1. The line voltage is supplied to the primary winding of
the high voltage 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 RY2 + RY5 + RY6 go back to their home
position. The circuits to the oven lamp, high voltage
transformer, fan motor and turntable motor are cut off.
5. When the oven door is opened during a cooking cycle,
the switches come to the following condition.
The circuit to the high voltage transformer, fan motor and
turntable motor are cut off when the 1st. latch switch, 2nd.
interlock relay control switch are made open. The oven
lamp remains on even if the oven door is opened after the
cooking cycle has been interrupted, because the relay
RY6 stay closed. Shown in the display is remaining time.
6. MONITOR SWITCH CIRCUIT
The monitor switch is mechanically controlled by the
oven door, and monitors the operation of the 1st. latch
switch and the nd. interlock relay RY2.
6-1. When the oven door is opened during or after the
cycle of a cooking program, the 1st. latch switch and
2nd. interlock relay control switch must open their
contacts first. After that the contacts (COM-NC) of the
monitor switch can be closed.
6-2. When the oven door is closed, the contacts (COM-
NC) of the monitor switch must be opened. After that
the contacts of the 1st. latch switch and the 2nd.
interlock relay control switch are closed.
6-3. When the oven door is opened and the contacts of the
1st. latch switch and 2nd. interlock relay remain
closed, the fuse M10A will blow, because the monitor
switch is closed and a short circuit is caused.
When the microwave oven is preset for variable cooking
power, the line voltage is supplied to the high voltage
transformer intermittently within a 32-second time base
through the relay contact which is coupled with the current-limiting relay RY2. The following levels of microwave
power are given.

to open, the fuse M10A blows immediately after closing
the contacts (COM-NC) of the monitor switch.
CAUTION: BEFORE REPLACING A BLOWN FUSE
M10A TEST THE 1ST. LATCH SWITCH, 2ND.
INTERLOCK RELAY RY2, MONITOR
SWITCH AND MONITOR RESISTOR FOR
PROPER OPERATION. (REFER TO CHAPTER “TEST PROCEDURE”).
FUSE M10A 250V
1. If the wire harness or electrical components are shortcircuited, this fuse blows to prevent an electric shock or
fire hazard.
2. This fuse blows when the 1st. latch switch and 2nd.
interlock relay RY2 remain closed with the oven door
open and when the contacts (COM-NC) of monitor
switch closes.
HIGH VOLTAGE FUSE 0.75A
The high voltage fuse blows when the high voltage rectifier
or the magnetron is shorted.
THERMAL CUT-OUT 125˚C (MG)
This thermal cut-out protects the magnetron against overheating. If the temperature goes up higher than 125˚C
because the fan motor is interrupted or the ventilation
openings are blocked, the thermal cut-out will open and
line voltages to the high voltage transformer will be cut off
and the operation of the magnetron will be stopped. The
thermal cut-out will cut back in at 95˚C.
THERMAL CUT-OUT170˚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 the cooking time or failure of control
unit. Under the normal operation, the oven thermal cut-out
remains closed. However, when abnormally high temperature are reached within the oven cavity, oven thermal
cut-out will open at 170˚C causing the oven to shut down.
The thermal cut-out will cut back in at 155˚C.
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 heating food. It is then exhausted
through the exhausting air vents of the oven cavity.
NOISE FILTER
The noise filter assembly prevents radio frequency interference that might flow back in the power circuit.
TOP HEATERS
The top heaters are located on the top of the oven cavity
assembly. The top heaters send out heat to grill foods.
BOTTOM HEATER
The bottom heater is located on the floor of the oven cavity
assembly. The bottom heater sends out heat to grill foods.
FUSE 15A
If the wire harness or electrical components are shortcircuited, this fuse blows to prevent an electric shock or fire
hazard.

SERVICING
WARNING TO SERVICE PERSONNEL
Microwave ovens contain circuitry capable of producing very high voltage and current. Contact with following parts will
result in electrocution.
High voltage capacitor, High voltage 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 high voltage 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 high voltage 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 power level to HIGH (100%) and set the
microwave timer for two (2) minutes. And push the start
key. 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 M10A in the 1st. latch
switch - 2nd. interlock relay(RY2)- monitor
switch - monitor resistor circuit, check the
1st. latch switch, 2nd. interlock relay(RY2),
monitor switch and monitor resistor before replacing the fuse M10A.

LETTERCOMPONENT TEST
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 CHECKS.
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 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 is measured by how much power the water load can absorb. 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 gInitial temperature.............................. 10±2°C
Heating time.............................. 47 sec.
P = 90 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 5K.
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 be an 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) K.
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.

MCONTROL PANEL ASSEMBLY TEST
The touch control panel consists of circuits including semiconductors such as LSI, ICs, etc. Therefore,
unlike conventional microwave ovens, proper maintenance can not be performed with only a voltmeter
and ohmmeter.
In this service manual, the touch control panel assembly is divided into two units, Control Unit and Key
Unit, and also the Control unit is divided into two units, CPU unit and Power unit, and troubleshooting
by replacement is described according to the symptoms indicated.
1. Key Unit Note : Check key unit ribbon connection before replacement.
The following symptoms indicate a defective key unit. Replace the key unit.
a) When touching the pads, a certain pad produces no signal at all.
b) When touching a number pad, two figures or more are displayed.
c) When touching the pads, sometimes a pad produces no signal.
2. Control Panel
The following symptoms indicate a defective control unit. Before replacing the control unit.
perform the key unit test (Procedure N) to determine if control unit is faulty.
2-1 In connection with pads
a) When touching the pads, a certain group of pads do not produce a signal.
b) When touching the pads, no pads produce a signal.
2-2 In connection with indicators
a) At a certain digit, all or some segments do not light up.
b) At a certain digit, brightness is low.
c) Only one indicator does not light up.
d) The corresponding segments of all digits do not light up; or they continue to light up.
e) Wrong figure appears.
f) A certain group of indicators do not light up.
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.
NKEY UNIT TEST
If the display fails to clear when the STOP/CLEAR pad is depressed, first verify the flat ribbon cable
is marking 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, disconnecct 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
connecter). 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 marking 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 a 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
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 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.
approx. 1M ohm
2. Shapes of Electronic Components
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 the
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).

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 AND 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 be-
tween 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 be-
tween the touch control panel and the oven
proper is so long enough that they may be
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) Connect the connector of the key unit to the control
unit being sure that the lead wires are not twisted.
3) After aluminium foil is removed, be careful that
abnormal voltage due to static electricity etc. is not
applied to the input or output terminals.
4) Attach connectors, electrolytic capacitors, etc. to
PWB, making sure that all connections are tight.
5) Be sure to use specified components where high
precision is required.

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.
Recommended instruments are:
NARDA 8100
NARDA 8200
HOLADAY HI 1500
SIMPSON 380M
2. Place the oven tray into the oven cavity.
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.
