TEST PROCEDURES

PROCEDURE

LETTER

COMPONENT TEST

When the AH sensor is defective (open or short), Error will appear in the display after 16 seconds cleaning time.

If ERROR appears check sensor wire connections and/or AH sensor.

NOTE: ERROR will appear if the door is opened or STOP/CLEAR pad is touched during first stage of sensor cooking.

(6)After approximately 16 seconds, microwave energy is produced, and the display should start to count down the remaining cooking time and oven should turn off after water is boiling (bubbling).

If the oven does not turn off, replace the AH sensor or check the control unit, refer to explanation below.

TESTING METHOD FOR AH SENSOR AND/OR CONTROL UNIT

To determine if the sensor is defective, the simplest method is to replace it with a new replacement sensor.

(1)Disconnect oven from power supply and remove outer case.

(2)Discharge the high voltage capacitor.

(3)Remove the AH sensor.

(4)Install the new AH sensor.

(5)Re-install the outer case.

(6)Reconnect the oven to the power supply and check the sensor cook operation proceed as follows: 6-1. Fill approximately 200 milliliters (7.2 oz) of tap water in a 1000 milliliter measuring cup.

6-2. Place the container on the center of tray in the oven cavity.

6-3. Close the door.

6-4. Touch SENSOR COOK pad and number 1 pad.

6-5. Touch Start pad. The control panel is in automatic Sensor operation.

6-6. The display will start to count down the remaining cooking time, and the oven will turn off

automatically after the water is boiling (bubbling).

If new sensor dose not operate properly, the problem is with the control unit.

CHECKING CONTROL UNIT

(1)Disconnect oven from power supply and remove outer case.

(2)Discharge the high voltage capacitor.

(3)Disconnect the wire leads from the cook relay.

(4)Disconnect the sensor connector that is mounted to lower portion of control panel.

(5)Then connect the dummy resistor circuit (see fig.) to the sensor connector of control panel.

(6)Reconnect the oven to the power supply and check the sensor cook operation proceed as follows: 6-1. Touch SENSOR COOK pad and number 1 pad.

6-2. Touch Start pad. The control panel is in the sensor cooking operation.

6-3. After approximately 20 seconds, push plunger of select switch for more than 3 seconds. This

condition is same as judgement by AH sensor.

6-4. After approximately 3 seconds, the display shows " X X . X X " which is the remaining cooking time, and the display count down.

If the above is not the case, the control unit is probably defective. If the above is proper, the AH sensor is probably defective.
