1. Amp = 0. High-voltage transformer not energizing.

 

Check K2 relay and wiring going to suspect high-voltage transformer.

 

† K2 relay or wiring bad: Replace K2 relay and/or repair wiring.

 

† K2 relay OK: Check high-voltage transformer. See the table on page

 

33 for resistance values. Unplug the oven and replace high-voltage

 

transformer if defective.

the probes are held on the capacitor. If the resistance is low (less than the

 

megohm range), unplug the oven and replace the capacitor. Visually check

 

the associated high-voltage transformer primary winding for signs of over-

 

heating (winding is very dark and discolored). If transformer primary

 

winding looks bad, replace it.

page 33 to determine if the transformer is OK. If the resistance is

 

different then the table indicates, ensure the oven is unplugged and

 

replace the transformer.
