AMAGNETRON ASSEMBLY TEST

HIGH VOLTAGES ARE PRESENT DURING THE COOK CYCLE, SO EXTREME CAUTION SHOULD BE OBSERVED.

DISCHARGE THE HIGH VOLTAGE CAPACITOR BEFORE TOUCHING ANY OVEN COMPONENTS OR WIRING.

To test for an open filament, isolate the magnetron from the high voltage circuit. A continuity check across the magnetron filament leads should indicate less than 1 ohm.

To test for a shorted magnetron, connect the ohmmeter leads between the magnetron filament leads and chassis ground. This test should indicate an infinite resistance. If there is little or no resistance the magnetron is grounded and must be replaced.

Power output of the magnetron can be measured by performing a water temperature rise test. This test should only be used if above tests do not indicate a faulty magnetron and there is no defect in the following components or wiring: silicon rectifier, high voltage capacitor and power transformer. This test will require a 16 ounce (453cc) measuring cup and an accurate mercury thermometer or thermocouple type temperature tester. For accurate results, the following procedure must be followed carefully:

1.Fill the measuring cup with 16 oz. (453cc) of tap water and measure the temperature of the water with a thermometer or thermocouple temperature tester. Stir the thermometer or thermocouple through the water until the temperature stabilizes. Record the temperature of the water.

2.Place the cup of water in the oven. Operate oven at POWER HI(HIGH) selecting more than 60 seconds cook time. Allow the water to heat for 60 seconds, measuring with a stop watch, second hand of a watch or the digital read-out countdown.

3.Remove the cup from the oven and again measure the temperature, making sure to stir the thermometer or thermocouple through the water until the maximum temperature is recorded.

4.Subtract the cold water temperature from the hot water temperature. The normal result should be 22 to 43˚F(12.2 to 23.8˚C) rise in temperature. If the water temperatures are accurately measured and tested for the required time period the test results will indicate if the magnetron tube has low power output (low rise in water temperature) which would extend cooking time or high power output (high rise in water temperature) which would reduce cooking time. Because cooking time can be adjusted to compensate for power output, the magnetron tube assembly should be replaced only if the water temperature rise test indicates a power output well beyond the normal limits. The test is only accurate if the power supply line voltage is 120 volts and the oven cavity is clean.

BPOWER TRANSFORMER TEST

DISCHARGE THE HIGH VOLTAGE CAPACITOR BEFORE TOUCHING ANY OVEN COMPONENTS OR WIRING.

Disconnect the primary input terminals and measure the resistance of the transformer with an ohmmeter. Check for continuity of the coils with an ohmmeter. On the R x 1 scale, the resistance of the primary coil should be less than 1 ohm and the resistance of the high voltage coil should be approximately 84.4 ohms; the resistance of the filament coil should be less than 1 ohm.

(HIGH VOLTAGES ARE PRESENT AT THE HIGH VOLTAGE TERMINAL, SO DO NOT ATTEMPT TO MEASURE THE FILAMENT AND HIGH VOLTAGE.)

CHIGH VOLTAGE RECTIFIER TEST

DISCHARGE THE HIGH VOLTAGE CAPACITOR BEFORE TOUCHING ANY OVEN COMPONENTS OR WIRING.

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.

R-930AW specifications

The Sharp R-930 series of microwave ovens, including the R-930AK, R-930AW, and R-930CS models, represent a blend of advanced technology and user-centric design. These units are well-suited for modern kitchens, offering convenience, versatility, and efficiency that meet the needs of busy households.

One of the standout features of the R-930 series is the powerful Inverter Technology. Unlike traditional microwaves that rely on pulsing power to cook food at lower settings, Inverter Technology delivers a steady stream of cooking power. This results in more even heating, improved texture, and better overall cooking results for delicate dishes like custards and sauces.

The spacious interior of these models provides ample room for cooking a variety of dishes simultaneously. The R-930 series is designed with a turntable that ensures uniform cooking by rotating food as it heats. Additionally, these microwaves often come with a variety of pre-programmed settings for popular dishes, making it easier for users to prepare meals with minimal effort. These presets take the guesswork out of cooking and help ensure consistent results every time.

The R-930AK and R-930AW models are particularly noted for their sleek and modern aesthetic, available in stylish black and white exteriors, respectively. Both models also feature user-friendly controls, which include a digital display and intuitive buttons, ensuring that even those new to microwave cooking can navigate settings with ease.

Another characteristic that distinguishes the R-930CS is its advanced sensor cooking technology. This feature monitors the cooking process and automatically adjusts power levels and cooking times to achieve optimal results. This takes the hassle out of determining how long to cook various foods, especially those that require specific attention to avoid overcooking or undercooking.

The Sharp R-930 series also emphasizes safety and convenience. Child safety locks are integrated into the design to prevent unauthorized use, making it a practical choice for families with young children. Moreover, the easy-clean interior ensures that spills and splatters can be quickly wiped away, maintaining hygiene and preserving the appliance's appearance.

In summary, the Sharp R-930AK, R-930AW, and R-930CS models are proficient microwave ovens equipped with innovative technologies and thoughtful features that cater to a variety of cooking needs. With their combination of inverter cooking technology, spacious interiors, sleek designs, and user-friendly controls, these models are ideal choices for anyone looking to enhance their culinary capabilities in a fast-paced world.
