TROUBLESHOOTING GUIDE 

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 C/T fuse, check the monitor switch,  relay (RY1), door 

sensing switch and primary interlock switch before replacing the C/T fuse. If C/T fuse is replaced, the mintor 

switch must also be replaced at the same time. Use part FFS-BA019/KIT as an assembly.

CONVECTION COOKING SYSTEM

This oven is designed with a hot air heating system where 

food is not directly heated by the heating element, but is 

heated by forced circulation of the hot air produced by the 

heating element.

The air heated by the heating element is circulated through 

the convection passage provided on the outer casing of the 

oven cavity by means of the convection fan which is driven 

by  the  convection  motor.  It  then  enters  the  inside  of  the 

oven through the vent holes provided on the left side of the 

oven. Next, the hot air heats the food on the turntable and 

leaves the oven cavity through the vent in the center of the 

oven cavity left side wall.

Without  leaving  the  oven,  this  hot  air  is  reheated  by  the 

heating element, passes through the convection passage 

and enters the inside of the oven cavity again, in a continu-

ing cycle.

In this way, the hot air circulates inside the oven cavity to 

raise  its  temperature  and,  at  the  same  time,  comes  into 

contact with the food being cooked.

When the temperature inside the oven cavity reaches the 

selected temperature, the heating element is de-energized. 

When the temperature inside the oven cavity drops below 

the selected temperature, the heating element is energized 

again. In this way, the inside of the oven cavity is maintained 

at approximately the selected temperature.

When the convection time reaches 0, the heating element 

is de-energized and the convection fan stops operating and 

the oven shuts off.

DAMPER OPEN-CLOSE MECHANISM

Usually, the damper is in the open position except during 

convection cooking. Damper position is set automatically 

by damper motor, damper switch, motor cam and damper 

shaft.  These  components  are  operated  by  a  signal  that 

judges if microwave cooking or convection cooking opera-

tion is selected by the control unit.

Microwave Cooking:

Damper is in the open position, because a portion of cooling 

air is channelled through the cavity to remove steam and 

vapors given off from the heating foods.

It  is  then  exhausted  at  the  top  of  the  oven  cavity  into  a 

condensation compartment.

Convection Cooking:

Damper is in the closed position, so that no hot air will be 

allowed to leak out the oven cavity.

Damper Operation

1.  When power supply cord is plugged in:

1-1. When power supply cord is plugged in, a signal is 

sensed  in  the  control  unit,  and  operates  shut-off 

relay (RY4).

1-2. Contacts of shut-off relay (RY4) close, the damper 

motor is energized, opening the damper door.

1-3. When the damper is moved to the open position by 

the damper cam the damper switch is closed (ON 

position).

1-4. The signal from damper switch is re-sensed in the 

control unit and shut-off relay (RY4) is turned off.

1-5. The 120  volts A.C. to the damper motor is removed 

and the motor turns off.

2.  When oven is microwave cooking:

  Damper is in the open position.

3.  When oven is convection cooking:

3-1. Damper  motor  is  energized  by  touching  the 

convection, temperature and START pads.

3-2. When  damper  is  in  the  closed  position  (damper 

switch is OFF), its signal is sensed by the control 

unit, and shut-off relay (RY4) is de-energized.

3-3. The damper is held in the closed position during the 

convection cooking operation.

3-4. At the end of the convection cooking, shut-off relay 

(RY4) is energized, and the damper is returned to 

DAMPER DUCT
