NOTE
Procedure of fuse pattern repairing is as follows:
1. When the fuse pattern (PF2) opens.
(1) Remove the jumper wire (PF1).
(2) Insert the removed jumper wire (PF1) to “(PF2)” position and solder it. If both “PF1” and “PF2” fuse patterns are open, replace DPC.
2. When the fuse pattern (PF4) opens.
(1) Remove the jumper wire (PF3).
(2) Insert the removed jumper wire (PF3) to “(PF4)” position and solder it. If both “PF3” and “PF4” fuse patterns are open, replace DPC.
NOTE:* At the time of these repairs, make visual inspection of the varistor for burning damage and examine the transformer with tester for
the presence of layer short-circuit (check primary coil resistance).
If any abnormal condition is detected, replace the defective parts.
