Electrolux EI24MO45IBA, Technical & Service Manual

Basic Information

1-5

Before Servicing

1.   Disconnect the power supply cord, and then  remove   
 outer 

case.

2.   Open the door and block it open.

3.   Discharge high voltage capacitor.

Whenever troubleshooting is performed, the power 
supply must be disconnected.  It may, in some cases, be 
necessary to connect the power supply after the outer 
case has been removed, in this event:

1.   Disconnect the oven power supply cord and then  

remove the outer case.

2.   Open the door and block it open.

3.   Discharge high voltage capacitor.

4.   Disconnect leads to the primary of the inverter unit.

5.   Ensure that these leads remain isolated from other    
 

components and oven chassis by using insulation  

 tape.

6.   After that procedure, reconnect the power supply  

 cord.

When Testing Is Completed

1.   Disconnect the power supply cord, and then remove  
 outer 

case.

2.   Open the door and block it open.

3.   Discharge high voltage capacitor.

4.   Reconnect leads to the primary of the inverter unit.

5.   Reinstall the outer case (cabinet).

6.   Reconnect the power supply cord after the outer  

case is installed.

7.   Run the oven and check all functions.

After repairing

1.   Reconnect all leads removed from components  

 during 

testing.

2.   Reinstall the outer case (cabinet).

3.   Reconnect the power supply cord after the outer  

case is installed.

4.   Run the oven and check all functions.
 

Microwave ovens should not be run empty.  To test    

for the presence of microwave energy within a cavity,  

place a cup of cold water on the oven turntable, close 

the door and set the power to HIGH and then set the 

microwave timer for two (2) minutes.  When the two    

minutes has elapsed (timer at zero) carefully check    

that the water is now hot.  If the water remains cold    

carry out Before Servicing procedure and re-examine

the connections to the component being tested.

MICROWAVE OVENS CONTAIN CIRCUITRY CAPABLE OF PRODUCING 
VERY HIGH VOLTAGE AND CURRENT.  CONTACT WITH THE 
FOLLOWING PARTS MAY RESULT IN A SEVERE, POSSIBLY FATAL, 
ELECTRICAL SHOCK.

INVERTER UNIT, THAT INCLUDES HIGH VOLTAGE CAPACITOR,
HIGH VOLTAGE POWER TRANSFORMER, HIGH VOLTAGE RECTIFIER, 
HEAT SINK ETC., AND MAGNETRON, HIGH VOLTAGE HARNESS ETC..
READ THE SERVICE MANUAL CAREFULLY AND FOLLOW ALL
INSTRUCTIONS.

Don't Touch !
Danger High Voltage

To discharge the high voltage capacitor, wait for 60 
seconds and then short-circuit the connection of 
the high-voltage capacitor (that is the connecting 
lead of the high-voltage rectifier) against the 
chassis with the use of an insulated screwdriver.
