TEST PROCEDURES
PROCEDURE
LETTER
COMPONENT TEST
Disconnect the oven from power supply.
Before performing this test, make sure that the primary interlock switch and the secondary interlock
relay are operating properly, according to the above Test Procedures. Disconnect the wire lead from
the monitor switch (NC) terminal. Check the monitor switch operation by using the ohmmeter as follows.
When the door is open, the meter should indicate a closed circuit. When the monitor switch actuator
is pushed by a screw driver through the lower latch hole on the front plate of the oven cavity with the
door opened (in this condition the plunger of the monitor switch is pushed in), the meter should indicate
an open circuit. If improper operation is indicated, the switch may be defective. After testing the monitor
switch, re-connect the wire lead to the monitor switch (NC) terminal and check for continuity of monitor
circuit.

Disconnect the leads from the terminals of the thermal cut-out. Then using an ohmmeter, make a
continuity test across the two terminals as described in the below.

(On the cavity top plate front)
This is not resettable type Above 145˚C Closed circuit
Oven Thermal cut-out 125˚C
(On the exhaust duct)
This is not resettable type Above 125˚C Closed circuit

Table: Thermal Cut-out Test
If incorrect readings are obtained, replace the thermal cut-out.
An open circuit thermal cut-out (MG) indicates that the magnetron has overheated, this may be due
to redistricted ventilation, cooling fan failure.
An open circuit thermal cut-out (Grill ) indicates that the oven cavity has overheated, this may be due
to oven thermistor failure.
An open circuit thermal cut-out (Top convection) indicates that the top convection duct has overheated,
this may be due to top convection motor failure or top convection thermistor.
An open circuit thermal cut-out (Rear convection) indicates that the rear convection duct has overheated,
this may be due to rear convection motor failure or oven thermistor.
An open circuit thermal cut-out (Oven) indicates that the oven cavity has overheated, this may be due
to ignition in the cooking chamber.
