven operation.
OFF CONDITION
Closing the door activates the door sensing switch and secondary interlock switches (1), (2). (In this condition, the monitor
switches (1) & (2) contacts are opened.) When the oven is
plugged in, and the rated voltage is supplied to the control unit
through the noise filter, (figure O-1), the display will show " .
".
IDLE CONDITION
When the door is opened, the contacts of the door sensing
switch open, initiating the following:
1. A signal is input to the control unit energizing the coil of shutoff relay (RY-1).
2. The shut-off relay (RY-1) contacts close completing circuits
to turn on the oven lamp, blower motor and stirrer motors.
3. If the door remains open, 60 seconds later the control unit
de-energizes shut-off relay (RY-1) turning off the oven
lamp, blower motor and stirrer motors.
When the door is closed, the door sensing switch contacts
close. With the closing of the door sensing switch contacts, an
additional circuit is provided which will permit the operation of
the oven when one of the touch pads is depressed. Since the
control is enabled through the door sensing switch, the door
must be closed before the touch pads will be effective. When
the door is closed, a full 60 second IDLE condition is always
provided for selecting and pressing the desired touch pads. A
60 second IDLE condition will also follow the end of each cook
cycle.
COOKING CONDITION
When the door is closed from the open position and Memory
pad is touched the, following will occur:
1. The contacts of relays are closed and components connected
to the relays are turned on (For details, refer to Figure O-3)
2. Rated voltage is supplied to the primary winding of the
power transformer and is converted to about 3.15 volts
output on the filament winding, and approximately 2305
volts 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 feed-box,
and then into the cavity where the food is placed to be
cooked.
5. Upon completion of the cooking time, the oven will revert to
the IDLE condition.
6. When the door is opened during a cook cycle, monitor
switches (1) & (2), door sensing switch, secondary interlock
switches (1), (2) and primary interlock relays (1), (2) are
activated with the following results. The circuits to the high
voltage components are de-energized, and the digital readout displays " . " and cooking is cancelled (in the case of
Memory cooking).
7. The monitor switch (1) is electrically monitoring the operation
of the secondary interlock switch (1) and primary interlock
relay (1), and monitor switch (2) is electrically monitoring the
operation of the secondary interlock switch (2) and primary
interlock relay (2), and monitor switches (1), (2) are
mechanically associated with the door so that it will function
in the following sequence.
(1) When the door opens from a closed position, the contacts
of the primary interlock relays (1), (2) and secondary
interlock switches (1), (2) open. Then the monitor switch
contacts close.
(2) When the door is closed from the open position, the monitor
switches (1), (2) contacts first open, and then the contacts
of the secondary interlock switches (1), (2) close.
If the secondary interlock switches (1), (2) and primary interlock
relays (1), (2) fail with their contacts closed when the door is
opened, the closing of the monitor switches (1), (2) contacts will
form a short circuit through the monitor fuse, secondary interlock switches (1), (2) and primary interlock relays (1), (2),
causing the monitor fuse to blow.
VARIABLE POWER COOKING
When Variable Cooking Power is programmed, the rated
voltage A.C. is supplied to the power transformer intermittently
through the contacts of relay (RY-2, RY-3). Relays RY-2 and
RY-3 are operated by the control unit within an interval second
time base. Microwave power operation is as follows:
POWER LEVEL ON TIME OFF TIME
100% 32 sec. 0 sec.
90% 30 sec. 2 sec.
80 % 26 sec. 6 sec.
70% 24 sec. 8 sec.
60% 22 sec. 10 sec.
50% 18 sec. 14 sec.
40% 16 sec. 16 sec.
30% 12 sec. 20 sec.
20% 8 sec. 24 sec.
10% 6 sec. 26 sec.
0% 0 sec. 32 sec.
Note: The ON/OFF time ratio does not exactly correspond
with the percentage of microwave power, because
approx. 2 seconds are needed for heating of the
magnetron filament.
6
R-25JT-F
TWO MAGNETRON OPERATION SYSTEM
Two magnetrons (1), (2) are equipped in order to get higher
microwave power output. The primary windings of the power
transformers (1), (2) are connected so that each magnetron
can be oscillated alternatively according to the frequency of the
power supply. Refer to the Figure B-1.

The monitor switches (1), (2) are mounted in the upper position
of the latch hook. The monitor switches are activated by the
upper latch head of the door and switch lever A. When the door
is opened, the contacts of the monitor switches close. Monitor
switch (1) is intended to render the oven inoperative by means
of blowing the monitor fuse, when the contacts of the primary
interlock relay (1) and secondary interlock switch (1) fail to open
when the door is opened. Monitor switch (2) is intended to
render the oven inoperative by means of blowing the monitor
fuse, when the contacts of the primary interlock relay (2) and
secondary interlock switch (2) fail to open when the door is
opened.
Functions:
With the door shut, the contacts of the door sensing switch and
the secondary interlock switches (1), (2) are closed and the
contacts of the monitor switches (1), (2) are open.
1. When the door is opened, the contact of the door sensing
switch and secondary interlock switches (1), (2) are opened
first, then the contact of the monitor switches (1), (2) are
closed.
2. As the door goes to a closed position, the contacts of the
monitor switches (1), (2) are opened first, then the contacts
of the door sensing switch and the secondary interlock
switches (1), (2) close.
3. If the door is opened, and the contacts of the primary
interlock relay and secondary interlock switch of the same
circuit fail to open, the monitor fuse blows simultaneously
with closing of the monitor switch contacts of that circuit (1
or 2).
CAUTION: BEFORE REPLACING A BLOWN MONITOR
FUSE TEST THE DOOR SENSING SWITCH,
PRIMARY INTERLOCK RELAYS (1), (2), SECONDARY INTERLOCK SWITCHES (1), (2) AND
MONITOR SWITCHES (1), (2) FOR PROPER
OPERATION. (REFER TO CHAPTER "TEST
PROCEDURE").
NOTE: MONITOR FUSE AND SWITCH ARE REPLACED
AS AN ASSEMBLY.
MAGNETRON TEMPERATURE FUSES (1), (2)
The temperature fuses (1), (2) located on the top of the upper
and lower waveguide, are designed to prevent damage to the
magnetrons (1), (2). If an over heated condition develops in the
tube due to blower motor failure, obstructed air ducts, dirty or
blocked air intake, etc., the circuit to the magnetrons are
interrupted. Under normal operation, the temperature fuses
remains closed. However, when abnormally high temperatures
are generated within the magnetron, the temperature fuse will
open at 302˚F (150˚C) causing the microwave energy to stop.
The defective temperature fuse must be replaced with new
rated one.
OVEN TEMPERATURE FUSE
The temperature fuse, located on the side of the exhaust duct
assembly, is designed to prevent damage to the oven by fire.
If the food load is overcooked, by either error in cook time or
defect in the control unit, the temperature fuse will open. Under
normal operation, the oven temperature fuse remains closed.
However, when abnormally high temperatures are generated
within the oven cavity, the oven temperature fuse will open at
248˚F (120˚C), causing the oven to shut down. The defective
temperature fuse must be replaced with new rated one.
OVEN THERMISTOR (1)
The thermistor is a negative temperature coefficient type. The
temperature in the exhaust duct is detected through the resistance of the thermistor.
If the temperature is high, the control panel will display “EE7”
and the oven will stop to avoid overheating and catching fire.
If the thermistor is open, the control panel will display "EE6" and
the oven will stop.

R-25JT-F
OVEN THERMISTOR (2)
This thermistor detects temperature of the oven cavity bottom
plate. The thermistor is a negative temperature coefficient type.
The temperature is detected through the resistance of the
thermistor.
If the temperature is high, the control will display “EE17” and the
oven will stop.
MAGNETRON THERMISTOR
The thermistor is a negative temperature coefficient type. The
air temperature around the upper magnetron is detected through
the resistance of the thermistor.
If the temperature is high, the control panel will display "EE17"
and the oven will stop to protect the lower magnetron against
overheat.
If the oven thermistor (2) and the magnetron thermistor are
open at the same time, the control panel will display "EE16" and
the oven will stop.
BLOWER MOTOR
The blower motor drives a blade which draws external cool air
into the oven. This cool air is directed through the air vanes
surrounding the magnetrons and cools the magnetrons. This
air is channelled through the oven cavity to remove steam and
vapours given off from the heating foods. It is then exhausted
through the exhausting air vents at the oven cavity.

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 switches (1), (2), primary
interlock relays RY2, RY3, door sensing switch and secondary interlock switches (1), (2), before replacing the
monitor fuse. If monitor fuse is replaced, the monitor switch (1) and/or (2) must also be replaced. Use part FFSBA033WRKZ 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.
3. Discharge two high voltage capacitors.
4. Disconnect the leads to the primaries of the two power transformers.
5. Ensure that the 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 two high voltage capacitors.
4. Reconnect the all leads removed from components during testing.
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.

PROCEDURE
LETTER
A MAGNETRON ASSEMBLY TEST
1. Disconnect the power supply cord, and then remove outer case.
2. Open the door and block it open.
3. Discharge two high voltage capacitors.
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:
COMPONENT TEST
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 100% POWER 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 55.4 to
103˚F(30.8 to 57.2˚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 208/230 volts and the oven cavity is clean.
B POWER TRANSFORMER TEST
1. Disconnect the power supply cord, and then remove outer case.
2. Open the door and block it open.
3. Discharge two high voltage capacitors.
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 57 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.
