EXHAUST OVEN THERMISTOR TH3

The thermistor is a negative temperature coefficient type. The temperature in the exhaust duct is detected through the resistance of the thermistor.

If the temperature is high, the control panel will display “EE7” and the oven will stop to avoid overheating and catching fire.

If the thermistor is open, the control panel will display "EE6" and the oven will stop.

MAGNETRON THERMISTORS TH1, TH2

The thermistor is a negative temperature coefficient type. The air temperature around the magnetron is detected through the resistance of the thermistor.

If the temperature is high, the control panel will display "EE17" and the oven will stop to protect the lower magn- etron against overheat.

If the magnetron thermistor is open, the control panel will display "EE16" and the oven will stop.

If the magnetron thermistor is short, the control panel will display "EE19" and the oven will stop.

BLOWER MOTOR BM

The blower motor BM drives a blade which draws external cool air into the oven. This cool air is directed through the air vanes surrounding the magnetrons and cools the magnetrons. This air is channelled through the oven cavity to remove steam and vapours given off from the heating foods. It is then exhausted through the exhausting air vents at the oven cavity.

ANTENNA MOTORS SM

The upper and lower antenna motors SM drive stirrer antennas.

OVEN LAMP OL

The oven cavity light illuminates the interior of the oven so that food being cooked can be examined visually through the door window without having to open the door. The oven lamp is on during the cooking cycle and idle condition.

TROUBLESHOOTING GUIDE

When troubleshooting the microwave oven, it is helpful to follow the Sequence of Operation in performing the checks. Many of the possible causes of trouble will require that a specific test be performed. These tests are given a procedure letter which will be found in the “Test Procedure”section.

IMPORTANT: If the oven becomes inoperative because of a blown fuse F1 F10A (or F2 F10A) in the interlock switch SW1 (or SW2) - monitor switches SW3 (or SW4) , check the interlock switch SW1 (or SW2) and monitor switches SW3 (or SW4) before replacing the fuse F1 F10A (or F2 F10A).

R-22AT, R-24AT specifications

The Sharp R-24AT and R-22AT microwave ovens are advanced kitchen appliances designed to enhance cooking convenience, efficiency, and versatility. Both models incorporate innovative technologies and features that cater to modern cooking needs.

The Sharp R-24AT boasts a robust 900 watts of cooking power, enabling users to prepare a wide variety of meals quickly and effectively. Its spacious 24-liter capacity is suitable for families and those who enjoy entertaining. One of the standout features of the R-24AT is its intelligent sensor technology, which automatically detects humidity levels in the cooking food. This innovative feature ensures optimal cooking times and temperatures, resulting in perfectly cooked dishes without the guesswork.

Another key technology in the R-24AT is the inverter cooking system. This system provides a seamless flow of power throughout the cooking process, allowing for more precise temperature control. Unlike traditional microwaves that operate in full power or off, inverter technology ensures consistent heat, which is particularly beneficial for tasks such as defrosting, reheating, and simmering.

The Sharp R-22AT, while slightly more compact with a 22-liter capacity, also delivers impressive performance with 800 watts of power. It features a similar inverter cooking system that guarantees even cooking results. Both models come with multiple auto-cook presets, providing users with a selection of quick options for common dishes such as popcorn, pizza, and oatmeal. This feature streamlines meal preparation and reduces the time spent on planning meals.

In addition, the user-friendly control panel on both models includes a combination of push-button and rotary dial controls for easy navigation. The inclusion of a bright LED display further enhances usability, allowing cooks to monitor cooking times and settings easily.

Safety is another critical aspect of the Sharp R-24AT and R-22AT. Both models come equipped with a child lock feature, ensuring peace of mind in homes with young children. The stainless steel interiors of these microwaves facilitate easy cleaning, while their sleek design adds a modern touch to any kitchen.

In summary, the Sharp R-24AT and R-22AT microwave ovens stand out for their advanced cooking technologies, user-friendly features, and thoughtful design. They empower home cooks to prepare meals with precision and ease, making them a valuable addition to any kitchen.
