SERVICING

WARNING TO SERVICE PERSONNEL

Microwave ovens contain circuitry capable of pro- ducing very high voltage and current, contact with any part of the high voltage circuit will result in electrocution. High voltage capacitor, Power trans- former, Magnetron, High voltage rectifier assem- bly, High voltage fuse, 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 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 trans- former.

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 microwave timer for two (2) minutes. Set the power level to HIGH and push the START button. 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 should be carried out.

TROUBLESHOOTING GUIDE

When troubleshooting the microwave oven, it is helpful to
