Before Servicing
1. Disconnect the power supply cord |
, and then |
remove outer case. |
|
2.Open the door and block it open.
3.Discharge high voltage capacitor.
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 operated 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 a 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±5O C (68OF) 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.
Where a two-pronged wall-receptacle is encountered, it is the personal responsibility and obligation of the customer to contact
4
a qualified electrician and have it replaced with a properly grounded three-pronged wall receptacle or have a grounding adapter properly grounded and polarized. If the extension cord must be used, it should be a 3-wire, 15 amp. or higher rated cord. Do not drape over a countertop or table where it can be pulled on by children or tripped over accidentally.
CAUTION: DO NOT UNDER ANY CIRCUMSTANCES CUT OR REMOVE THE ROUND GROUNDING PRONG FROM THIS PLUG.

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 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.
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) |

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 3.3 volts |
||
|
A.C. output on the filament winding, and approximately |
||
|
2370 volts A.C. on the high voltage winding. |
||
3. |
Thefilamentwindingvoltageheatsthemagnetronfilament |
||
|
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 feed- |
||
|
box, 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:

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.

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 openingthedoor,eachoftheseswitchesoperateinversely.)
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
Thecoolingfanmotordrivesabladewhichdrawsexternalcool air. This cool air is directed through the air vanes surrounding themagnetronandcoolsthemagnetron.Thisairischannelled 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.
CAVITY TEMPERATURE FUSE
The cavity 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 cavity temperature fuse will open.
Under normal operation, the cavity temperature fuse remains closed. However, when abnormally high temperatures are reachedwithintheovencavity,thecavitytemperaturefusewill open at 302OF(150OC) causing the oven to shut down.
NOTE: This is fuse. It does not reset.
Magnetron TEMPERATURE FUSE
The magnetron temperature fuse located near the magnetron is designed to prevent damage to the magnetron if an over heatedconditiondevelopsinthetubeduetocoolingfanfailure, obstructed air guide, dirty or blocked air intake, etc.
Under normal operation, the magnetron temperature fuse remains closed. However, when abnormally high temperatures are reached within the magnetron, the magnetron temperature fuse will open at 302OF(150OC) causing the oven to shut down.
NOTE: This is fuse. It does not reset.

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 FFS-BA016/ KIT 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.
