4.34 Protective Diode (V6) Test
A Removing the Microwave Oven from a Housing Unit, 001 4.4.
A Cover Removal, 001 4.5.
x
Danger!
For safety reasons, it is important to ensure that the high-voltage capacitor is
discharged by always short-circuiting it before starting any maintenance or
repair work. See .
A Disconnect both protective diode connections.
A Use an isolation tester (in accordance with IEC 6557-2) with at least 500V
measuring voltage to measure the resistance between the two connections in
both directions.
A The resistance must be infinite in both directions.

Danger!
In order to ensure that no microwave energy can escape after any repair work
has been completed, the microwave oven must be thoroughly checked for
microwave leaks using a suitable microwave leak detector (mat. no. 05595470).
Particular care should be taken around the door and the casing edges.
The maximum permissible value is 5mW/cm

(32.3mW per square inch),
measured at a distance of 5cm (2 inches) from the oven with a water load of

A Cover Removal, 001 4.5.
x
Danger!
For safety reasons, it is important to ensure that the high-voltage capacitor is
discharged by always short-circuiting it before starting any maintenance or
repair work. See .
A Disconnect both magnetron connections.
A Use an ohmmeter (in accordance with IEC 61010-1) to measure the
resistance between the two magnetron terminals (heater filament). The
ohmmeter must be able to measure in the mΩ range.
A The measured resistance must be < 1Ω.
