CONNECTED COMPONENTSRELAY
Oven lamp, Fan motor, Turntable motorRY1
Power transformerRY2
1. Rated voltage. is supplied to the primary winding of the
power transformer. 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 filament 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 generates 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.

2. If the wire harness or electrical components are shortcircuited, this fuse M8A blows to prevent an electric
shock or fire hazard.
THERMAL CUT-OUT TC 145˚C (MG)
This thermal cut-out protects the magnetron against overheating. If the temperature goes up higher than 145˚C
because the fan motor is interrupted, the ventilation openings are blocked, the thermal cut-out will open and the line
voltage to the power transformer will be cut off and the
operation of the magnetron will be stopped.
The defective thermal cut-out must be replaced with new
one.
THERMAL CUT-OUT TC 145˚C (OVEN)
The thermal cut-out located on the top of the oven cavity is
designed to prevent damage to the oven if the foods in the
oven catch fire due to over heating produced by improper
setting of cook time or failure of control unit. 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
145˚C, causing the oven to shut down. The defective
thermal cut-out must be replace with new one.
THERMAL CUT-OUT 95˚C (FAN MOTOR)
The thermal cut-out protect the fan motor against overheating. If its temperature goes up higher than 95˚C because the
fan motor is locked or the ventilation operating are blocked,
the contacts of the thermal cut-out will open and switch off
the oven. When the oven cools itself down to 75˚C, the
contacts of the thermal cut-out will close again.
TURNTABLE MOTOR
The turntable motor drives the turntable roller assembly to
rotate the turntable.
FAN MOTOR
The 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 vapours given off from the heating foods. It is then exhausted
through the exhausting air vents at the oven cavity

SERVICING
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.
REMEMBER TO CHECK 3D
1) Disconnect the supply.
2) Door opened, and wedged open.
3) Discharge 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 high-voltage 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 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 carried out
TROUBLESHOOTING GUIDE
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 M8A in the 1st. latch switch
- 2nd. interlock relay - monitor switch monitor resistor circuit, check the 1st. latch
switch, 2nd. interlock relay, 2nd. interlock
relay control switch, monitor switch and
monitor resistor before replacing the fuse

NEVER TOUCH ANY PART IN THE CIRCUIT WITH YOUR HAND OR AN INSULATED TOOL
WHILE THE OVEN IS IN OPERATION.
CARRY OUT 3D CHECK.
Isolate the magnetron from high voltage circuit by removing all leads connected to filament terminal.
To test for an open circuit filament use an ohmmeter to make a continuity test between the magnetron
filament terminals, the meter should show a reading of less than 1 ohm.
To test for short filament to anode condition, connect ohmmeter between one of the filament terminals
and the case of the magnetron (ground). This test should be indicated an infinite resistance. If a low or
zero resistance reading is obtained then the magnetron should be replaced.
MICROWAVE OUTPUT POWER (IEC 705)
The following test procedure should be carried out with the microwave oven in a fully assembled
condition (outer case fitted). Microwave output power from the magnetron can be measured by way of
IEC 705, i.e. it can be measured by using water load how much it can be absorbed by the water load.
To measure the microwave output power in the microwave oven, the relation of calorie and watt is used.
When P(W) heating works for t(second), approximately P x t/4.187 calorie is generated. On the other
hand, if the temperature of the water with V(ml) rises ∆T (°C) during this microwave heating period, the
calorie of the water is V x ∆T.
The formula is as follows;
P x t / 4.187 = V x ∆ TP (W) = 4.187 x V x ∆T / t
Our condition for water load is as follows:
Room temperature..............around 20°CPower supply Voltage.........Rated voltage
Water load.........1000 g Initial temperature...........10±2°C Heating time.........49 sec.
P = 85 x ∆T
Measuring condition:
1. Container
The water container must be a cylindrical borosilicate glass vessel having a maximum material
thickness of 3 mm and an outside diameter of approximately 190 mm.
2. Temperature of the oven and vessel
The oven and the empty vessel are at ambient temperature prior to the start the test.
3. Temperature of the water
The initial temperature of the water is (10±2)°C.
4. Select the initial and final water temperature so that the maximum difference between the final water
temperature and the ambient temperature is 5˚C.
5. Select stirring devices and measuring instruments in order to minimize addition or removal of heat.
6. The graduation of the thermometer must be scaled by 0.1°C at minimum and accurate thermometer.
7. The water load must be (1000±5) g.
8. “t” is measured while the microwave generator is operating at full power. Magnetron filament heatup time is not included.
NOTE:The operation time of the microwave oven is “t + 2” sec. 2 sec. is magnetron filament heat-up time.
Measuring method:
1. Measure the initial temperature of the water before the water is added to the vessel.
(Example: The initial temperature T1 = 11°C)
2. Add the 1 litre water to the vessel.
3. Place the load on the centre of the shelf.
4. Operate the microwave oven at HIGH for the temperature of the water rises by a value ∆ T of
(10 ± 2)˚C.
5. Stir the water to equalize temperature throughout the vessel.

circuits, including the magnetron filament.
CARRY OUT 3D CHECKS.
Disconnect the leads to the primary winding of the power transformer. Disconnect the filament and
secondary winding connections from the rest of the HV circuitry. Using an ohmmeter, set on a low range,
it is possible to check the continuity of all three windings. The following readings should be obtained:
a. Primary winding ....................approx. 1.4 Ω
b. Secondary winding ...............approx. 98 Ω
c. Filament winding...................less than 1Ω

TOUCH CONTROL PANEL ASSEMBLY
OUTLINE OF TOUCH CONTROL PANEL
The touch control section consists of the following units
as shown in the touch control panel circuit.
(1) Key Unit
(2) Control 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 R10, R11, R12, R13,
R20, R21 and R22.
When a key pad is touched, a signal is completed through
the key unit and passed back to the LSI through R00, R01,
R02 and R03 to perform the function that was requested.
Control Unit
Control unit consists of LSI, power source circuit, synchronizing signal circuit, ACL circuit, buzzer circuit and indicator
circuit.
1) LSI
This LSI controls the key strobe signal, relay driving signal
for oven function and indicator signal.
7) Relay Circuit
To drive the magnetron, fan motor, turntable motor and
light the oven lamp.
8) Indicator Circuit
Indicator element is a Fluorescent Display.
Basically, a Fluorescent Display is triode having a cathode,
a grid and an anode. Usually, the cathode of a Fluorescent
Display is directly heated and the filament serves as
cathode.
The Fluorescent Display has 7-digits, 15-segments are
used for displaying figures.
2) Power Source Circuit
This circuit generates voltages necessary in the control
unit.
The power source synchronizing signal is available in order
to compose a basic standard time in the clock circuit. It
accompanies a very small error because it works on commercial frequency.
4) ACL Circuit
A circuit to generate a signals which resets the LSI to the
initial state when power is supplied.
5) Buzzer Circuit
The buzzer is responsive to signals from the LSI to emit
audible sounds (key touch sound and completion sound).
6) Door Sensing Switch
A switch to “tell” the LSI if the door is open or closed.

SERVICING
R-3A88
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 supply 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
PRESENTS A HAZARD.
Therefore, when checking the performance of the touch
control panel, put the outer cabinet on the oven to avoid
touching the high voltage transformer, or unplug the primary
terminal (connector) of the high voltage transformer to turn
it off; and the end of such connector must be insulated with
an insulating tape. After servicing, be sure to replace the
leads to their original locations.
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,
therefore, 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 brings about an operational state that is
equivalent to the oven door being closed. As for the sensorrelated controls of the touch control panel, checking them
is possible if dummy resistor(s) with resistance is 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 brings
about 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: DC-10MHz
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) After aluminium foil is removed, be careful that abnormal
voltage due to static electricity etc. is not applied to the input
or output terminals.
3) Attach connectors, electrolytic capacitors, etc. to PWB,
making sure that all connections are tight.
4) Be sure to use specified components where high precision
is required.

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.

MICROWAVE MEASUREMENT
After adjustment of door latch switches, monitor switch
and door are completed individually or collectively, the
following leakage test must be performed with a survey
instrument and it must be confirmed that the result meets
the requirements of the performance standard for microwave oven.
REQUIREMENT
The safety switch must prevent microwave radiation emission in excess of 5mW/cm2 at any point 5cm or more from
external surface of the oven.
PREPARATION FOR TESTING:
Before beginning the actual test for leakage, proceed as
follows;
1. Make sure that the test instrument is operating normally
as specified in its instruction booklet.
Important:
Survey instruments that comply with the requirement for
instrumentations as prescribed by the performance
standard for microwave ovens must be used for testing.
3. Place the load of 275 ± 15ml of water initially at 20 ±
5˚C in the centre of the oven tray. The water container
should be a low form of 600 ml beaker with inside
diameter of approx. 8.5cm and made of an electrically
non-conductive 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. Close the door and turn the oven ON with the timer set
for several minutes. If the water begins to boil before the
survey is completed, replace it with 275ml of cool water.
5. Move the probe slowly (not faster that 2.5cm/sec.)
along the gap.
6. The microwave radiation emission should be measured
at any point of 5cm or more from the external surface of
the oven.
