controls (sensor-related ones included) of the touch
control panel while keeping it  connected to the oven.

 On some models, the power supply cord between the

touch control panel and the oven proper is so long
enough that they may be separated from each other.
For those models, therefore, it is possible to check
and repair the controls of the touch control panel
while keeping it apart from the oven proper; in this
case you must short both ends of the door sensing
switch (on PWB) of the touch control panel with a
jumper, which brings about an operational state that
is equivalent to the oven door being closed. As for
the sensor-related controls of the touch control panel,
checking them is possible if the dummy resistor(s)
with resistance equal to that of the controls are used.

Disconnect the touch control panel completely from
the oven proper, and short both ends of the door
sensing switch (on PWB) of the touch control panel,
which brings about an operational state that is equivalent
to the oven door being closed. Connect an external
power source to the power input terminal of the touch
control panel, then it is possible to check and repair the
controls of the touch control panel; it is also possible to
check the sensor-related controls of the touch control
panel by using the dummy resistor(s).

Tools required to service the touch control panel assembly.
1) Soldering iron: 30W

(It is recommended to use a soldering iron with a
grounding terminal.)

2) Oscilloscope: Single beam, frequency range: DC -

10MHz type or more advanced model.

3) Others: Hand tools

1) Before turning on the power source of the control unit,

remove the aluminium foil applied for preventing static
electricity.

2) Connect the connector of the key unit to the control unit

being sure that the lead wires are not twisted.

3) After aluminium foil is removed, be careful that abnormal

voltage due to static electricity etc. is not applied to the
input or output terminals.

4) Attach connectors, electrolytic capacitors, etc. to PWB,

making sure that all connections are tight.

5) Be sure to use specified components where high

precision is required.

This unit uses CMOS LSI in the integral part of the
circuits. When handling these parts, the following
precautions should be strictly followed. CMOS LSI
have extremely high impedance at its input and
output terminals. For this reason, it is easily influenced
by the surrounding high voltage power source, static
electricity charge in clothes, etc., and sometimes it
is not fully protected by the built-in protection circuit.
In order to protect CMOS LSI.
1) When storing and transporting, thoroughly wrap

them in aluminium foil. Also wrap PW boards
containing them in aluminium foil.

2) When soldering, ground the technician as shown

in the figure and use grounded soldering iron
and work table.

We describe the procedures to permit servicing of
the touch control panel of the microwave oven and
the precautions you must take when doing so.
To perform the servicing, power to the touch control
panel is available either from the power line of the
oven itself or from an external power source.

Therefore, when checking the performance of
the touch control panel, put the outer cabinet on
the oven to avoid touching the high voltage
transformer, or unplug the primary terminal
(connector) of the high voltage transformer to
turn it off; the end of such connector must be
insulated with an insulating tape. After servicing,
be sure to replace the leads to their original
locations.

 On some models, the power supply cord

between the touch control panel and the oven
itself is so short that the two can't be separated.

For those models, check and repair all the
