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 channeled 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

MONITOR RESISTOR FOR PROPER OPERATION.
MONITOR RESISTOR R 0.8Ω 20W
The monitor resistor prevents the fuse M8A bursting when
the fuse M8A blows due to the operation of the monitor
switch.
ASYMMETRIC RECTIFIER
The asymmetric rectifier is a solid state device that prevents current flow in both directions. And it prevents the
temperature rise of the power transformer by blowing the
fuse M8A when the high voltage rectifier is shorted.
The rated peak reverse voltage of D1 of the asymmetric
rectifier is 6 KV The rated peak reverse voltage of D2 of the
asymmetric rectifier is 1.7 KV. D1 and D2 of the asymmetric rectifier or high voltage rectifier are shorted when the
each peak reverse voltage goes beyond the each rated
peak reverse voltage. (The process of blowing the fuse
M8A.)
1. The high voltage rectifier is shorted by any causes
when microwave cooking.
2. The peak reverse voltage of D2 of the rectifier goes
beyond the rated peak reverse voltage 1.7 KV in the
voltage doubler circuit.
3. D2 of the rectifier is shorted.
4. The large electric currents flow through the high voltage
winding of the power transformer.
5. The large electric currents beyond 8A flow through the
primary winding of the power transformer.
6. The fuse M8A blows by the large electric currents.
7. The power supply to all the electrical parts are cut off.
FUSE M8A
1. The fuse M8A blows when the contacts (COM-NO) of
the 1st. latch switch and 2nd. latch switch remain
closed with the oven door open and when the monitor
switch closes.
2. The fuse M8A also blows when asymmetric rectifier,
H.V. rectifier, H.V. wire harness, H.V.capacitor,
magnetron or secondary winding of power transformer
is shorted.
3. If the wire harness or electrical components are shortcircuited, this fuse M8A 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 125˚C, causing the oven to shut down. The
defective thermal cut-out must be replaced with new one.
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 95˚C causing the oven to shut down, when the
magnetron has cooled to 75˚C, the thermal cut-out closes
and cook cycle will resume.

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
channeled 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
NOISE FILTER
The noise filter prevents the radio frequency interference
that might flow back in the power circuit.

SERVICING
WARNING TO SERVICE PERSONNEL
Microwave ovens contain circuitry capable of producing very high voltage and current, contact with following parts
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 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 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. latch switch - monitor switch - monitor resistor circuit, check the 1st. latch
switch, 2nd. latch switch, monitor switch
and monitor resistor before replacing the
fuse M8A.

AMAGNETRON TEST
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 (1 Litre water load)
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.
COMPONENT TEST
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 gInitial temperature........ 10±2°CHeating time.......42 sec.
P = 100 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.
6. Measure the final water temperature. (Example: The final temperature T2 = 21°C)
7. Calculate the microwave power output P in watts from above formula.
Temperature after (42 + 2) = 44 sec................................................................. T2 = 21°C
Temperature difference Cold-Warm ............................................................... ∆T1 = 10°C
Measured output power
The equation is “P = 100 x ∆T”............................................ P = 100 x 10°C = 1000 Watts
JUDGMENT: The measured output power should be at least ± 15 % of the rated output power.
CAUTION: 1°C CORRESPONDS TO 100 WATTS REPEAT MEASUREMENT IF THE POWER IS
INSUFFICIENT.

WARNING: High voltages and large currents are present at the secondary winding and filament
winding of the power transformer. It is very dangerous to work near this part when
the oven is on. NEVER make any voltage measurements of the high-voltage
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. 1.3 Ω
b. Secondary winding............... approx. 87 Ω
c. Filament winding .................. less than 1Ω
If the reading obtained are not stated as above, then the power transformer is probably faulty and
should be replaced.

g) The figure of all digits flicker.
2-3 Other possible troubles caused by defective control unit.
a) Buzzer does not sound or continues to sound.
b) Clock does not operate properly.
c) Cooking is not possible.
COMPONENT TEST
LKEY UNIT TEST
If the display fails to clear when the STOP/CLEAR pad is depressed, first verify the flat ribbon is
making good contact, verify that the door sensing switch (stop switch) operates properly; that is the
contacts are closed when the door is closed and open when the door is open.
If the door sensing switch (stop switch) is good, disconnect the flat ribbon cable that connects the key
unit to the control unit and make sure the door sensing switch is closed (either close the door or short
the door sensing switch connector). Use the key unit matrix indicated on the control panel schematic
and place a jumper wire between the pins that correspond to the STOP/CLEAR pad making
momentary contact. If the control unit responds by clearing with a beep the key unit is faulty and must
be replaced. If the control unit does not respond, it is faulty and must be replaced.
If a specific pad does not respond, the above method may be used (after clearing the control unit) to
determine if the control unit or key pad is at fault.

SERVICING
11.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 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; 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 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
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
air-tight, moisture (condensation)-tight or lighttight. 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.
