Control Panel Sensor Test

Testing Procedures

!WARNING

To avoid risk of electrical shock, personal injury or death; disconnect power to microwave oven and discharge the high voltage capacitor before servicing, unless testing requires power.

Test Procedure

 

Ventilation Motor

Discharge Capacitor

 

JMV8166BA*, AMV6167BD*

Remove two wires to run capacitor and

 

 

measure resistance across the wires

 

Ventilation Motor

Discharge Capacitor

 

JMV9169BA*

Remove two wires to run capacitor and

 

 

measure resistance across the wires

 

Vent Blower Motor (run)

Discharge Capacitor

 

Capacitor

Remove one wire from capacitor terminals

 

 

 

 

and connect ohmmeter. Set on highest

 

 

resistance scale.

 

Cavity (Flame Sensor)

Disconnect all wires from TCO.

 

Thermal Cut-Out

Measure resistance across terminals

 

(Thermostat)

 

 

Cavity (Flame Sensor)

Disconnect all wires from TCO.

(Thermostat)

 

 

Magnetron Thermal Cut-Out

Disconnect all wires from TCO.

 

(Thermostat)

Measure resistance across terminals

 

Hood Thermal Cut-Out

Disconnect all wires from TCO.

 

(Thermostat)

Measure resistance across terminals

 

 

NOTE: This TCO only works in an

 

 

overheat condition. Otherwise, it will

 

 

measure "open" when testing.

 

Bottom Thermal Cut-Out

Disconnect all wires from TCO.

 

(Thermostat)

Measure resistance across terminals

 

Sensor

Remove the red and black wires, connect

 

 

meter to red and black wires and measure

 

 

continuity

 

 

NOTE: Do not connect the meter to the

 

 

white and orange wires, as this may

 

 

damage the sensor.

Results

Approx. 75 Ω. (Tests all 3 windings.)

Approx. 25 Ω. (Tests all 3 windings.)

Between Terminals: Meter should momentarily indicate several ohms, then return to infinity (deflection). If no deflection occurs, or if continuous deflection occurs, replace capacitor. Terminal to Case: Infinite resistance.Non–resetable.

Open: ..... 212° F (100° C).
