DOOR SWITCH ADJUSTMENTTools Required: 
•  # 1 Phillips head screw driver 
•  # 2 Phillips head screw driver 
•  3/8” socket wrench (1/4” drive) 
•  Needle nose pliers 
•  Large flat blade screw driver  
GOAL 
The goal of this adjustment procedure is to have the 
Monitor, Secondar y and  Primary switches  close  in 
that order as the  oven door is c losed. The switches 
must  open  in   the  reverse  order  as  the  door  is 
opened, th at is,  the  Primary,  Secondary and  then 
the Monitor open as the door opens. This procedure 
is  written  to  insure  proper  oven  o peration  and 
compliance with Federal regulations. 
ADJUSTMENT 
1)  Remove  the  left and  right  side  access  covers 
(body sides). 
2)  Remove the lower louvered front access  panel. 
3)  Remove  oven top.    It is  secured  in place  with 
four 3/8” Nylock nuts to the upper frame sides. 
4)  Remove  screw  located  on  bottom  of  left side 
corner  trim  (front of  oven)  and  carefully  bend 
the trim  out  of the  way  to allow  access  to left 
side switch assembly and associated  hardware. 
(See Fig. 7-6 a & 7-6b ). 
RIGHT SIDE OF OVEN: 
NOTE:    The  C3/C  and  C3/Cmulti  oven  switch 
arrangement  is  different  from  the  C3/AB  and  the 
C3Multi.    The  C3/AB  and  C3/Multi  monitor  and 
primary switches  are  on the  right-hand side  of  the 
oven and  the secondar y switch  is on  the left-hand 
side of  the  oven.   Regardless  of  their  position on 
the oven,  the proce dure for  adjusting the  switches 
is the same  for both types of  ovens.  See Figure  7-
3.   
5.  Remove  magnetron  plenum  assem bly 
(secured  by  one  PPH  screw  at  rear  of 
oven).  The  plenum assembly is locat ed on 
the bottom right side of the oven.   
6.  On  models  C3/AB  and  C3Multi  it m ay be 
necessary  to  remove  the  35  AMP  circuit 
breaker in  order to  gain access  to the lim it 
switches.   If  this  is  necessary,  label e ach 
wire  prior  to  removing  it  from   the  Circuit 
Breaker in the following step.  
7.  Carefully  pull down two  tabs on  the bottom 
of the  circuit  breaker  and pull  the  breaker 
up  and  out to  remove  it  from  the  din  rail 
allowing  access to  the  switch  brackets  on 
the right side of the oven  
Note:   Refer to  page 7-11,  DOOR  ADJUSTMENT, 
along with  this  section  if the  cam  follower bracket 
assembly has to be adjusted and tightened.  This is 
very important t o prevent any  potential damage 
to  the door  hardware  from  interference and  to 
assure proper door closing tension. 
8.  Check  that  the  trailing  arm  is  properly 
engaged in  cam follower  bracket assembly 
and  trailing  arm  guide block s.   When  the 
door is closed the trailing arms should sit as 
shown.  See Figure 7-6a,b.     
9.  If the  trailing arm is not properly engaged  in 
cam  follower  bracket  assembly  or  if  it  is 
hitting  the  assembly  loos en  the  two  3/8” 
nuts securing the cam follower assembly. 
10. Cam  follower  bracket  assembly  has 
clearance at  the bottom  to m ove.   Pick up 
on trailing  arm  to engage  it  in trailing  arm 
guide  blocks  and  m ove  cam  follower 
bracket  assembly up  into  notch on  trailing 
arm.   See Figure 7-4.   Tighten the two 3/8” 
nuts when adjustment is correct.   
11. When  properly  aligned,  the  door  should 
have  no  play  when pus hed in  the  closed 
position  and  when  opened  the  first 
movement of  the trailing  arm should  be up 
and  over  the  cam  follo wer  bracket 
assembly  (both  sides  of the  oven)  –  See 
Fig.7-4.    Additionally,  when  the  door  is 
closed,  the  trailing  arms  should  “snap” 
down into position.   To test this, gentle  pick 
up one of the trailing  arms approximately ¾ 
inch and release it.   The trailing arm should 
“snap” bac k down  in  to the  same  position 
each time.   If it hangs or  does not return  to 
the  exact  position  each  time  readjust  the 
cam roller assembly.    
12. If  it  is determ ine that  a  proper adjustment 
can not  be  made,  it may  be  necessary  to 
reposition the bottom hinge on the door.  To 
do this, loosen  item 11  (see Figure 7-6)  on 
both  sides  of  the  oven.    With  all  screws 
loose, close the door and push  in and down 
on  the  door.    While  doing  so,  tighten  all 
screws on  the hinge.   Now repeat  steps 7-
10.
