CHAPTER 7. TROUBLESHOOTING GUIDE
[1] FOREWORD
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 Pro-
cedure”section.
IMPORTANT:
If the oven becomes inoperative because of a blown fuse F10A in the
upper latch switch - lower latch switch - monitor switch circuit, check
the upper latch switch, lower latch switch and monitor switch before
replacing the fuse F10A.
