CHAPTER 2. WARNING TO SERVICE PERSONNEL
Microwave ovens contain circuitry capable of producing very high voltage and current, contact with any part of the high voltage circuit will result in
electrocution. High voltage capacitor, Power transformer, Magnetron, High voltage rectifier assembly, High voltage harness and High voltage fuse.
REMEMBER TO CHECK 3D
1) Disconnect the supply.
2) Door opened, and wedged open.
3) Discharge the high voltage capacitor.
WARNING: AGAINST THE CHARGE OF THE HIGH-VOLTAGE
CAPACITOR
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, of the connecting lead of the
high-voltage rectifier) against the chassis with the use of
an insulated screwdriver.
Sharp recommend that wherever possible fault-finding is carried out
with the supply disconnected. It may, in some cases, be necessary to
connect the supply after the outer case has been removed, in this
event carry out 3D
checks and then disconnect the leads to the primary of the power transformer. Ensure that these leads remain isolated from other components and the oven chassis. (Use insulation
tape if necessary.) When the testing is completed, carry out 3D
checks
and reconnect the leads to the primary of the power transformer.
REMEMBER TO CHECK 4R
1) Reconnect all leads removed from components during testing.
2) Replace the outer case (cabinet).
3) Reconnect the supply.
4) Run the oven. 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 microwave timer for two (2)
minutes. Set the power level to HIGH and push the START button.
When the two minutes has elapsed (timer at zero) carefully check that
the water is now hot. If the water remains cold carry out 3D
checks 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.

CHAPTER 5. OPERATION SEQUENCE
[1] OFF CONDITION
Closing the door activates all door interlock switches (1st. latch switch
and 2nd. interlock relay control switch).
MPORTANT
When the oven door is closed, the monitor switch contacts (COM-NC)
must be open. When the microwave oven is plugged in a wall outlet,
rated voltage is supplied to the noise filter and the control unit.
Figure O-1 on page 12-1
1. The display shows flashing “88:88”.
2. To set any programmes or set the clock, you must first touch the
STOP/CLEAR pad.
3. “ : “ appears in the display.
NOTE: When the oven door is opened, the oven lamp comes on at
this time.
[2] MICROWAVE COOKING CONDITION
1. HIGH COOKING
Enter a desired cooking time with the touching NUMBER pad and start
the oven with touching START pad.
Function sequence
Figure O-2 on page 12-1
1. Rated voltage is supplied to the primary winding of the power trans-
former. The voltage is converted to about 3.3 volts A.C. output on
the filament winding and high voltage of approximately 2000 volts
A.C. on the secondary winding.
2. The filament winding voltage (3.3 volts) heats the magnetron fila-
ment and the high voltage (2000 volts) is sent to the voltage doubling circuit, where it is doubled to negative voltage of
approximately 4000 volts D.C.
3. The 2450 MHz microwave energy produced in the magnetron gen-
erates a wave length of 12.24 cm. This energy is channelled
through the waveguide (transport channel) into the oven cavity,
where the food is placed to be cooked.
4. When the cooking time is up, a signal tone is heard and the relays
(RY1+RY2) go back to their home position. The circuits to the oven
lamp, power transformer, fan motor and turntable motor are cut off.
5. When the door is opened during a cook cycle, the switches come to
the following condition
The circuits to the power transformer, fan motor and turntable motor
are cut off when the 1st. latch switch and 2nd. interlock relay control
switch are made open. The oven lamp remains on even if the oven
door is opened after the cooking cycle has been interrupted, because
the relay RY1 stays closed. Shown in the display is the remaining time.
6. MONITOR SWITCH CIRCUIT
The monitor switch is mechanically controlled by oven door, and
monitors the operation of the 1st. latch switch and 2nd. interlock
relay.
1) When the oven door is opened during or after the cycle of a
cooking program, the 1st. latch switch and 2nd. interlock relay
control switch must open their contacts first. After that the contacts (COM-NC) of the monitor switch can be closed.
2) When the oven door is closed, the contacts (COM-NC) of the
monitor switch must be opened. After that the contacts of the
1st. latch switch and 2nd. interlock relay control switch are
closed.
3) When the oven door is opened and the contacts of the 1st. latch
switch and 2nd. interlock relay remain closed. The fuse F10A
will blow, because the monitor switch is closed and a short circuit is caused.
2. MEDIUM HIGH, MEDIUM, MEDIUM LOW, LOW
COOKING
When the microwave oven is preset for variable cooking power, rated
voltage is supplied to the power transformer intermittently within a 32second time base through the relay contact which is coupled with the
current-limiting relay. The following levels of microwave power are
given.
SETTING;
NOTE: The ON/OFF time ratio does not exactly correspond to the
percentage of microwave power, because approx. 3 seconds
are needed for heating up the magnetron filament.
[3] POWER OUTPUT REDUCTION
After 100% power cooking mode is carried out for more than 40 minutes, the power out-put is automatically reduced to 70%.

CHAPTER 6. FUNCTION OF IMPORTANT COMPONENTS
[1] 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
[2] 1ST. LATCH SWITCH AND 2ND. INTERLOCK RELAY CONTROL SWITCH
1. When the oven door is closed, the contacts (COM-NO) must be
closed.
2. When the oven door is opened, the contacts (COM-NO) must be
opened.
[3] MONITOR SWITCH
1. When the oven door is closed, the contacts (COM-NC) must be
opened.
2. When the oven door is opened, the contacts (COM-NC) must be
closed.
3. If the oven door is opened and the contacts (COM-NO) of the 1st.
latch switch and 2nd. interlock relay fail to pen, the fuse F10A
blows simultaneously with closing the contacts (COM-NC) of the
monitor switch.
CAUTION: BEFORE REPLACING A BLOWN FUSE F10A TEST THE
1ST. LATCH SWITCH, 2ND.INTERLOCK RELAY, MONITOR SWITCHAND MONITOR RESISTOR FOR PROPEROPERATION.
[4] FUSE F10A
1. The fuse F10A blows when the contacts (COM-NO) oft he 1st. latch
switch and 2nd. interlock relay remain closed with the oven door
open and when the monitor witch closes.
2. If the wire harness or electrical components are short-circuited, this
fuse F10A blows to prevent an electric shock or fire hazard.
[5] HIGH VOLTAGE FUSE
The high voltage fuse blows when the high voltage rectifier or the magnetron is shorted.
[6] OVEN TEMPERATURE FUSE
The temperature fuse, 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
temperature fuse will open.Under normal operation, the temperature
fuse remains closed. However, when abnormally high temperatures
are reached within the oven cavity, the temperature fuse will open at
150°C, causing the oven to shut down.
[7] TURNTABLE MOTOR
The turntable motor drives the turntable roller assembly to rotate the
turntable.
[8] FAN MOTOR
The fan motor drives a blade which draws external cool air.This cool
air is directed through the air vents surrounding the magnetron and
cools the magnetron. 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.
[9] NOISE FILTER
The noise filter prevents the radio frequency interference that might
flow back in the power circuit.

CHAPTER 7. TROUBLESHOOTING GUIDE
[1] FOREWORD
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 fuse F10A in the
1st. latch switch - 2nd. interlock relay - monitor switch circuit, check the
1st. latch switch, 2nd.interlock relay and monitor switch before replacing the fuse F10A.
