The door can be opened by pulling the door handle. When
the handle is pulled, the latch head is pulled, the latch head
is moved upward, and released from the latch hook now
the door can be opened.

1. When the oven door is closed, the contacts (COM-NO)

of the switch must be closed. And the contacts (COM-
NC) must be opened.

2. When the oven door is opened, the contacts (COM-

NO) of the switch must be opened. And the contacts
(COM-NC) must be closed.

1. When the oven door is closed, the contacts (COM-NO)

of the switch must be closed.

2. When the oven door is opened, the contacts (COM-

NO) of switch must be opened.

The monitor switch is activated (the contacts opened) by the
upper latch head on the door while the door is closed. The
switch is intended to render the oven inoperative by means
of blowing the fuse F8A when the contacts of the monitored
latch switch fail to open when the door is opened.
Function
1. When the door is opened, the contacts (COM-NC) of

monitor switch  close (to the ON condition) due to their
being normally closed and contacts (COM-NO) open.
At this time the contacts (COM-NO) of monitored latch
switch is in the OFF condition (contacts open) due to
their being normally open contact switches.

2. As the door goes to a closed position, the monitor

switch SW3 contacts (COM-NC) are opened and con-
tacts (COM-NO) closed and then contacts (COM-NO)
of monitored latch switch and stop switch are closed.(On
opening the door, each of these switches operate
inversely.)

3. If the door is opened and the monitored latch switch

contacts  (COM-NO) fail to open, the fuse F8A blows
immediately after closing of the monitor switch (COM-
NC) contacts.

CAUTION: BEFORE REPLACING A BLOWN FUSE F8A,

TEST THE MONITORED LATCH SWITCH
AND  MONITOR SWITCH FOR PROPER
OPERATION.  (REFER TO CHAPTER “TEST
PROCEDURE”).

If the wire harness or electrical components are short-
circuited, this fuse blows to prevent an electric shock of fire
hazard.

1. If the wire harness or electrical components are short-

circuited, this fuse blows to prevent an electric shock or
fire hazard.

2. The fuse also blows when the monitored latch switch

remains closed with the oven door open and when the
monitor switch contact (COM-NC) closes.

3. The fuse also blows when the asymmetric rectifier,

H.V. rectifier,H.V. wire harness, H.V. capacitor,
magnetron or secondary winding of high voltage trans-
former is shorted.

T/C transformer converts A.C. line voltage into low voltage
to drive the control unit.

This thermal cut-out protects the magnetron against over-
heat. If the temperature goes up higher than 125˚C be-
cause the fan motor is interrupted or the ventilation open-
ings are blocked, the thermal cut-out will open and line
voltage to the high voltage transformer will cut off and
operation of the magnetron will be stopped. The defec-
tive thermal cut-out must be replaced with a new one.

This thermal cut-out protects the oven against the over-
heat during grill cooking, oven cooking or dual (combina-
tion) cooking. If the temperature rises above 145˚C be-
cause the fan motor is interrupted, the air inlet duct is
blocked or the ventilation openings are obstructed, the
thermal cut-out opens and switches off all the electrical
parts. When the cools itself down to the operating tem-
perature of 115˚C, the contacts of the thermal cut-out will
close again.

The asymmetric rectifier is solid state device that prevents
current flow is both directions. And it prevents the tem-
perature rise of the high voltage transformer by blowing
the fuseF8A when the high voltage rectifier is shorted.

The rated peak reverse voltage of D1 of the asymmetric
rectifier is 6 KV. The rated peak reverse voltage of D2 of
the asymmetric rectifier is 1.7 KV. D1 and D2 of the

asymmetric rectifier or high voltage rectifier are shorted
when the each peak reverse voltage goes beyond the
each rated peak reverse voltage. (The process of the
blowing the fuseF8A.)

the selected temperature.
When the oven cooking time reaches “0”, the heating
elements are de-energized and the oven shuts off. At that
time if the cavity air temperature has rised above120˚C,
the fan motor remains rotating. Automatically the fan
motor will be shut down at low temperature (less than
105˚C).

The oven will stop its operation when there is a fire in the
oven cavity in microwave cooking condition.
LSI measures the voltage across the temperature meas-
urement circuit intermittently within 32-seconds time base
since the oven is started in microwave cooking condition.
The oven will stop its operation when the difference of the
voltage is more than 0.781 volts in microwave cooking
condition.
1. Within a 32-seconds base, the thermistor is energized

for 2 seconds.  At that time, the voltage across the
temperature measurement circuit is measured.

2. The oven carries out the procedure above again. If the

second voltage is 0.781V higher than first voltage, LSI
judges it  is a fire in the oven cavity and stop the oven.

3. When LSI judges it  is a fire in the oven cavity, LSI will

switch off the relays to high voltage transformer and fan
motor and LSI stops countring down.

1. If the temperature of the thermistor does not rise to

more than 40˚C after 4 minutes and 15 seconds from
when the oven is started in oven cooking mode, dual
cooking mode or grill (top and bottom) cooking mode,
the oven is turned off.

2. When the thermistor or the wire harness to the thermis-

tor is opened, the oven is turned off after 4 minutes and
15 seconds because this condition is same as above.

1. The high voltage rectifier is shorted by some fault when

microwave cooking or dual cooking.

2. The peak reverse voltage of D2 of the rectifier goes

beyond the rated peak reverse voltage 1.7 KV in the
voltage doubler circuit.

3. D2 of the rectifier is shorted.
4. The large electric currents flow through the high volt-

age winding of the high voltage transformer.

5. The large electric currents beyond 8A flow through the

primary winding of the high voltage transformer.

6. The fuse F8A blows by the large electric currents.
7. The power supplying to the high voltage transformer is

cut off.

The noise filter assembly prevents radio frequency inter-
ference that might flow back in the power circuit.

The turntable motor rotates the turntable.

The fan motor drives a blade which draws external cool air.
This cool air is directed through the air vanes surrounding
the magnetron and cools the magnetron. This air is chan-
nelled through the oven cavity to remove steam and
vapours given off from heating food. It is then exhausted
through the exhausting air vents of the oven cavity.

The grill heating element is provided to brown the food and
is located on the top of the oven cavity.

The grill heating element is provided to brown the food and
is located at the base of the oven cavity.

Food is cooked by the top and bottom heating elements.
And the temperature of the oven cavity can be controlled
by the thermistor circuit. When the temperature inside the
oven cavity reaches the selected temperature, the heating
elements are de-energized. When the temperature inside
the oven cavity drops below the selected temperature, the
heating elements are energized again. In this way, the
inside of the oven cavity is maintained at approximately

When troubleshooting the microwave oven, it is helpful to follow the Sequence of Operation in performing the checks.
Many of the possible causes of trouble will require that a specific test be performed. These tests are given a procedure
letter which will be found in the “Test Procedure” section.

IMPORTANT: If the oven becomes inoperative because of a blown fuse (F8A) in the monitored latch switch - monitor

switch circuit, check the monitored latch switch and monitor switch before replacing the fuse (F8A).
