TROUBLESHOOTING GUIDE
Never touch any part in the circuit with your hand or an uninsulated tool while the power supply is connected.
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 monitor fuse, check the monitor switch, relay (RY1)
primary interlock relay (RY2), door sensing switch and secondary interlock switch before replacing the
monitor fuse. If monitor fuse is replaced, the monitor switch must also be replaced. Use part FFS-
BA021WRK0 as an assembly.
IMPORTANT: Whenever troubleshooting is performed with the power supply cord disconnected. It may in, some cases,
be necessary to connect the power supply cord after the outer case has been removed, in this event,
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. Disconnect the leads to the primary of the power transformer.
5. Ensure that the leads remain isolated from other components and oven chassis by using insulation tape.
6. After that procedure, reconnect the power supply cord.
When the 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 the leads to the primary of the power transformer.
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.
H
BLOWN MONITOR FUSE TEST
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. If the monitor fuse is blown when the door is opened, check the primary interlock relay, secondary
interlock switch and monitor switch according to the "TEST PROCEDURE" for those switches before
replacing the blown monitor fuse.
CAUTION: BEFORE REPLACING A BLOWN MONITOR FUSE, TEST THE PRIMARY INTERLOCK
RELAY, SECONDARY INTERLOCK SWITCH, DOOR SENSING SWITCH AND MONITOR
SWITCH FOR PROPER OPERATION.
If the monitor fuse is blown by improper switch operation, the monitor fuse and monitor switch must
be replaced with "monitor fuse and monitor switch assembly" part number FFS-BA021WRK0, even
if the monitor switch operates normally. The monitor fuse and monitor switch assembly is comprised
of a 20 ampere fuse and switch.
5. Reconnect all leads removed from components during testing.
6. Reinstall the outer case (cabinet).
7. Reconnect the power supply cord after the outer case is installed.
8. Run the oven and check all functions.
1. Disconnect the power supply cord, and then remove outer case.
2. Open the door and block it open.
3. Discharge high voltage capacitor.
