WARNING
High voltages are present during the cook cycle, so extreme caution should be
observed. Discharge the high voltage capacitor before touching any oven components
or wiring.
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. 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 ohm.
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 and must be replaced.
6. Reconnect all leads removed from components during testing.
7. Reinstall the outer case (cabinet).
8. Reconnect the power supply cord after the outer case is installed.

WARNING
Do not touch the components of the power transformer while power transformer is
energized. It is dangerous because this has high voltage components. (High voltages
are present at the high voltage terminal, so do not attempt to measure the filament
and high voltage.)
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 primary input terminals and measure the resistance of the transformer with an
ohmmeter. Check for continuity of the coils with an ohmmeter. On R x 1 scale, the resistance of
the primary coil should be less than 1 ohm and the resistance of the high voltage coil should be
approximately 83 ohms; the resistance of filament coil should be less than 1 ohm.
5. Reconnect all leads removed from components during testing.
6. Reinstall the outer case (cabinet).
7. Reconnect the power supply cord after the outer case is installed.
8. Run the oven and check all functions.
NOTE
Be sure to use an ohmmeter that will supply a forward bias voltage of more than 9.0 volts.

D HIGH VOLTAGE CAPACITOR TEST
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. If the capacitor is open, no high voltage will be available to the magnetron. Disconnect input
leads and check for short or open between the terminals using an ohmmeter.
Checking with a high ohm scale, if the high voltage capacitor is normal, the meter will indicate
continuity for a short time and should indicate an open circuit once the capacitor is charged. If
the above is not the case, check the capacitor with an ohmmeter to see if it is shorted between
either of the terminals and case. If it is shorted, replace the capacitor.
5. Reconnect all leads removed from components during testing.
6. Reinstall the outer case (cabinet).
7. Reconnect the power supply cord after the outer case is installed.

H MONITOR SWITCH TEST
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. Before performing this test, make sure that the secondary interlock switch and the primary
interlock relay are operating properly, according to the Switch Test Procedure. Disconnect the
wire lead from the monitor switch (COM) terminal. Check the monitor switch operation by
using the ohmmeter as follows. When the door is open, the meter should indicate a closed
circuit. When the monitor switch actuator is pushed by a screwdriver through the lower latch
hole on the front plate of the oven cavity with the door opened (in this condition the plunger of
the monitor switch is pushed in), the meter should indicate an open circuit. If improper
operation is indicated, the switch may be defective. After testing the monitor switch, reconnect
wire lead to monitor switch (COM) terminal and check continuity of monitor circuit.
5. Reconnect all leads removed from components during testing.
