Service and repair guide
The front panel houses the touch screen and the QTS assembly.
The SRB controls all electrical oven components.
A stirrer motor turns a stirrer distributing microwave energy in the cavity.
The diode completes the magnetron circuit for required high voltage.
The thermostat continuously measures the temperature in the cavity and
prevents it from overheating. A reset button is found on the thermostat rear
which is accessible through the rear panel (see Item 22).
Cavity temperature sensor wire
(thermocouple)
The sensor wire extends between the thermostat and the interior of the cavity.
The cavity (cooking chamber) for cooking food can be accessed by opening
the oven door.
The microswitches are connected to the door hinges and switch off the
magnetron(s) when the oven door is opened.
The cooling fan pulls air through the air filter into the interior of the casing in
order to cool the electrical components.
Convection (hot air) fan motor
speed controller
This component controls the speed of the convection fan motor depending on
specific oven settings.
Transformer (low voltage)
The low voltage transformer feeds the SRB.
The capacitor completes the magnetron circuit for required high voltage.
A magnetron generates microwaves.
The cooling duct leads heat generated by the magnetron(s) to the rear of the
oven.
Used by the cavity thermostat to detect overheating.
The exhaust pipe leads excessive steam from the cavity to the cooling duct
and the rear air outlet of the oven.
Convection (hot air) fan motor
The convection fan motor is controlled by the speed controller and drives the
convection fan.
Transformer (high voltage)
A high voltage transformer feeds a magnetron.
Electromagnetic Compatibility
(EMC) Filter and Fuses
EMC filters reduce the transfer of electromagnetic noise. The fuses protect the
oven from high voltages and currents.
Equipotential bonding connection
(CE appliances only)
This is an electrical connection that ensures that the frames of electrical
equipment and any external conductive components are at an equal (or
practically equal) potential.
Cavity thermostat reset button
Press to reset a cavity overheat.
Allows air to flow from the magnetron.
Exhaust outlet protection
Prevents touching the hot steam outlet.
