Check for continuity of the switch with a
Multi-meter.

NOTE : If the fuse is blown, check the primary, the secondary, and the monitor

switches, H.V.D. and H.V.C. before replacing the fuse.
If the fuse is blown by improper switch operation replace the defective
switch and the fuse at the same time.
Replace just the fuse if the switches operate normally.

NOTE : Make sure heater is fully cooled when tested.

NOTE : A MICROWAVE ENERGY LEAKAGE TEST MUST ALWAYS BE PERFORMED WHEN THE UNIT IS

SERVICED FOR ANY REASON.
MAKE SURE THE WIRE LEADS ARE CORRECT POSITION.
WHEN REMOVING THE WIRE LEAD FROM THE PARTS, BE SURE TO GRASP THE
CONNECTOR, NOT THE WIRES.

1. Check grounding before checking for other trouble.

2. Be careful of the high voltage circuit.

3. When checking the continuity of the switches or transformer, disconnect one lead wire from these parts and

then check continuity without turning the power source on.

4. Do not touch any part of the circuitry on the control circuit board, since static electric discharge may damage

this control circuit.
Always touch yourself to ground while working on this circuit to discharge any static charge built up in your
body.

5. First operate the microwave oven following the correct operating.

6. If the oven become inoperative because of a fuse, check the primary, the secondary and the monitor switches

before replacing the fuse.

The fuse blows when power
cord is plugged into wall
receptacle.
