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 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 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.

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.
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 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 door sensing switch and secondary 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 pad. The display will clear, and " : "
will appear.
COOKING CONDITION
Program desired cooking time by touching the NUMBER
pads. Program the power level by touching the POWER
LEVEL pad and then a Number pad.
When the START pad 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)
RELAY CONNECTED COMPONENTS
RY-1 oven lamp/turntable motor/fan motor
RY-2 power transformer
2. 120 volts A.C. is supplied to the primary winding of the
power transformer and is converted to about 3.2 volts
A.C. output on the filament winding, and approximately
2150 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, secondary interlock switch,
relay (RY1) and primary interlock relay (RY2) are activated
with the following results. The circuits to the turntable
motor, the cooling fan 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 electrically monitors the operation of
the secondary interlock switch and primary 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 the closed position, the
primary interlock relay (RY2) and secondary 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 open first. Then the contacts of
the secondary interlock switch and door sensing switch
close. And contacts of the relay (RY1) open.
If the secondary interlock switch and primary interlock relay
(RY2) fail with the contacts closed when the door is opened,
the closing of the monitor switch contacts will form a short
circuit through the monitor fuse, secondary interlock switch,
relay (RY1) and primary 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 (RY-2) which is operated by the
control unit within a 32 second time base. Microwave power
operation is as follows:
VARI-MODE ON TIME OFF TIME
Power 10(P-HI) 32 sec. 0 sec.
(100% power)
Power 9(P-90) 30 sec. 2 sec.
(approx. 90% power)
Power 8(P-80) 26 sec. 6 sec.
(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.
(approx. 40% power)
Power 3(P-30) 12 sec. 20 sec.
(approx. 30% power)
Power 2(P-20) 8 sec. 24 sec.
(approx. 20% power)
Power 1(P-10) 6 sec. 26 sec.
(approx. 10% power)
Power 0(P-0) 0 sec. 32 sec.
(0% power)
Note: The ON/OFF time ratio does not correspond with
the percentage of microwave power, because
approx. 2 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 switch lever, and then the switch 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 SECONDARY INTERLOCK
SWITCHES
The secondary interlock switch is mounted in the lower
position of the latch hook and the door sensing switch in the
primary 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
power to all high voltage components. A cook cycle cannot
take place until the door is firmly closed thereby activating
both interlock switches. The primary interlock system consists of the door sensing switch and primary 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 primary
interlock relay (RY2) and secondary 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 primary interlock relay (RY2) and
secondary interlock switch are in the OFF condition
(contacts open) due to their being normally open contact
switches.
2. As the door goes to a closed position, the monitor switch
contacts are first opened and then the door sensing
switch and the secondary interlock switch contacts close.
(On opening the door, each of these switches operate
inversely.)
3. If the door is opened, and the primary interlock relay
(RY2) and secondary 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,
PRIMARY INTERLOCK RELAY (RY2), RELAY
(RY1), SECONDARY INTERLOCK SWITCH
AND MONITOR SWITCH FOR PROPER OPERATION. (REFER TO CHAPTER "TEST PROCEDURE").
NOTE: MONITOR FUSE AND MONITOR SWITCH ARE
REPLACED AS AN ASSEMBLY.
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. The turntable may turn in either
direction.
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
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.
MONITOR FUSE
1. The monitor fuse blows when the contacts (COM-NO) of
the primary interlock relay (RY2) and secondary interlock
switch remain closed with the oven door open and when
the monitor switch closes.
2. If the wire harness or electrical components are shortcircuited, this monitor fuse blows to prevent an electric
shock or fire hazard.
OVEN THERMAL CUT-OUT
The thermal cut-out, located on the top of the oven cavity, is
designed to prevent damage to the oven by fire. If the foods
load is overcooked, by either error in cook time or defect in
the control unit, the thermal cut-out will open.
Under normal operation, the oven thermal cut-out remains
closed. However, when abnormally high temperatures are
reached within the oven cavity, the oven thermal cut-out will
open at 257˚F(125˚C), causing the oven to shut down.
MAGNETRON THERMAL CUT-OUT
The thermal cut-out located near the magnetron 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 thermal cut-out remains closed. However, when abnormally high temperatures are reached within
the magnetron, the thermal cut-out will open at 338˚F(170˚C)
causing the oven to shut down. When the magnetron has
cooled to safe operating temperature, the thermal cut-out
closes at 311˚F(155˚C) and the cook cycle will resume.

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)
primary interlock relay (RY2), door sensing switch and secondary interlock switch before replacing the
monitor fuse. If monitor fuse is replaced, the monitor switch must also be replaced. Use part FFSBA021WRK0 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 high voltage capacitor.
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 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.
