Troubleshooting

circuit is lethal, reaching up to 5000 volts!

Guidelines

 

 

All tests performed on the components are done with the oven unplugged

 

and the capacitors discharged.

 

The capacitors in this oven utilize a device that will automatically discharge

 

the voltage.

 

W A R N I N G : Always verify the capacitor is discharged before servicing the

 

components.

 

Discharging can be done by unplugging the oven and then short across the

 

red wire on each capacitor to the chassis with an insulated screwdriver.

1. Remove the top and right side covers.

Current Low

2. Enter the test mode. (From the OVEN OFF mode, simultaneously press

 

BACK and ENTER keys, enter the code 9-4-2-8 and press ENTER).

 

3. Place amp meter on the brown (US ovens) or blue (International ovens)

 

"ct" wire for amp reading. Wire is coming from the primary side of the

 

HV transformers and looping through the black plastic current trans-

 

former on the main control board and back to the HV transformers.

 

4. Press and hold the MGTRON soft key on the keypad to energize the

 

magnetrons.

 

5. Observe the amperage on the meter. Typical readings are:

 

† NORTH AMERICA: 12-14 amps at 240VAC/13-16 amps at 208VAC.

 

† INTERNATIONAL: 12-15 amps at 230VAC

 

† BRAZIL: 12-15 amps at 220VAC

 

† JAPAN: 16-17 amps at 200VAC

 

If proper amperage appears but takes longer than 2 complete seconds to

 

appear, call TurboChef Tech support for assistance. If amperage is present

 

but lower than typical readings, perform the troubleshooting steps in the

 

previous pages of this section. If amperage is not present, check the condi-

 

tion of the F3 fuse. Fuse must be a 20-amp fuse and is the right-most of

 

the three fuses on the bottom of the oven.

 

If fuse has failed, replace the fuse after troubleshooting (previous pages of

 

this section). If fuse has not failed, check the incoming (primary side)

 

voltage to the high-voltage transformers.
