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 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 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±5˚C (68˚F) 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 and the primary interlock relay do turn the oven OFF before any door movement.
NOTE: After servicing, record data on service invoice and microwave leakage report.

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
noise filter and 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.
MICROWAVE COOKING CONDITION
Program desired cooking time by rotating the rotary dial.
Program the power level by touching the MICRO 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)
RELAYCONNECTED COMPONENTS
RY-1oven lamp/ turntable motor
RY-2power transformer
RY-5fan motor
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:
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
2000 volts A.C. on the high voltage winding.
3. The filament winding voltage heats the magnetron
filament 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 feedbox, 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.
NOTE: If the thermistor temperature is above
250˚F(120˚C), the circuit to RY5 will be maintained
(by thermistor circuit) to continue operation of
the cooling fan motor until the temperature
drops below 250˚F(120˚C).
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 (RY2) are
activated with the following results. The circuits to the
turntable motor, the cooling fan motor, and the high
VARI-MODEON TIMEOFF TIME
P100 (100% power)32 sec.0 sec.
P-70 (approx. 70% power)24 sec.8 sec.

P-30 (approx. 30% power)12 sec.20 sec.
P-10 (approx. 10% power) 6 sec.26 sec.
P-0 (approx. 0% power) 0 sec.32 sec.
Note:The ON/OFF time ratio does not correspond with
the percentage of microwave power, because
approx. 3 seconds are needed for heating of the
magnetron filament.
POWER OUTPUT REDUCTION
If the oven is set more than 20 minutes at MICRO 100%
power level, after the first 20 minutes, the power level will
automatically adjust to 70% to avoid overcooking.
GRILL COOKING CONDITIONS
The oven has two grill cooking conditions. They are the
UPPER HEATER mode and UPPER AND LOWER
HEATERS mode.
6
R-55TS-F
UPPER HEATER MODE (GRILL1)
In this mode, the food is cooked by the upper heater. Press
the GRILL pad once and then enter the cooking time by
rotating the rotary dial. When the START pad is pressed,
the following operations occur (Figure O-3):
1. The relays (RY1, RY3 and RY5) are energized.
2. The numbers of the digital read-out start the count down
to zero.
3. Then the upper heater, turntable motor, oven lamp and
fan motor are energized.
4. Now, the food is grilled by the upper heater.
5. Upon completion of the selected cooking time, audible
signal sounds and the contacts of relays (RY1, RY2 and
RY3) are opened, then the upper heater, turntable
motor and oven lamp are de-energized. But the relay
(RY5) stays closed and the fan motor operates until the
thermistor temperature drops below 250˚F(120˚C).
NOTE: Maximum cooking time is 30 minutes.
UPPER AND LOWER HEATERS MODE (GRILL 2)
In this mode, the food is cooked by both the upper heater
and lower heater. Press the GRILL pad twice and then
enter the cooking time by rotating the rotary dial. When the
START pad is pressed, the following operations occur
(Figure O-4):
1. The relays (RY1, RY3, RY4, and RY5) are energized.
2. The numbers of the digital read-out start the count down
to zero.
3. Then the upper heater, lower heater, turntable motor,
oven lamp and fan motor are energized.
4. Now, the food is grilled by the upper heater and the lower
heater.
5. Upon completion of the selected cooking time, audible
signal sounds and the contacts of relays (RY1, RY3, and
RY4) are opened, then the upper heating elements,
lower heating element, turntable motor and oven lamp
are de-energized. But the relay (RY5) stays closed and
the fan motor operates until the thermistor temperature
drops below 250˚F(120˚C).
NOTE: Maximum cooking time is 30 minutes.
5-2. The oven will continue to function for 30 minutes,
turning the upper heater and the lower heater on
and off, as needed to maintain the selected preheat
temperature. The oven will shutdown completely
after 30 minutes
[BAKE TIME COOKING CONDITION]
6. When the preheat temperature is reached, a beep
signal will sound indicating that the holding temperature
has been reached in the oven cavity. Open the door and
place the food to be cooked in the oven. In this time, to
keep the oven temperature, the fan motor will not
operate when the door is opened. When the START pad
is touched, the following operations occur:
7. The numbers on the digital read-out start to count down
to zero.
8. The relays (RY1, RY3, RY4 and RY5) are energized and
the oven lamp, turntable motor and cooling fan motor
are energized.
9. The relays (RY3 and RY4) are energized (if the cavity
temperature is lower than the selected temperature)
and the main supply voltage is applied to the heating
elements to return to the selected cooking temperature.
10.Upon completion of the cooking time, the audible signal
will sound, and oven lamp, turntable motor and cooling
fan motor are de-energized. At the end of the Bake
cooking cycle, if the thermistor temperature is above
250˚F(120˚C), the circuit to RY5 will be maintained (by
the thermistor circuit) to continue operation of the cooling
fan motor until the temperature drops below
250˚F(120˚C), at which time the relay will be deenergized, turning off the fan motor.
NOTE: The actual oven temperature may differ from the
set temperature. Because the oven regulates
the oven temperature by turning the upper and
lower heaters on and off.
BAKE COOKING CONDITION
1. Program desired oven temperature by touching the
BAKE pad. Enter the cooking time by rotating the rotary
dial. When the START pad is touched, the following
operations occur (Figure O-5):
[PREHEATING CONDITION]
2. The coil of shut-off relays (RY1, RY3, RY4 and RY5) are
energized.
3. The numbers of the digital read-out start the count down
to zero.
4. Then the upper heater, lower heater, turntable motor,
oven lamp and fan motor are energized.
5. When the oven temperature reaches the selected
preheat temperature, the following operations occur:
5-1 The relays (RY3 and RY4) are de-energized by the
control unit temperature circuit and thermistor,
opening the circuit to the heating elements.

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.
3. If the door is opened, and the primary interlock relay
(RY2) and the secondary interlock switch contact 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,
RELAY (RY1), PRIMARY INTERLOCK RELAY
(RY2), 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 food on the turntable
is cooked evenly. The turntable may turn in either direction.
COOLING FAN MOTOR
The cooling 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.
THERMAL CUT-OUT 125˚C
This thermal cut-out protects the upper heater against
overheating. If the temperature goes up higher than 257˚F
(125˚C) because the fan motor is interrupted or the ventilation
openings are blocked, the thermal cut-out will open and
line voltages to all electrical parts will be cut off and the
operation of the oven will be stopped. The thermal cut-out
will not resume.
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), relay (RY1) and secondary interlock
switch fail to open when the door is opened.
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 (RY2) and
secondary interlock switch are in the OFF condition
(contacts open) due to its being normally open contact
switches. But the contacts of relay (RY1) are closed to
turn on the oven lamp.
2. As the door goes to a closed position, the monitor switch
contacts are first opened and then the door sensing switch
and secondary interlock switch contacts close. At this time,
the contacts of the relay (RY1) and the primary interlock
relay (RY2) are in the OFF condition (contacts open)
OVEN THERMOSTAT
The oven thermostat is located on the top of the oven cavity.
The oven thermostat will open at higher than 302˚F (150˚C).
And the oven thermostat will close at lower than 266˚F
(130˚C).
TEMPERATURE FUSE (MAGNETRON)
The temperature fuse, located near the magnetron, is
designed to prevent damage to the magnetron. If an over
heated condition develops in the magnetron due to cooling
fan failure, obstructed air guide, dirty or blocked air intake,
etc., 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 302˚F (150˚C), causing the oven to shut down.
UPPER HEATER
The upper heater is located on the top of the oven cavity
assembly. The upper heater sends out heat to cook foods.
10
R-55TS-F
LOWER HEATER
The lower heater is located under the bottom of the oven
cavity assembly. The lower heater sends out heat to cook
foods.
NOISE FILTER
The noise filter prevents the radio frequency interference
that might flow back in the power unit.
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, primary
interlock relay (RY2), door sensing switch and secondary interlock switch before replacing the monitor
fuse. If monitor fuse is replaced, the monitor switch must also be replaced. Use part FFS-BA038WRKZ
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.
