If incorrect readings are obtained, replace the thermal cut-out.

An open circuit thermal cut-out (MG) indicates that the magnetron has overheated, this may be due to
resistricted ventilation, cooling fan failure.

An open circuit thermal cut-out (OVEN) indicates that the oven cavity has overheated, this may be due
to no load operation.

CARRY OUT 3D CHECKS.

Disconnect the leads from the terminals of noise filter.
Using an ohmmeter, check between the terminals as
described in the following table.

CARRY OUT 3D CHECKS.

If the fuse15A is blown, there is a shorts or grounds in electrical parts or wire harness. Check them and
replace the defective parts or repair the wire harness.

CARRY OUT 3D CHECKS.

1. If the fuse F8A  is blown when the door is opened, check the monitored latch switch and monitor

switch.

2. If the fuse F8A is blown by incorrect door switching replace the defective switch(es) and the  fuse

F8A.

3. If the fuse F8A is blown, there could be shorts in the asymmetric rectifier or there is a ground in wire

harness. A short in the asymmetric rectifier may be occurred due to short or ground in H.V. rectifier,
magnetron, high voltage transformer or H.V. wire. Check them and replace the defective parts or
repair the wire harness.

Before carrying out the following tests make sure the heating element is cool completely.

1. Resistance of heating element.

Disconnect the wire leads to the heating element to be tested.  Using ohmmeter with low resistance
range. Check the resistance across the terminals of the heating element as described in the
following table.

Table: Resistance of heating element

Approximately 61 

Ω

Bottom heating element

Approximately 115

2. Insulation resistance.

Disconnect the wire leads to the heating element to be tested. Check the insulation resistance
between the element terminal and cavity using a 500V - 100M

Ω

 insulation tester.  The insulation

resistance should be more than 10 M

Ω

 in the cold start.

If the results of above test 1 and/or 2 are out of above specifications, the heating element is probably
faulty and should be replaced.

2-1  In connection with pads

a) When touching the pads, a certain group of pads do not produce a signal.
b) When touching the pads, no pads produce a signal.

2-2  In connection with indicators

a) At a certain digit, all or some segments do not light up.
b) At a certain digit, brightness is low.
c) Only one indicator does not light up.
d) The corresponding segments of all digits do not light up; or they continue to light up.
e) Wrong figure appears.
f) A certain group of indicators do not light up.
g) The figure of all digits flicker.

2-3  Other possible troubles caused by defective control unit.

a) Buzzer does not sound or continues to sound.
b) Clock does not operate properly.
c) Cooking is not possible.
d) Proper temperature measurement is not obtained.

If the display fails to clear when the STOP/CLEAR pad is depressed, first verify the flat ribbon cable
is making good contact, verify that the door sensing switch (stop switch) operates properly; that is the
contacts are closed when the door is closed and open when the door is open. If the door sensing switch
(stop switch) is good, disconnect the flat ribbon cable that connects the key unit to the control unit and
make sure the door sensing switch is closed (either close the door or short the door sensing switch
connecter). Use the Key unit matrix indicated on the control panel schematic and place a jumper wire
between the pins that correspond to the STOP/CLEAR pad making momentary contact. If the control
unit responds by clearing with a beep the key unit is faulty and must be replaced. If the control unit does
not respond, it is faulty and must be replaced.  If a specific pad does not respond, the above method
may be used (after clearing the control unit) to determine if the control unit or key pad is at fault.

The touch control panel consists of circuits including semiconductors such as LSI,
ICs, etc. Therefore, unlike conventional microwave ovens, proper maintenance
can not be performed with only a voltmeter and ohmmeter.
In this service manual, the touch control panel assembly is divided into two units,
Control Unit and Key Unit, and also the Control unit is divided into two units, CPU
unit and Power unit, and troubleshooting by replacement is described according to
the symptoms indicated.
1.  Key Unit   Note : Check key unit ribbon connection before replacement.
     The following symptoms indicate a defective key unit. Replace the key unit.
     a) When touching the pads, a certain pad produces no signal at all.
    b) When touching a number pad, two figures or more are displayed.
    c) When touching the pads, sometimes a pad produces no signal.
2.

Control Panel

    The following symptoms indicate a defective control unit.Before replacing the

                              control unit perform the key unit test (Procedure N) to determine if control unit is faulty.

To protect the electronic circuits, this model is provided with a fine foil pattern added to the input circuit
on the PWB, this foil pattern acts as a fuse. If the foil pattern is open, follow the troubleshooting guide
given below for repair.

Pattern at "a" and "b" are broken.

*Insert the coil RCILF2003YAZZ between "c" and "d".

(CARRY OUT 3D CHECKS BEFORE REPAIR.)

NOTE: *At the time of these repairs, make a visual

inspection of the varistor for burning dam-
age and examine the transformer with tester
for the presence of layer short circuit (check
primary coil resistance).
If any abnormal condition is detected, re-
place the defective parts.
