CARRY OUT 3D CHECKS.

A. Isolate the high voltage capacitor from the circuit.
B. Continuity check must be carried out with measuring instrument which is set to the highest

resistance range.

C. A normal capacitor shows continuity for a short time (kick) and then a resistance of about 10M

Ω

 after

it has been charged.

D. A short-circuited capacitor shows continuity all the time.
E. An open capacitor constantly shows a resistance about 10 M

Ω

 because of its internal 10M

Ω

resistance.

F. When the internal wire is opened in the high voltage capacitor shows an infinite resistance.
G. The resistance across all the terminals and the chassis must be infinite when the capacitor is  normal.
If incorrect reading are obtained, the high voltage capacitor must be replaced.

CARRY OUT 4R CHECKS.

CARRY OUT 3D CHECKS.
Isolate the switch to be tested and using an ohmmeter check between the terminals as described in the
following table.

CARRY OUT 3D CHECKS.

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.

If incorrect readings are obtained, replace the thermal cut-out.

An open circuit thermal cut-out (HVT) indicates that the high voltage capacitor  has overheated, this may
be due to resistricted ventilation, cooling fan failure or a fault condition within the high voltage capacitor
or HV. circuit.

An open circuit thermal cut-out (OVEN) indicates that the food in the oven cavity may catch fire, this
may be due to over heating produced by improper setting of the cooking timer or failure of the control
panel.

CARRY OUT 3D CHECKS.

If the fuse 15A is blown, there could be a shorts or grounds in electrical parts or wire harness. Check
them and replace the defective parts or repair the wire harness.
