Check the connections on the cavity overheat thermostat and IO board X513.
Check the continuity of magnetron overheat thermostat.
Check magnetron overheat thermostat LED16 on the IO board.
The magnetron overheat thermostat should automatically reset once it has cooled
down.
A magnetron overheat is typically caused by a lack of cooling. Check the board
temperatures in the event log to determine the cabinet air temperature at the time
of the failure.
Check the magnetron cooling fins (heat sink) are clean and free from dust, debris
and grease build up, clean as required.
Sufficient cooling is required, please ensure all panels are fitted correctly and do not
have any cooling leakages from around the panel work.
Check the cooling fan operation.
Check / clean the air filter.
Check the air curtain at the front of the unit for sufficient cooling.
NOTE: If the magnetrons are tested without the ovens panels in place, which is NOT
RECOMMENDED, the lack of air flow will cause the magnetron(s) to overheat and
cause the magnetron overheat thermostat(s) to open circuit. The panels are
designed to guide the cooling air sufficiently through the cooling fins in a forced
airflow manner.
