TEST PROCEDURES (CONT’D)
COMPONENT TEST
3.Water container should be one (1) litre beaker made of Pyrex glass and its diameter approxi- mately 12 cm.
4.Room temperature should be around 20 “C.
5.Power supply voltage should be specification voltage.
POWER TRANSFORMER TEST
DISCHARGE THE HIGH VOLTAGE CAPACITOR BEFORE TOUCHING ANY OVEN COMPO- NENTS OR WIRING.
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 the R x 1 scale, the resistance of the primary coil should be approx. 1.6 ohm and the resistance of the high voltage coil should be approximately 74 ohms; the resistance of the filament coil should be less than 1 ohm.
(HIGH VOLTAGES ARE PRESENT TO HIGH VOLTAGE TERMINAL, SO DO NOT ATTEMPT TO MEASURE THE FILAMENT AND HIGH VOLTAGE.)
C | HIGH VOLTAGE RECTIFIER AND RECTIFIER TEST |
DISCHARGE THE HIGH VOLTAGE CAPACITOR BEFORE TOUCHING ANY OVEN COMPO- NENTS OR WIRING.
HIGH VOLTAGE RECTIFIER TEST
Isolate the high voltage rectifier from the circuit. Using the highest ohm scale of the meter read the resistance across the terminals and observe, reverse the leads to the high voltage rectifier terminals and observe meter reading. If a short is indicated in both directions, or if an infinite resistance is read in both directions, the high voltage rectifier is probably defective and should be replaced.
RECTIFIER TEST
Isolate the rectifier from the circuit. Using the highest ohm scale of the meter, read the resistance across the terminals, reverse the leads to the rectifier terminals and observe meter reading. If an infinite resistance is read in both directions, the rectifier is good.
If a short is indicated in either direction, the one is probably defective and should be replaced.
D | HIGH VOLTAGE CAPACITOR TEST |
DISCHARGE THE HIGH VOLTAGE CAPACITOR BEFORE TOUCHING ANY OVEN COMPO- NENTS OR WIRING.
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 | approximately | IOM R | once the capacitor is |
charged. | If the | above | is not | the | case, check the | capacitoi’with | an ohmmeter | to see if it is shorted |
between the terminals. If it is shorted, replace the capacitor. |
