CHAPTER 8. 
TEST PROCEDURES
[1] A: MAGNETRON TEST
1. CARRY OUT 3D CHECKS.
2. To test for an open filament, isolate the magnetron from the high voltage circuit. A continuity check across the magnetron filament leads should
indicate less than 1 ohm.
3. To test for a shorted magnetron, connect the ohmmeter leads between the magnetron filament leads and chassis ground. This test should indicate
an infinite resistance. If there is little or no resistance the magnetron is grounded and must be replaced.
4. Reconnect all leads removed from components during testing.
5. Reinstall the outer case (cabinet).
6. Reconnect the power supply cord after the outer case is installed.
7. Run the oven and check all functions.
1. MICROWAVE OUTPUT POWER
The following test procedure should be carried out with the microwave oven in a fully assembled condition (outer case fitted).
The power output of this oven is rated using the method specified by IEC 60705. Full details of how to curry out this procedure can be found in the
Sharp Technical Training notes which is available from Sharp Parts Centre (part number SERV-LITMW01).
The IEC60705 procedure must be carried out using laboratory-type procedures and equipment. 
These requirements make the procedure unsuitable for routine performance checks.
NOTE: The following test method gives an indication of the output power only, it cannot be used to establish the actual/rated output
power. If the true output power is required, then the IEC60705 test method must be used.
Alternative simplified method:
1. Place 2 litres of cold water (between 12
°C and 20°C) in a suitable container.
2. Stir the water and measure the temperature in 
°C. Note temperature as T1.
3. Place the container in the microwave and heat the water for 1 minute and 40 seconds on full power.
4. When the 1 minute and 40 seconds is completed, remove the container and stir the water. Note the water temperature as T2.
5. Calculate the output power using the following formula:
R.F. Power Output = (T2 - T1) x 90.
NOTE: The result from this test should be within the allowance of 2000cc alternative method. (
±15%).
2. MICROWAVE LEAKAGE TEST
This oven should be tested for microwave leakage on completion of any repair or adjustment, following the procedure described in the Sharp Techni-
cal Training notes (part number SERV-LITMW01). The maximum leakage permitted in BS EN 60335-2-25 is 50W/m
2
 (equivalent to 5W/m
2
), however
it is not normal to detect any significant leakage, therefore, any leakage which is detected should be investigated.
It is essential that only leakage detectors with current calibration traceable to National Physical Laboratories are used.
Suitable leakage detectors: CELTEC A100
                                            APOLLO X1
[2] B: HIGH VOLTAGE TRANSFORMER TEST
1. CARRY OUT 3D CHECKS.
2. Disconnect the leads to the primary winding of the high voltage transformer. Disconnect the filament and secondary winding connections from the
rest of the HV circuitry. Using an ohmmeter, set on a low range, it is possible to check the continuity of all three winding. The following readings
should be obtained:
                  a.Primary winding -------------------- approximately 1.9 
Ω
                  b.Secondary winding --------------- approximately 123 
Ω 
                  c.Filament winding --------------------------- less than 1 
Ω
If the readings obtained are not stated as above, then the high voltage transformer is probably faulty and should be replaced.
 NEVER TOUCH ANY PART IN THE CIRCUIT WITH YOUR HAND OR AN INSULATED TOOL WHILE THE OVEN IS IN OPERATION.
WARNING: High voltages and large currents are present at the secondary winding and filament winding of the power transformer. It is 
very dangerous to work near this part when the oven is on. NEVER make any voltage measurements of the high-voltage cir-
cuits, including the magnetron filament.

3. Also, the high voltage transformer has the thermal cut-out in the primary coil. The thermal cut-out will open when the temperature of the thermal
cut-out in the primary coil reaches approximately 150
°C. The thermal cut-out resets automatically at 130°C. If an ohmmeter indicates an open cir-
cuit under normal condition, replace the high voltage transformer because the primary coil (thermal cut-out) has opened. An open primary coil
(thermal cut-out) indicates overheating of the high voltage transformer. Check for restricted air flow to the high voltage transformer, especially the
ventilation opening.
4. CARRY OUT 4R CHECKS.
[3] C: HIGH VOLTAGE RECTIFIER TEST
CARRY OUT 3D CHECKS.
Isolate the high voltage rectifier assembly from the HV circuit. The high voltage rectifier can be tested using an ohmmeter set to its highest range.
Connect the ohmmeter across the terminal B+C of the high voltage rectifier and note the reading obtained. Reverse the meter leads and note this
second reading. The normal resistance is infinite in one direction and more than 100 k
Ω in the other direction.
CARRY OUT 4R CHECKS.
ASYMMETRIC RECTIFIER TEST
CARRY OUT 3D CHECKS.
Isolate the high voltage rectifier assembly from the HV circuit. The asymmetric rectifier can be
tested using an ohmmeter set to its highest range across the terminals A+B of the asymmetric
rectifier and note the reading obtained. Reverse the meter leads and note this second reading.
If an open circuit is indicated in both directions then the asymmetric rectifier is good. If the asymmetric rectifier is shorted in either direction, then the
asymmetric rectifier is faulty and must be replaced with high voltage rectifier. When the asymmetric rectifier is defective, check whether magnetron,
high voltage rectifier, high voltage wire or filament winding of the high voltage transformer is shorted.
CARRY OUT 4R CHECKS.
NOTE: FOR MEASUREMENT OF THE RESISTANCE OF THE RECTIFIER, THE BATTERIES OF THE MEASURING INSTRUMENT MUST HAVE
A VOLTAGE AT LEAST 6 VOLTS, BECAUSE OTHERWISE AN INFINITE RESISTANCE MIGHT BE SHOWN IN BOTH DIRECTIONS.
[4] D: HIGH VOLTAGE CAPACITOR TEST
CARRY OUT 3D CHECKS.
1. Isolate the high voltage capacitor from the circuit.
2. Continuity check must be carried out with measuring instrument which is set to the highest resistance range.
3. A normal capacitor shows continuity for a short time (kick) and then a resistance of about 10M
Ω after it has been charged.
4. A short-circuited capacitor shows continuity all the time.
5. An open capacitor constantly shows a resistance about 10 M
Ω because of its internal 10MΩ resistance.
6. When the internal wire is opened in the high voltage capacitor shows an infinite resistance.
7. 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.
[5] E: SWITCH TEST
CARRY OUT 3D CHECKS.
Isolate the switch to be tested and using an ohmmeter check between the terminals as described in the following table.
If incorrect readings are obtained, make the necessary switch adjustment or replace the switch.
CARRY OUT 4R CHECKS.
[6] F: THERMISTOR TEST
CARRY OUT 3D CHECKS.
Disconnect the connector B from CPU unit. Measure the resistance of the thermistor with an ohmmeter. Connect the ohmmeter leads to Pin No's C1
and C3 of the thermistor harness.
If the meter does not indicate above resistance, replace the thermistor.
CARRY OUT 4R CHECKS.

[7] G: THERMAL CUT-OUT TEST
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 (MG) indicates that the magnetron has overheated, this may be due to resistricted ventilation, cooling fan failure.
An open circuit thermal cut-out (GRILL) indicates that the oven cavity has overheated, this may be due to no load operation.
An open circuit thermal cut-out (CONV.) indicates that the convection fan winding has overheated, this may be due to resistricted ventilation or locked
cooling fan or locked convection fan motor.
CARRY OUT 4R CHECKS.
[8] H: MOTOR WINDING TEST
CARRY OUT 3D CHECKS.
Disconnect the leads from the motor. Using an ohmmeter, check the resistance between the two terminals as described in the table below.
If incorrect readings are obtained, replace the motor.
CARRY OUT 4R CHECKS.
[9] I: NOISE FILTER TEST
CARRY OUT 3D CHECKS.
Disconnect the leads from the terminals of the noise filter. Using an ohmmeter, check
between the terminals as described in the following table. 
If incorrect readings are obtained, replace the noise filter unit.
CARRY OUT 4R CHECKS.
[10] J: BLOWN FUSE 20A
CARRY OUT 3D CHECKS.
If the fuse 20A is blown, there is a shorts or grounds in electrical parts or wire harness. Check them and replace the defective parts or repair the wire
harness.
CARRY OUT 4R CHECKS.
CAUTION: Only replace fuse with the correct value replacement.
[11] K: BLOWN FUSE F8A (NOISE FILTER)
CARRY OUT 3D CHECKS.
1. If the fuse F8A is blown when the door is opened, check the monitored latch switch SW1 and monitor switch.
2. If the fuse F8A is blown by incorrect door switching replace the defective switch(es) and the noise filter.

3. If the fuse F8A is blown, there could be shorts in the asymmetric rectifier or there is a ground in wire harness. A short in the asymmetric rectifier
may be occurred due to short or ground in H.V. rectifier, magnetron, high voltage transformer or H.V. wire. Check them and replace the defective
parts or repair the wire harness.

[12] L: GRILL HEATING ELEMENTS (TOP) AND CONVECTION HEATING ELEMENT TEST
CARRY OUT 3D CHECKS.
Before carrying out the following tests make sure the heating element is cool completely. 
1. Resistance of heater.
Disconnect the wire leads to the heating element to be tested. Using ohmmeter with low resistance range. Check the resistance across the termi-
nals of the heating element as described in the following table.
2. Insulation resistance.
Disconnect the wire leads to the heating element to be tested. Check the insulation resistance between the element terminal and cavity using a
500V - 100M
Ω insulation tester. The insulation resistance should be more than 10 MΩ in the cold start.
If the results of above test 1 and/or 2 are out of above specifications, the heating element is probably faulty and should be replaced.
CARRY OUT 4R CHECKS.
[13] M: CONTROL PANEL ASSEMBLY TEST
