COMPONENT TEST

LETTER

 

b)At a certain digit, brightness is low.

c)Only one indicator does not light.

d)The corresponding segments of all digits do not light up; or they continue to light up.

e)Wrong figure appears.

f)A certain group of indicators do not light up.

g)The figure of all digits flicker.

2-3 Other possible troubles caused by defective control unit.

a)Buzzer does not sound or continues to sound.

b)Clock does not operate properly.

c)Cooking is not possible.

LKEY UNIT TEST

If the display fails to clear when the STOP/CLEAR pad is depressed, first verify the flat ribbon cable is making good contact, verify that the door 2nd. interlock relay control switch operates properly; that is the contacts are closed when the door is closed and open when the door is open. If the 2nd. interlock relay control switch is good, disconnect the flat ribbon cable that connects the key unit to the control unit and make sure the 2nd. interlock relay control switch is closed (either close the door or short the 2nd. interlock relay control switch connector). Use the key unit matrix indicated on the control panel schematic and place a jumper wire between the pins that correspond to the STOP/CLEAR pad making momentary contact. If the control unit responds by clearing with a beep the key unit is faulty and must be replaced. If the control unit does not respond, it is faulty and must be replaced.

If a specific pad does not respond, the above method may be used (after clearing the control unit) to determine if the control unit

or key pad is at fault.

MRELAY TEST

Remove the outer case and check voltage between Pin No 1 of the 2-pin connector (A) and the normal open terminal of the relay RY1 on the power unit with an A.C. voltmeter. The meter should indicate 230 - 240 volts, if not check oven circuit.

RY1 and RY2 Relay Test

These relays are operated by D.C. voltage.

Check voltage at the relay coil with a D.C. voltmeter during the microwave cooking operation. DC. voltage indicated ............... Defective relay.

DC. voltage not indicated ......... Check diode which is connected to the relay coil. If diode is good,

control unit is defective.
