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.

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.

GENERAL INFORMATION
GROUNDING INSTRUCTIONS
This oven is equipped with a three prong grounding plug. It must be plugged into a wall receptacle that is properly installed
and grounded in accordance with the National Electrical Code and local codes and ordinances.
In the event of an electrical short circuit, grounding reduces the risk of electric shock by providing an escape wire for the
electric current.
WARNING: Improper use of the grounding plug can result in a risk of electric shock.
Electrical Requirements
The electrical requirements are a 120 volt 60 Hz, AC only,
15 or 20 amp. fused electrical supply. It is recommended that a separate circuit serving only this appliance be provided. When
installing this appliance, observe all applicable codes and ordinances.
A short power-supply cord is provided to reduce risks of becoming entangled in or tripping over a longer cord.

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 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 "SHARP SIMPLY THE BEST
PRESS CLEAR AND PRESS CLOCK".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)
RELAYCONNECTED COMPONENTS
RY-1oven lamp/turntable motor/fan motor
RY-2power transformer
2. 120 volts A.C. is supplied to the primary winding of the
power transformer and is converted to about 3.1 volts
A.C. output on the filament winding, and approximately
2370 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, the
monitor switch, door sensing switch, secondary interlock
switch, relay (RY1) and primary interlock relay 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 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-MODEON TIMEOFF TIME
P-HI (100% power)32 sec.0 sec.
P-90 (approx. 90% power)30 sec.2 sec.
P-80 (approx. 80% power)26 sec.6 sec.
P-70 (approx. 70% power)24 sec.8 sec.
P-60 (approx. 60% power)22 sec.10 sec.
P-50 (approx. 50% power)18 sec.14 sec.
P-40 (approx. 40% power)16 sec.16 sec.
P-30 (approx. 30% power)12 sec.20 sec.
P-20 (approx. 20% power) 8 sec.24 sec.
P-10 (approx. 10% power) 6 sec.26 sec.
P-0 (approx. 0% power) 0 sec.32 sec.
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.
SENSOR COOKING CONDITION
Using the SENSOR function, the food is cooked without
figuring time, power level or quantity. When the oven senses
enough steam from the food, it relays the information to its
microprocessor which will calculate the remaining cooking
time and power level needed for best results. When the food
is cooked, water vapor is developed. The sensor “senses”
the vapor and its resistance increases gradually. When the
resistance reaches the value set according to the menu,
supplementary cooking is started. The time of supplementary cooking is determined by experiment with each food
category and inputted into the LSI.
An example of how sensor works: (POTATOES)

1. Potates at room temperature. Vapor is emitted very
slowly.

Cooking Sequence.
1. Touch one of the SENSOR pads.
NOTE: The oven should not be operated on SENSOR
immediately after plugging in the unit. Wait two
minutes before cooking on SENSOR.
2. The coil of shut-off relay (RY-1) is energized, the turntable
motor, oven lamp and cooling fan motor are turned on,
but the power transformer is not turned on.
3. After about 16 seconds, the cook relay (RY-2) is
energized. The power transformer is turned on,
microwave energy is produced and first stage is started.
The 16 seconds is the cooling time required to remove
any vapor from the oven cavity and sensor.
NOTE: During this first stage, do not open the door or touch
STOP/CLEAR pad.
4. When the sensor detects the vapor emitted from the
food, the display switches over to the remaining cooking
time and the timer counts down to zero.
At this time, the door may be opened to stir, turn, or
season food.
5. When the timer reaches zero, an audible signal sounds.
The shut-off relay and cook relay are de-energized and
the power transformer, oven lamp, etc. are turned off.
6. Opening the door or touching the STOP/CLEAR pad, the
time of day will reappear on the display and the oven will
revert to an OFF condition.

DOOR OPEN MECHANISM
The door is opened by pulling the door. Refer to the Figure
D-1.
Door
Latch
Heads
Latch Hook
Door Sensing
Switch
Monitor Switch
Secondary
Interlock Switch
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 food
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
293˚F(145˚C) causing the oven to shut down.

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 the 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 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.

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:
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 power P-HI (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 34.3
to 63.6˚F(19.1 to 35.4˚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.
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 74.2 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.

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.

R-320DW
The touch control section consists of the following units.
(1)Key Unit
(2)Control Unit (The Control Unit consists of Power Unit
and LSI Unit).
The principal functions of these units and the signals communicated among them are explained below.
Key Unit
The key unit is composed of a matrix, signals generated in
the LSI are sent to the key unit through P110-P117.
When a key pad is touched, a signal is completed through
the key unit and passed back to the LSI through P100, P101,
P102, P103, ANI6 and ANI7 to perform the function that was
requested.
Control Unit
Control unit consists of LSI, ACL circuit, indicator circuit,
power source circuit, relay circuit, buzzer circuit, synchronizing signal circuit, absolute humidity sensor circuit and
back light circuit.
1) ACL
This circuit generates a signal which resets the LSI to the
initial state when power is supplied.
4) Relay Circuit
A circuit to drive the magnetron, fan motor, turntable
motor and light the oven lamp.
5) Buzzer Circuit
The buzzer is responsive to signals from the LSI to emit
audible sounds (key touch sound and completion sound).
6) Synchronizing Signal Circuit
The power source synchronizing signal is available in

The absolute humidity sensor includes two thermistors
as shown in the illustration. One thermistor is housed in
the closed vessel filled with dry air while another in the
open vessel. Each sensor is provided with the protective
cover made of metal mesh to be protected from the
external airflow.

(2)Operational Principle of Absolute Humidity Sensor
The figure below shows the basic structure of an absolute
humidity sensor. A bridge circuit is formed by two
thermistors and two resistors (R1 and R2).
The output of the bridge circuit is to be amplified by the
operational amplifier.
Each thermistor is supplied with a current to keep it
heated at about 150˚C (302˚F), the resultant heat is
dissipated in the air and if the two thermistors are placed
in different humidity conditions they show different
degrees of heat conductivity leading to a potential
difference between them causing an output voltage from
the bridge circuit, the intensity of which is increased as
the absolute humidity of the air increases. Since the
output is very minute, it is amplified by the operational
amplifier.

food is heated to generate moisture by which the
resistance balance of the bridge circuit is deviated to
increase the voltage available at ANI5 terminal of the
LSI.
Then the LSI observes that voltage at ANI5 terminal and
compares it with its initial value, and when the comparison
rate reaches the preset value (fixed for each menu to be
cooked), the LSI causes the unit to stop sensor cooking;
thereafter, the unit goes in the next operation
automatically.
When the LSI starts to detect the initial voltage at ANI5
terminal 16 seconds after the unit has been put in the
Sensor Cooking mode, if it is not possible to balance the
bridge circuit due to disconnection of the absolute humidity
sensor, ERROR will appear on the display and the
cooking is stopped.

(3)Detector Circuit of Absolute Humidity Sensor Circuit
This detector circuit is used to detect the output voltage
of the absolute humidity circuit to allow the LSI to control
sensor cooking of the unit. When the unit is set in the
sensor cooking mode, 16 seconds clearing cycle occurs
than the detector circuit starts to function and the LSI
observes the initial voltage available at its ANI5 terminal.
With this voltage given, the switches SW1 to SW5 in the
LSI are turned on in such a way as to change the
resistance values in parallel with R98 ~ R102. Changing
the resistance values results in that there is the same
potential at both F-3 terminal of the absolute humidity
sensor and ANI4 terminal of the LSI. The voltage of ANI5
terminal will indicate about -2.5V. This initial balancing is
set up about 16 seconds after the unit is put in the Sensor
Cooking mode. As the sensor cooking proceeds, the

TOUCH CONTROL PANEL 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.
approx. 1M ohm
2. 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).
3. 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: DC-10MHz
type or more advanced model.
3) Others: Hand tools
4. 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.

4. Loosen the two (2) screws holding latch hook to the oven
cavity front flange.
5. With door closed, adjust latch hook by moving it back and
forth, and up and down. In and out play of the door
allowed by the upper and lower position of the latch hook
should be less than 0.5mm. The vertical position of the
latch hook should be adjusted so that the door sensing
switch and secondary interlock switch are activated with
the door closed. The horizontal position of the latch hook
should be adjusted so that the plunger of the monitor
switch is pressed with the door closed.
6. Secure the screws with washers firmly.
7. Check the operation of all switches. If each switch has
not activated with the door closed, loosen screw and
adjust the latch hook position.
After adjustment, check the following.
1. In and out play of door remains less than 0.5mm when in
the latched position. First check upper position of latch
hook, pushing and pulling upper portion of door toward
the oven face. Then check lower portion of the latch
hook, pushing and pulling lower portion of the door
toward the oven face. Both results (play in the door)
should be less than 0.5mm.
2. The contacts of door sensing switch and secondary
interlock switch open within 0.9mm gap between right
side of cavity face plate and door when door is open.
3. Monitor switch contacts close when door is opened.
4. Re-install outer case and check for microwave leakage
around door with an approved microwave survey meter.

Note: After any service to the door;
(A) Make sure that door sensing switch and secondary
interlock switch are operating properly. (Refer to
chapter “Test Procedures”.).
(B) An approved microwave survey meter should be
used to assure compliance with proper microwave
radiation emission limitation standards.
After any service, make sure of the following :
1. Door latch heads smoothly catch latch hook through
latch holes and that latch head goes through center of
latch hole.
2. Deviation of door alignment from horizontal line of cavity
face plate is to be less than 1.0mm.
3. Door is positioned with its face pressed toward cavity
face plate.
4. Check for microwave leakage around door with an
approved microwave survey meter. (Refer to Microwave
Measurement Procedure.)
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 airtight, 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.
