TOUCH CONTROL PANEL ASSEMBLY TEST
The touch control panel consists of circuits including semiconductors such as LSI, ICs, 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 two units, Control Unit
and Key Unit, and also the control unit is divided into two units, CPU Unit and Power Unit, and
troubleshooting by unit replacement is described according to the symptoms indicated.

troubleshooting by unit replacement is described according to the symptoms indicated.
1. Key Unit
The following symptoms indicate a defective key unit. Replace the key unit.
a) When touching the pads, a certain pad produces no signal at all.
b) When touching a number pad, two figures or more are displayed.
c) When touching the pads, sometimes a pad produces no signal.
a) When touching the pads, a certain pad produces no signal at all.
b) When touching a number pad, two figures or more are displayed.
c) When touching the pads, sometimes a pad produces no signal.
2. Control Unit
The following symptoms indicate a defective control unit. Replacing the control unit.
2-1 In connection with pads.
a) When touching the pads, a certain group of pads do not produce a signal.
b) When touching the pads, no pads produce a signal.
b) When touching the pads, no pads produce a signal.
2-2 In connection with indicators
a) At a certain digit, all or some segments do not light up.
b) At 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.
b) At 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.
2-3 Other possible problems caused by defective control unit.

KEY UNIT TEST
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 door sensing switch connecter). Use the Key unit matrix indicated on 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 a 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.
