DESCRIPTION AND FUNCTION OF COMPONENTS
R-SlOBK
R-51OBW
Cooling Fan Motor
The cooling fan motor drives a blade which draws exter-
nal cool air. This cool air is directed through the air
vanes surrounding the magnetron to cool 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 exhaust vents in the
oven cavity.
Oven Temperature Fuse
The oven temperature fuse located on the top of the
oven cavity is designed to prevent damage to the unit if
the foods in the oven catch fire due to over heating produced by improper setting of cook time or failure of con-
trol unit.
Under normal operation, the oven temperature fuse re-
mains closed. However, when abnormally high temperatures are reached within the oven cavity, the fuse will
open at 152%, causing the oven to shut down.
Note: This is a fuse and it does not reset.
Magnetron Temperature Fuse
The magnetron temperature fuse located on top of the
magnetron duct is designed to prevent damage to the
magnetron if an over heated condition develops in the
tube due to cooling fan failure, obstructed air ducts, 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
fuse will open at 121 “C, causing the oven to shut down.
Note: This is a fuse and it does not reset.
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 and secondary interlock
switch fail to open when the door is opened.
Monitor Switch Functions
1.
When the door is opened, the monitor switch contacts close (to the ON condition) due to their being
normally closed. At this time the primary interlock
relay and secondary interlock switch are in the OFF
condition (contacts open) due to their being normally
open contacts.
When the door is closed, the monitor switch contacts
2.
are first opened and then the door sensing switch
and the secondary interlock switch contacts close.
Note: When opening the door, each of these
switches operate inversely.
If the door is opened and the primary interlock relay
3.
and secondary interlock switch contacts fail to open,
the monitor fuse blows simultaneously with closing
of the monitor switch contacts.
and secondary interlock switch for proper operatron.
(Refer to section ‘Test Procedures”.)
Door Open Mechanism
The door is opened by pushing the open button on the
control panel.
When the open button is pushed, the open button
pushes up the switch lever, and then the switch lever
pushes up the latch heads.
The latch heads are moved upward and released from
the latch hook. Now the door will open.
Door Sensing / 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 circuit to all components, except
the oven lamp. 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 the primary interlock relay located on the control panel circuit board.
NOTE: MONITOR FUSE AND MONITOR SWITCH
ARE REPLACED AS AN ASSEMBLY.

TEST PROCEDURES
Procedure Letter
A.
Magnetron Assembly Test
1. Disconnect the power supply cord, and then remove outercase cabinet.
2. Open the door and block it open.
3. Discharge the 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 SL.
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 (shorted) and must be replaced.
6. Reconnect all leads removed from components during testing.
7. Re-install the outercase cabinet.
8. Reconnect the power supply cord after installing the outer case cabinet.
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 assembeled
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: high voltage rectifier, high voltage capacitor and power transformer. This test will require a 16 oz. (453~~) measuring cup and an accurate mercury thermometer
or thermocouple type temperature tester. For accurate results, the following procedure must be followed:
1.
Fill the measuring cup with 16 oz. (453~~) of tap water and measure the temperature of the water
with a thermometer or thermocouple temperature tester.
through the water until the temperature stabilizes. Record the temperature of the water.
2.
Place the cup of water in the oven. Operate oven on HIGH selecting 62 seconds cook time. Allow
the water to heat.
3.
Remove the cup from the oven and again measure the temperature, making sure to stir the ther-
mometer 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 38” to 78°F (21’ to 42.6%) rise in temperature. If the water temperatures are accurately measured and are 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 cook time.
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.

B.
Power Transformer
1. Disconnect the power supply cord, and then remove outer case cabinet.
2. Open the door and block it open.
3. Discharge the high voltage capacitor.
4. Disconnect the primary input terminals and measure the resistance of the transformer with an ohm-
meter. 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 1R and the resistance of the high voltage coil should be approx-
imately 100Q; the resistance of the filament coil should be less than IQ.
5. Reconnect all leads removed from components during testing.
6. Re-install the outercase cabinet.
7. Reconnect the power supply cord after installing the outer case cabinet.
8. Run the oven and check all functions.
Note: High voltages are present at the high voltage terminal, so do not attempt to measure the fila-
ment and high voltage.
