c) Only one indicator does not light.
d) The corresponding segments of all digits do not light up; or they continue to light up.
e) Wrong figure appears.
f) A certain group of indicators do not light up.
g) The figure of all digits flicker.
2-3 Other possible problems caused by defective control unit.
a) Buzzer does not sound or continues to sound.
b) Cooking is not possible.
CONTROL PANEL ASSEMBLY TEST FOR R-23AM / R-22AM
The control panel consists of circuits including semiconductors such as LSI etc. Therefore, unlike
conventional microwave ovens, proper maintenance cannot be performed with only a voltmeter and
ohmmeter. In this service manual, the touch control panel assembly is divided into three units, Control
Unit, Switch Unit and Encoder Unit troubleshooting by unit replacement is described according to the
symptoms indicated.
1. Switch Unit Note : Check the lead wire harness connections among big and small switch units
and control unit before replacement.
The following symptoms indicate a defective switch unit. Replace the switch unit.
a) When touching the buttons, a certain button produces no signal at all.
b) When touching the buttons, sometimes a button produces no signal.
2. Encoder Note : Check the lead wire connection between encoder and control unit before
replacement.
The following symptoms indicate a defective encoder. Replace the encoder.
a) When rotating the encoder, the cooking time can not be entered.
3. Control Unit
The following symptoms may indicate a defective control unit. Replacing the control unit. Before
replacing the control unit, perform the switch unit test (Procedure P) to determine if control unit is
faulty.
3-1 Programming problems.
a) When touching the buttons, a certain group of buttons do not produce a signal.
3-2 Display problems.
a) For a certain digit, all or some segments do not light up.
b) For a certain digit, brightness is low.
c) Only one indicator does not light.
d) The corresponding segments of all digits do not light up; or they continue to light up.
e) Wrong figure appears.
f) A certain group of indicators do not light up.
g) The figure of all digits flicker.
3-3 Other possible problems caused by defective control unit.
a) Buzzer does not sound or continues to sound.
b) Cooking is not possible.
CARRY OUT 3D CHECKS.
If the display fails to clear when the STOP/CLEAR pad is depressed, first verify the flat ribbon cable is
making good contact, verify that the door sensing switch (stop switch ) operates properly; that is the
contacts are closed when the door is closed and open when the door is open. If the door sensing switch
(stop switch ) is good, disconnect the flat ribbon cable that connects the key unit to the control unit and
make sure the door sensing switch is closed (either close the door or short the stop switch connector
). Use the key unit matrix indicated on the control panel schematic and place a jumper wire between
the pins that correspond to the STOP/CLEAR pad making momentary contact. If the control unit
responds by clearing with a beep, the key unit is faulty and must be replaced. If the control unit does
not respond, it is faulty and must be replaced. If a specific pad does not respond, the above method
may be used (after clearing the control unit ) to determine if the control unit or key pad is at fault.
