[12] L: GRILL HEATING ELEMENTS (TOP) AND BOTTOM 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.
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
500V - 100M
Ω insulation tester. The insulation resistance should be more than 10MΩ 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
The control panel consists of circuits including semiconductors such as LSI, ICs, etc. Therefore, unlike conventional microwave ovens, proper main-
tenance can not be performed with only a voltmeter and ohmmeter.
tenance can not be performed with only a voltmeter and ohmmeter.
In this service manual, the control panel assembly is divided into two units, Control Unit and Key Unit, and troubleshooting by replacement is
described according to the symptoms indicated.
described according to the symptoms indicated.
1. Key Unit Note: Check Key unit ribbon connection before replacement.
The following symptoms indicate a defective key unit. Replace the key unit.
1) When touching the pads, a certain pad produces no signal at all.
2) When touching a number pad, two figures or more are displayed.
3) When touching the pads, sometimes a pad produces no signal.
2. Control Panel
The following symptoms indicate a defective control unit. Before replacing the control unit perform the key unit test (Procedure N) to determine if con-
trol unit is faulty.
trol unit is faulty.
2.1. In connection with pads
1) When touching the pads, a certain group of pads do not produce a signal.
2) When touching the pads, no pads produce a signal.
2.2. In connection with indicators
1) At a certain digit, all or some segments do not light up.
2) At a certain digit, brightness is low.
3) Only one indicator does not light up.
4) The corresponding segments of all digits do not light up; or they continue to light up.
5) Wrong figure appears.
6) A certain group of indicators do not light up.
7) The figure of all digits flicker.
2.3. Other possible troubles caused by defective control unit.
1) Buzzer does not sound or continues to sound.
2) Clock does not operate properly.
3) Cooking is not possible.
4) Proper temperature measurement is not obtained.
