OPERATION SEQUENCE
The circuits to the power transformer, fan motor and
turntable motor are cut off when the 1st. latch switch and
2nd. interlock relay control switch are made open.

OFF CONDITION
Closing the door activates all door interlock switches
(1st. latch switch, 2nd. interlock relay control switch).

The oven lamp remains on even if the oven door is

opened after the cooking cycle has been interrupted,
because the relay RY1 stays closed. Shown in the
display is the remaining time.

IMPORTANT
When the oven door is closed, the monitor switch contacts
(COM-NC) must be open.
When the microwave oven is plugged in a wall outlet, rated
voltage is supplied to the control unit.

6. MONITOR SWITCH CIRCUIT

The monitor switch is mechanically controlled by oven
door, and monitors the operation of the 1st. latch switch
and the 2nd. interlock relay.
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 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 M8A will blow, because the monitor switch is
closed and a short circuit is caused.

COOKING
When the microwave oven is preset for variable cooking
power, rated voltage is supplied to the power transformer
intermittently within a 32-second time base through the relay
contact which is coupled with the current-limiting relay. The
following levels of microwave power are given.

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 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 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.

THERMAL CUT-OUT 125C (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 cook time or failure of control unit. Under normal
operation, the thermal cut-out remains closed. However,
when abnormally high temperatures are reached within the
oven cavity, the thermal cut-out will open at 125C, causing
the oven to shut down. The defective thermal cut-out must
be replaced with a new one.

THERMAL CUT-OUT 95C (MAGNETRON )

The thermal cut-out located on the top of the oven cavity 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
to the thermal cut-out , it will open at 95C, causing the oven
to shut down. When the magnetron has cooled to 75C, the
thermal cut-out closes and cook cycle will resume.

1ST. LATCH SWITCH AND 2ND. INTERLOCK RELAY CONTROL SWITCH

1. When the oven door is closed, the contacts (COM-NO)
must be closed.
2. When the oven door is opened, the contacts (COM-NO)
must be opened.

MONITOR SWITCH
1. When the oven door is closed, the contacts (COM-NC)
must be opened.
2. When the oven door is opened, the contacts (COM-NC)
must be closed.
3. If the oven door is opened and the contacts (COM-NO)
of the 1st latch switch and 2nd. interlock relay fail to open,
the fuse blows simultaneously with closing the contacts
(COM-NC) of the monitor switch.

TURNTABLE MOTOR
The turntable motor drives the roller stay 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 the heating foods. It is then exhausted through
the exhausting air vents at the oven cavity.

CAUTION: BEFORE REPLACING A FUSE TEST THE

1ST LATCH SWITCH, 2ND. INTERLOCK
RELAY(RY2), 2ND. INTERLOCK RELAY
CONTROL SWITCH, MONITOR SWITCH AND
MONITOR RESISTOR FOR PROPER OPERATION. (REFER TO CHAPTER "TEST
PROCEDURE".)

MONITOR RESISTOR 0.8 20W

The monitor resistor prevents the fuse bursting when the
fuse blows due to the operation of the monitor switch.

FUSE
1. The fuse blows when the contacts (COM-NO) of the 1st
latch switch and 2nd. interlock relay remain closed with
the oven door open and when the monitor switch closes.
2. If the wire harness or electrical components are shortcircuited, the fuse M8A blows to prevent an electric shock
of fire hazard.

SERVICING
WARNING TO SERVICE PERSONNEL
Microwave ovens contain circuitry capable of producing very high voltage and current, contact with any part of the high
voltage circuit will result in electrocution. High voltage capacitor, Power transformer, Magnetron, High voltage rectifier
assembly, High voltage fuse, High voltage harness.
REMEMBER TO CHECK 3D

REMEMBER TO CHECK 4R

1) Disconnect the supply.

2) Door opened, and wedged open.
3) Discharge high voltage capacitor.

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.

WARNING: AGAINST THE CHARGE OF THE

HIGH-VOLTAGE CAPACITOR

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. 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 3D checks
and re-examine the connections to the component being
tested.

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.

When all service work is completed and the oven is fully assembled, the microwave power output should be
checked and microwave leakage test should be carried out.

TROUBLESHOOTING GUIDE
IMPORTANT: If the oven becomes inoperative because of
a blown fuse M8A in the 1st. latch switch 2nd. interlock relay - monitor switch - monitor resistor circuit, check the 1st. latch switch,
2nd. interlock relay, 2nd. interlock relay control switch, monitor switch and monitor
resistor before replacing the fuse M8A.

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.

COMPONENT TEST

MAGNETRON 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 the high voltage circuit by removing all leads connected to the 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 a short circuit 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 IEC test procedure,
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.
The formula is as follows;
P x t / 4.187 = V x T+ 0.55 x mc (T2-T0)
Our condition for water load is as follows:
Room temperature (T0) ... around 20C
Water load ..................................1000 g
Heating time .............................. 52 sec.
T2 ............................ Final Temperature

P (W) = 4.187 x V x T / t + 0.55 x mc (T2-T0)/t

Power supply Voltage .............. Rated voltage
Initial temperature (T1) ...................... 101C
Mass of container (mc) ......................... 330 g
P = 80 x T + 0.55 x mc (T2-T0)/52

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 of the test.
3. Temperature of the water
The initial temperature of the water is (101)C.
4. Select the initial and final water temperature so that the maximum difference between the final water
temperature and the ambient temperature is 5C.
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 0.1C at minimum and an accurate thermometer.
7. The water load must be (10005) g.
8. t is measured while the microwave generator is operating at full power. Magnetron filament heat-up
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 = 11C)
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
10C.
5. Stir the water to equalize temperature throughout the vessel.
6. Measure the final water temperature. (Example: The final temperature T2 = 21C)
7. Calculate the microwave power output P in watts from above formula.

POWER TRANSFORMER TEST

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:
Primary winding
Secondary winding
Filament winding

KEY UNIT TEST

If the display fails to clear when the Detencin/Cancelacin (STOP/CLEAR) pad is depressed, first verify
the flat ribbon cable is making good contact, verify that the 2nd. interlock relay control switch (door
sensing switch) operates properly; that is the contacts are closed when the door is closed and open when
the door is open. If the 2nd. interlock relay control switch (door sensing switch) is good, disconnect the
flat ribbon cable that connects the key unit to the control unit and make sure the 2nd. interlock relay control
switch (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 Detencin/Cancelacin (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
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.

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).

approx. 1M ohm

3. 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

2. 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.

4. 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.

A. On some models, the power supply cord between the

touch control panel and the oven itself is so short that
the two cant 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 so 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

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.
2.
3.

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.

4.

5.
6.

Recommended instruments are:

NARDA 8100
NARDA 8200
HOLADAY HI 1500
SIMPSON 380M
Place the oven tray into the oven cavity.
Place the load of 275 15ml of water initially at 20 5C
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.
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.
Move the probe slowly (not faster that 2.5cm/sec.) along
the gap.
The microwave radiation emission should be measured
at any point of 5cm or more from the external surface of
the oven.
