CARRY OUT 3D CHECKS.
Isolate the high voltage rectifier assembly from the HV circuit. The high voltage rectifier  can be tested
using an ohmmeter set to its highest range. Connect the ohmmeter across the terminal B+C of the high
voltage rectifier and note the reading obtained. Reverse the meter leads and note this second reading.
The normal resistance is infinite in one direction and more than 100 k

Ω in the other direction.

CARRY OUT 4R CHECKS.

ASYMMETRIC RECTIFIER TEST

CARRY OUT 3D CHECKS.

Isolate the high voltage rectifier assembly from the HV circuit. The asymmetric rectifier can be tested
using an ohmmeter set to its highest range across the terminals A+B of the asymmetric rectifier and
note the reading obtained. Reverse the meter leads and note this second reading. If an open circuit is
indicated in both directions then the asymmetric rectifier is good. If the asymmetric rectifier is shorted
in either direction, then the asymmetric rectifier is probably faulty and must be replaced with high voltage
rectifier. When the asymmetric rectifier is defective, check whether magnetron, high voltage rectifier,
high voltage wire or filament winding of the high voltage transformer is shorted.

CARRY OUT 4R CHECKS.

NOTE: FOR MEASUREMENT OF THE RESISTANCE OF THE RECTIFIER, THE BATTERIES OF

THE MEASURING INSTRUMENT MUST HAVE A VOLTAGE AT LEAST 6 VOLTS, BECAUSE
OTHERWISE AN INFINITE RESISTANCE MIGHT BE SHOWN IN BOTH DIRECTIONS.

CARRY OUT 3D CHECKS.
Disconnect the leads to the primary winding of the high voltage  transformer. Disconnect the filament
and secondary winding connections from the rest of the HV circuitry. Using an ohmmeter, set on a low
range,  it is possible to check the continuity of all three winding. The following readings should be
obtained:-

a. Primary winding ................................ approximately 1.9 

Ω

b. Secondary winding .......................... approximately 122 

Ω

c. Filament winding .........................................  less than 1 

Ω

If the readings obtained are not stated as above, then the high voltage transformer is probably faulty
and should be replaced.
CARRY OUT 4R CHECKS.

CARRY OUT 3D CHECKS.

A. Isolate the high voltage capacitor from the circuit.
B. Continuity check must be carried out with measuring instrument which is set to the highest

resistance range.

C. A normal capacitor shows continuity for a short time (kick) and then a resistance of about 10M

Ω

after it has been charged.

D. A short-circuited capacitor shows continuity all the time.
E. An open capacitor constantly shows a resistance about 10 M

Ω because of its internal 10MΩ

resistance.

F. When the internal wire is opened in the high voltage capacitor shows an infinite resistance.
G. The resistance across all the terminals and the chassis must be infinite when the capacitor is

normal.

If incorrect reading are obtained, the high voltage capacitor must be replaced.

An open circuit thermal cut-out (MG) indicates that the magnetron has overheated, this may be due to
restricted 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.

If the fuse 20A 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.

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.

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.

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 P) to determine if control unit is faulty.

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 stop switch operates properly; that is the contacts
are closed when the door is closed and open when the door is open. If the stop switch is good,
disconnect the flat ribbon cable that connects the key unit to the control unit and make sure the
stop switch is closed (either close the door or short the stop 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.
