Disassembly Procedures

!WARNING

To avoid the risk of electrical shock, personal injury or death; disconnect power to oven and discharge capacitors before following any disassembly procedure.

Magnetron Thermal Fuse

NOTE: Thermal fuse is not resettable.

1.Disconnect power to oven and remove control panel, (see "Control Panel" procedure).

2.Discharge high voltage capacitor, (see "High Voltage Capacitor" procedure).

3.Remove outer case, (see "Outer Case" procedure).

4.Disconnect and label wire terminals.

5.Remove screw securing thermal fuse to cooling fan.

6.Replace and reassemble in reverse order.

Magnetron Thermal Fuse

Fan Motor

Humidity Sensor

The sensor is a plug-in device located in the air exhaust duct.

Humidity Sensor Removal

1.Disconnect power to oven and remove control panel, (see "Control Panel" procedure).

2.Discharge high voltage capacitor, (see "High Voltage Capacitor" procedure).

3.Remove outer case, (see "Outer Case" procedure).

4.Remove screws securing sensor to air duct.

5.Disconnect wire terminal plug and replace with new sensor.

6.Reassemble in reverse order.

Oven Thermostat

The oven thermostat is on the air duct assembly.

Thermostat is a resettable thermostat.

1.Disconnect power to oven and remove control panel, (see "Control Panel" procedure).

2.Discharge high voltage capacitor, (see "High Voltage Capacitor" procedure).

3.Remove outer case, (see "Outer Case" procedure).

4.Disconnect wire terminals from oven thermostat.

NOTE: On ACO15* and MMV5156* oven thermostat is used as magnetron thermal fuse as well.

NOTE: On ACO18*, JMV8196*, MMV4184*, and MMV5186* lift upward on left rear corner of air duct to release oven thermostat.

5. Replace and reassemble in reverse order.
