REMOVING THE HIGH VOLTAGE RECTIFIER

AND THE HIGH VOLTAGE CAPACITOR

WARNING

Personal Injury Hazard

Disconnect from the electrical supply be- fore servicing the unit. Failure to do so could result in death or electrical shock.

CAUTION: Because of the weight and size of the microwave oven, two people are required to safely move and install it. Failure to do so could result in personal injury.

1.Disconnect the electrical supply to the microwave oven.

2.Refer to page 2-28 for accessing the high voltage components.

WARNING

Personal Injury Hazard

Disconnect from power supply before ser- vicing. Discharge the capacitor using a 20,000-ohm discharge resistor, or an insu- lated plastic-handle screwdriver to short across the capacitor terminals.

3.Discharge the high-voltage capacitor.

4.Unplug the wire connector going to the line fuse.

5.Remove the fan motor assembly from the unit (see the illustration on page 2-19 for the procedure).

Replacing The High Voltage Rectifier

1.Unplug one end of the high voltage recti- fier from the high voltage capacitor termi- nal.

2.Remove the mounting screw from the capacitor strap flange at the other end of the high voltage rectifier, and remove the rectifier.

3.Mount the eyelet on the end of the high voltage rectifier lead to the capacitor strap flange with its mounting screw.

4.Reassemble the microwave oven.

Replacing The High Voltage Capacitor

1.Unplug the leads going to the high volt- age capacitor terminals.

2.Remove the capacitor mounting strap screw, then remove the old capacitor.

3.Position the new high voltage capacitor with the round blister (between the leads), at the top, and loosely mount it to the chassis with the capacitor mounting strap and the mounting screw you removed in the previous step. Make sure that the flange on the strap is against the front edge of the capacitor, and tighten the screw just enough to hold the capacitor in place.

4.Reassemble the microwave oven.
