LETTER

 

CHIGH VOLTAGE RECTIFIER TEST

1.Disconnect the power supply cord, and then remove outer case.

2.Open the door and block it open.

3.Discharge high voltage capacitor.

4.Isolate the rectifier from the circuit. Using the highest ohm scale of the meter, read the resistance across the terminals and observe, reverse the leads to the rectifier terminals and observe meter reading. If a short is indicated in both directions, or if an infinite resistance is read in both directions, the rectifier is probably defective and should be replaced.

5.Reconnect all leads removed from components during testing.

6.Reinstall the outer case (cabinet).

7.Reconnect the power supply cord after the outer case is installed.

8.Run the oven and check all functions.

NOTE: Be sure to use an ohmmeter that will supply a forward bias voltage of more than 6.3 volts.

DHIGH VOLTAGE CAPACITOR TEST

1.Disconnect the power supply cord, and then remove outer case.

2.Open the door and block it open.

3.Discharge high voltage capacitor.

4.If the capacitor is open, no high voltage will be available to the magnetron. Disconnect input leads and check for short or open between the terminals using an ohmmeter.

Checking with a high ohm scale, if the high voltage capacitor is normal, the meter will indicate continuity for a short time and should indicate an open circuit once the capacitor is charged. If the above is not the case, check the capacitor with an ohmmeter to see if it is shorted between either of the terminals and case. If it is shorted, replace the capacitor.

5.Reconnect all leads removed from components during testing.

6.Reinstall the outer case (cabinet).

7.Reconnect the power supply cord after the outer case is installed.

8.Run the oven and check all functions.

ECAVITY TEMPERATURE FUSE TEST

1.Disconnect the power supply cord, and then remove outer case.

2.Open the door and block it open.

3.Discharge high voltage capacitor.

4.A continuity check across the cavity temperature fuse terminals should indicate a closed circuit unless the temperature of the cavity temperature fuse reaches approximately 302OF(150OC). An open cavity temperature fuse indicates overheating of the oven, exchange the cavity temperature fuse and check inside of oven cavity and for improper setting of cooking time or operation of control unit. Check for restricted air flow through the vent holes of the oven cavity, especially the cooling fan and air guide.

5.Reconnect all leads removed from components during testing.

6.Reinstall the outer case (cabinet).

7.Reconnect the power supply cord after the outer case is installed.

8.Run the oven and check all functions.

MAGNETRON TEMPERATURE FUSE TEST

1.Disconnect the power supply cord, and then remove outer case.

2.Open the door and block it open.

3.Discharge high voltage capacitor.

4.A continuity check across the magnetron temperature fuse terminals should indicate a closed circuit unless the temperature of the magnetron temperature fuse reaches approximately 302OF(150OC). An open magnetron temperature fuse indicates overheating of the magnetron. Check for restricted air flow to the magnetron, especially the cooling fan air guide.

5.Reconnect all leads removed from components during testing.

6.Reinstall the outer case (cabinet).

7.Reconnect the power supply cord after the outer case is installed.

Sharp R-520LK, R-520LW Procedure Component Test Letter High Voltage Rectifier Test, High Voltage Capacitor Test

R-520LK, R-520LW specifications

The Sharp R-520LW and R-520LK are innovative microwave ovens that combine advanced technology with user-friendly features to enhance cooking experiences. Designed with modern kitchens in mind, these models embody efficiency, precision, and versatility.

One of the defining characteristics of both the R-520LW and R-520LK is their powerful 900-watt output, which allows for speedy cooking and reheating. This high wattage ensures that food is cooked evenly and retains its moisture, preventing the common issue of dry or unevenly heated meals. Furthermore, the inclusion of multiple cooking power levels provides users with flexibility, making it easy to select the ideal setting for various types of food.

Both models feature Sharp's signature Inverter Technology. Unlike traditional microwaves that use a turn-on and turn-off cycling method, inverter technology delivers a steady stream of cooking power. This results in more consistent heating, allowing delicate foods such as fish or custards to be cooked perfectly without overcooking the edges. This technology not only enhances the quality of cooked food but also improves the overall efficiency of the microwave.

The R-520LW and R-520LK come equipped with a variety of auto-cook settings that cater to different culinary needs. From popcorn to frozen vegetables, these pre-programmed settings allow users to prepare meals with just a touch of a button, making cooking uncomplicated for all skill levels. The large, user-friendly control panel features intuitive buttons and a digital display, ensuring effortless operation and visibility.

In terms of design, the R-520LW boasts a sleek white finish, while the R-520LK offers a modern black aesthetic. Both models are compact yet spacious, with a generous interior capacity that can accommodate a range of dish sizes. The turntable feature further enhances cooking efficiency by ensuring even cooking all around.

Cleaning and maintaining the R-520LW and R-520LK is a breeze, thanks to their easy-to-wipe surfaces and the interior's cavity that can be easily accessed. The durable construction of these microwaves means they are designed to withstand the rigors of daily use.

In summary, the Sharp R-520LW and R-520LK microwave ovens stand out with their advanced features, such as inverter technology and pre-programmed cooking settings, making them excellent choices for anyone looking to streamline their kitchen tasks. Their stylish designs and user-friendly interfaces further enhance their appeal, making them valuable additions to any modern home.
