DESCRIPTION AND FUNCTION OF COMPONENTS
DOOR SENSING AND SECONDARY INTERLOCK SWITCHES
The door sensing switch in the primary interlock system is mounted in the upper position on the latch hook, the secondary interlock switch is mounted in the lower position on the latch hook. They are activated by the latch heads on the door. When the door is opened, the switches interrupt the circuit to all components. A cook cycle cannot take place until the door is firmly closed thereby activating both inter- lock switches. The primary interlock system consists of the door sensing switch and primary interlock relay located on the control circuit board.

OUTER CASE SWITCHES
The two outer case switches are mounted near the power supply cord at the oven cavity rear plate. When the outer case cabinet is installed with the screws, one of the screws pushes the actuator and then the actuator pushes each plungers of the two outer case switches and their contacts are closed. When a cabinet mounting screw which is push- ing the actuator is removed, the two outer case switches interrupt the circuit to the all components.
WARNING
The circuit to all components can be connected to the power supply without the outer case cabinet by reinstall- ing the cabinet mounting screw. BUT AT THAT TIME,
NEVER TOUCH ANY PARTS OF THE HIGH VOLTAGE CIRCUIT TO AVOID ELECTROCUTION.
This outer case mounting screw is pushing the actuator.

MONITOR SWITCH
The monitor switch is mounted on the middle position of latch hook. It is activated (the contacts opened) by the lower latch head while the door is closed. The switch is intended to render the oven inoperative by means of blowing the monitor fuse when the contacts of the primary interlock relay and secondary interlock switch fail to open when the door is opened.
Functions:
1.When the door is opened, the monitor switch contact close (to the ON condition) due to their being normally closed. At this time the door sensing and secondary interlock switches are in the OFF condition (contacts open) due to their being normally open contact switches.
2.As the door goes to a closed position, the monitor switch contacts are first opened and then the door sensing switch and the secondary interlock switch contacts close. (On opening the door, each of these switches operate inversely.)
3.If the door is opened, and the primary interlock relay and secondary interlock switch contacts fail to open, the monitor fuse blows simultaneously with closing of the monitor switch contacts.
CAUTION: BEFORE REPLACING A BLOWN MONITOR FUSE TEST THE DOOR SENSING SWITCH, PRIMARY INTERLOCK RELAY, SECONDARY INTERLOCK SWITCH AND MONITOR SWITCH FOR PROPER OPERATION. (RE- FER TO CHAPTER “TEST PROCEDURE”).
NOTE: MONITOR FUSE AND MONITOR SWITCH ARE REPLACED AS AN ASSEMBLY.

THERMISTOR
The thermistor is a negative temperature coefficient type. The temperature in the oven cavity is detected through the resistance of the thermistor, and then the control unit causes the heater relay to operate, thus the current to the heating element is turned ON/OFF.
MAGNETRON TEMPERATURE FUSE.
The temperature fuse located on the waveguide is designed to prevent damage to the magnetron if an over heated condition develops in the megnetron due to cooling fan failure, obstructed air guide, dirty or blocked air intake, etc. Under normal operation, the temperature fuse remains closed. However, when abnormally high temperatures are reached within the magnetron, the temperature fuse will open at 302˚F(150˚C) causing the oven to shut down.
