SERVICING

1. Precautions for Handling Electronic Components

This unit uses CMOS LSI in the integral part of the
circuits. When handling these parts, the following
precautions should be strictly followed. CMOS LSI have
extremely high impedance at its input and output
terminals. For this reason, it is easily influenced by the
surrounding high voltage power source, static electricity
charge in clothes, etc., and sometimes it is not fully
protected by the built-in protection circuit.
In order to protect CMOS LSI.
1) When storing and transporting, thoroughly wrap them

in aluminium foil. Also wrap all PW boards containing
them in aluminium foil.

2) When soldering, ground the technician as shown in

the figure and use grounded soldering iron and work
table.

3. Servicing of Touch Control Panel

We describe the procedures to permit servicing of the
touch control panel of the microwave oven and the
precautions you must take when doing so. To perform
the servicing, power to the touch control panel is available
either from the power line of the oven itself or from an
external power source.

(1) Servicing the touch control panel with power supply

of the oven:
CAUTION:
THE HIGH VOLTAGE TRANSFORMER OF THE
MICROWAVE OVEN IS STILL LIVE DURING
SERVICING PRESENTS A HAZARD.
Therefore, when checking the performance of the touch
control panel, put the outer cabinet on the oven to avoid
touching the high voltage transformer, or unplug the
primary terminal (connector) of the high voltage
transformer to turn it off; the end of such connector must
be insulated with an insulating tape. After servicing, be
sure to replace the leads to their original locations.
A. On some models, the power supply cord between the

touch control panel and the oven itself is so short that
the two can't be separated. For those models, check
and repair all the controls (sensor-related ones
included) of the touch control panel while keeping it
connected to the oven.

B. On some models, the power supply cord between the

touch control panel and the oven proper is long
enough that they may be separated from each other.
For those models, therefore, it is possible to check
and repair the controls of the touch control panel
while keeping it apart from the oven proper; in this
case you must short both ends of the door sensing
switch (on PWB) of the touch control panel with a
jumper, which brings about an operational state that
is equivalent to the oven door being closed. As for the
sensor-related controls of the touch control panel,
checking them is possible if dummy resistor(s) with
resistance equal to that of the controls are used.

(2) Servicing the touch control panel with power supply

from an external power source:
Disconnect the touch control panel completely from the
oven proper, and short both ends of the door sensing
switch (on PWB) of the touch control panel, which
brings about an operational state that is equivalent to
the oven door being closed. Connect an external power
source to the power input terminal of the touch control
panel, then it is possible to check and repair the controls
of the touch control panel it is also possible to check the
sensor-related controls of the touch control panel by
using the dummy resistor(s).

4. Servicing Tools

Tools required to service the touch control panel
assembly.
1) Soldering iron: 30W
(It is recommended to use a soldering iron with a

grounding terminal.)

2) Oscilloscope: Single beam, frequency range: DC-

10MHz type or more advanced model.

3) Others: Hand tools

5. Other Precautions

1) Before turning on the power source of the control

unit, remove the aluminium foil applied for preventing
static electricity.

2) Connect the connector of the key unit to the control

unit being sure that the lead wires are not twisted.

3) After aluminium foil is removed, be careful that
