CAUTION WARNING TO SERVICE TECHNICIANS

• Proper operation of the microwave ovensrequires that the magnetron be properlyassembled to the waveguide and cavity.Never operate the magnetron unless it isproperly installed.

• Be sure the “RF” seal is not damaged, andassembled around the magnetron domeproperly when installing the magnetron.

• Routine service safety procedures shouldbe exercised at all times.

• Untrained personnel should not attemptservice without a thorough review of the testprocedures and safety information containedin this manual.

To avoid possible exposure to microwave ra-diation or energy, visually check the oven fordamage to the door and door seal beforeoperating the oven. Use your microwave sur-vey meter to check the amount of leakagebefore servicing. In the event that the R.F.Ieakage exceeds 4 mw/cm2 at 5 cm, appropri-ate repair must be made before continuing toservice the unit. Check interlock function byoperating the door latch. The oven cook cycleshould cut off before the door can be opened.

The door and latching assembly contains theradio frequency energy within the oven. Thedoor is protected by three safety interlockswitches. Do not attempt to defeat them. Un-der no circumstances should you try to oper-ate the oven with the door open.

PRECAUTIONS TO BE OBSERVED BEFORE AND DUR-ING SERVICING TO AVOID POSSIBLE EXPOSURE TO

EXCESSIVE MICROWAVE ENERGY.1. Do not operate or allow the oven to be

operated with the door open.

2. Make the following safety checks on allovens to be serviced before activating themagnetron or other microwave source,and make repairs as necessary:

a) Interlock Operation.

b) Proper Door Closing.

c) Seal and Sealing Surfaces (Arcing,Wear, and Other Damage).

d) Damage to or Loosening of Hinges andLatches.

e) Evidence of Dropping or Abuse.

3. Before turning on microwave power forany service test or inspection within themicrowave generating compartments,

check the magnetron, wave guide or trans-mission line, and cavity for proper align-ment, integrity, and connections.

4. Any defective or misadjusted componentsin the interlock, monitor, door seal, andmicrowave generation and transmissionsystems shall be repaired, replaced, oradjusted by procedures described in thismanual before the oven is released to theowner.

5. A microwave leakage check to verify com-pliance with the Federal performancestandard should be performed on eachoven prior to release to the owner.

6. Do not attempt to operate the oven if thedoor glass is broken.

CAUTION: BEFORE TOUCHINGANY OVEN COMPONENTS ORWIRING, ALWAYS UNPLUG THEOVEN FROM ITS POWERSOURCE AND DISCHARGE THECAPACITOR BY USING A20,000-OHM DISCHARGE RESIS-TOR.

OR

USE AN INSULATED PLASTIC-HANDLE SCREWDRIVER ANDSHORT ACROSS THE CAPACI-TOR TERMINALS.

CAUTION

CAUTION: REPLACE BLOWNFUSE WITH 15 AMPERE CLASS HFUSE ONLY.

Before replacing the blown oven fuse, test theupper and lower door interlock switches, cookrelay or latch relay, and interlock monitor switch(middle switch) for proper operation as de-scribed in the component test procedures.

DO NOT ATTEMPT TO REPAIR STICKINGCONTACTS OF ANY INTERLOCK SWITCH,SAFETY SWITCH, OR COOK (LATCH) RE-LAY (REPLACE SWITCHES).

Any indication of sticking contacts during com-ponent test requires replacement of that com-ponent to assure reliability of the safety inter-lock system.

IF THE FUSE IS BLOWN, THE MONITOR,PRIMARY INTERLOCK AND SECONDARYINTERLOCK SWITCHES MUST ALSO BEREPLACED. BE SURE THEY ARE PROP-ERLY CONNECTED.

NOTES:

• For proper repair and assembly of the ovendoor, refer to pages 2-4 and 2-5.

• Interlock switches are not adjustable indi-vidually.

• For proper repair and adjustment of theinterlock switches, refer to page 2-8.

WARNINGDISCONNECT FROM POWER SUPPLYBEFORE SERVICING.

CAUTION: HIGH VOLTAGES AREPRESENT DURING THE COOKCYCLE. EXTREME CAUTIONSHOULD BE OBSERVED AT ALLTIMES.

CAUTION: DO NOT TOUCHOVEN COMPONENTS OR WIR-ING DURING OVEN OPERATION.ATTACH METER LEADS WITHALLIGATOR CLIPS WHEN MAK-ING OPERATIONAL TESTS.

CAUTION: IT IS NEITHER NEC-ESSARY NOR ADVISABLE TOATTEMPT MEASUREMENT OFHIGH VOLTAGES.

Whirlpool microwave ovens have a monitoringsystem designed to assure proper operationof the safety interlock systems.

The interlock monitor switch will immediatelycause the oven fuse to blow if the door isopened while the following combined failureexists:

Primary door interlock switch and/or second-ary interlock switch contacts failed in a closedposition.

R.F. LEAKAGE TEST

CAUTIONEQUIPMENT• Electromagnetic energy leakage monitor

(NARDA 8100B, HOLADAY H1501).

• 600 ml glass beaker.

• Glass thermometer 100°C or 212°F.

TESTOn every service call, checks for microwaveenergy emission must be made according tothe following manner.

1. Remove the cooking rack from the ovencavity, i f the microwave oven is soequipped.

2. Place a 250 ML (8.0 oz.) glass of water inthe center of the oven bottom.

3. Select “HIGH” cook power, turn the mi-crowave oven on, and test for R.F. Ieakageat the following locations using the pat-tern shown below:

a) Around the cabinet at the front.b) Around the door.c) Across the console panel.d) Horizontally across the door.e) Vertically across the door.f) Diagonally across the door.g) Across the air vents.h) Across the rear air vent.i) All lockseams.j) Weld at bottom.k) Bottom plate.I) Oven feet.

4. The scan speed is one inch per second.

When checking for R.F. Ieakage, use an ap-proved R.F. measuring device to assure lessthan 4 mw/cm2 emission at 5 cm distance witha maximum scan rate of 2.5 cm/second, incompliance with U.S. Government Departmentof Health, Education and Welfare 21 CFR1030,performance Standard for Microwave Ovens.

A properly operating door and seal assemblywill normally register small emissions, but theymust be no greater than 4 mw/cm2 to allow formeasurement uncertainty.

NOTE: Enter leakage readings in space BE-FORE and AFTER on the service document.

All microwave ovens exceeding the emissionlevel of 4 mw/cm2 must be reported to Dept. ofService for microwave ovens immediately andthe owner should be told not to use the micro-wave oven until it has been repaired com-pletely.

If a microwave oven is found to operate withthe door open, report to Dept. of Service, themanufacturer and CDRH* immediately. Alsotell the owner not to use the oven.* CDRH: Center for Device and Radiological Health, Food

and Drug Administration.

The interlock monitor switch acts as the finalsafety switch protecting the customer frommicrowave radiation. If the interlock monitorswitch operated to blow the fuse when theinterlocks failed you must replace all interlockswitches—primary and secondary interlockswitches and the monitor switch with newones because the contacts of those interlockswitches may be melted and welded together.

All repairs must be performed in such a man-ner that microwave energy emissions are mini-mal.

THEORY OF OPERATIONThe microwave oven is powered by the 120-volt line. Whenever the door is closed and acooking function is programmed through thecontrol panel’s keypad, relay contacts on thecontrol board close, and complete a circuitfrom the L1 side to the neutral side of the line.

The control board uses five relays to operatethe various functions of the microwave oven(see below). The relays are controlled by themicrocomputer on the control board, and per-form the functions shown below.

Relay 4 controls the speed of the blower motorthrough the contol panel. The base thermalfuse will also turn the blower motor on to itslow speed if the temperature reaches 133˚F.The schematic configuration for relay 4 isshown in the following diagram. The relay isexplained in further detail on the followingpage.

The normally-closed (N.C.) contacts of relay 4 provide a potential circuit for the Base ThermalFuse. If the base of the oven exceeds 133˚F, the thermal fuse contacts close, and a circuit forthe low-speed side of the blower motor is completed, which turns the motor on. The low-speedblower will operate until the base temperature drops below 104˚F and opens the thermal fusecontacts, and turns off.

Warning To Service Technicians!To avoid possible exposure to microwave radiation or energy, visually check the oven for damage to thedoor and door seal before operating any oven. Use a microwave survey meter to check the amount ofleakage before servicing. In the event the R.F. Ieakage exceeds 4 mW/cm at 5 cm, appropriate repair mustbe made before continuing to service the unit. Check interlock function by operating the door latch. Theoven cook cycle should cut off before the door can be opened.

The door and latching assembly contains the radio frequency energy within the oven. The door is protectedby three safety interlock switches. Do not attempt to defeat them.

UNDER NO CIRCUMSTANCES SHOULD YOU TRY TO OPERATE THE OVEN WITH THE DOOR OPEN.

• Proper operation of microwave ovens requires that the magnetron be properly assembled to thewaveguide and cavity. Never operate the magnetron unless it is properly installed.

• Be sure the “RF” seal is not damaged and is assembled around the magnetron dome properly wheninstalling the magnetron.

• Routine service safety procedures should be exercised at all times.

• Untrained personnel should not attempt service without a thorough review of test procedures and safetyinformation contained in this manual.

PRECAUTIONS TO BE OBSERVED BEFORE ANDDURING SERVICING TO AVOID POSSIBLE EXPOSURE

TO EXCESSIVE MICROWAVE ENERGYA. Do not operate or allow the oven to be operated with the door open.

B. Make the following safety checks on all ovens to be serviced before activating the magnetron or othermicrowave source and make repairs as necessary.

1. Interlock Operation2. Proper Door Closing3. Seal and Sealing Surfaces (Arcing, Wear and Other Damage)4. Damage to or Loosening of Hinges and Latches5. Evidence of Dropping or Abuse

C. Before turning on the microwave power for any service test or inspection within the microwavegenerating components, check the magnetron, wave guide or transmission line and cavity for properalignment.

D. Any defective or misadjusted components in the interlock, monitor, door seal and microwavegeneration and transmission system shall be repaired or adjusted by procedures described in theBasic Service Manuals for the specific microwave oven being serviced before the oven is releasedto the owner.

E. A microwave leakage check to verify compliance with Federal Performance Standards should beperformed on each oven prior to release to the owner.

F. Do not attempt to operate the oven if the door glass is broken.

Test the upper and lower door interlock switches, cook relay and interlock monitor switch (middle switch)for proper operation as described in the component test procedures, before replacing the blown oven fuse.

DO NOT ATTEMPT TO REPAIR STICKING CONTACTS OF ANY INTERLOCK SWITCH, SAFETYSWITCH OR COOK (LATCH) RELAY. REPLACE THE SWITCHES AND RELAY.

Any indication of sticking contacts during component tests requires replacement of that component toassure reliability of the safety interlock system.

IF THE FUSE IS BLOWN, THE MONITOR, PRIMARY AND SECONDARY INTERLOCK SWITCHES MUSTBE REPLACED. BE SURE THEY ARE PROPERLY CONNECTED.

Precautions to Avoid Possible Exposureto Excessive Microwave Energy

DO NOT attempt to operate the oven with the door open since open-door operation can resultin harmful exposure to microwave energy. It is important not to defeat or tamper with the safetyinterlocks.

DO NOT place any object between the oven front face and the door or allow soil or cleanerresidue to accumulate on sealing surfaces.

DO NOT operate the oven if it is damaged. It is particularly important that the oven door closeproperly and that there is no damage to the:

1. Door (bent).2. Hinges and Latches (broken or loosened).3. Door Seals and Sealing Surfaces.

DO NOT operate the microwave oven if the door window is broken.

The microwave oven should be checked for microwave leakage by qualified service personnelafter a repair is made.

The oven should not be adjusted or repaired by anyone except properly qualified servicepersonnel.

DO NOT operate the microwave oven with the outer cabinet removed.

CAUTION• High voltages are present during the cook

cycle. Extreme caution should be observedat all times.

• Abrasive cleansers, steel-wool pads, grittywash cloths, etc. can damage the control paneland the interior and exterior oven surfaces. Usea sponge with mild detergent or paper towelswith spray glass cleaner. Apply spray glasscleaner to paper towel. Do not spray directlyon oven.

• Before touching any oven component or wir-ing, always unplug the oven from its powersource and discharge the capacitor by using a20,000 ohm discharge resistor or use an insu-lated plastic handle screwdriver to short acrossthe capacitor terminals.

• Check that the unit is grounded before trouble-shooting. Be careful of the high voltage circuits.Discharge any static charge from your body bytouching ground before handling any part of thecircuitry on the control board. Electrostatic dis-charge may damage the control circuit.

• Do not touch oven components or wiring dur-ing operation. Attach meter leads with alligatorclips when making operational tests.

• For continued protection against radiation emis-sion, replace only with these types of switches:

Primary (Interlock) Switch: SZM-V16-FA-63 orVP-533A-OF; Secondary (Interlock) Switch:SZM-V01-FA-32; Interlock (Monitor) Switch:SZM-Vl6-FA-62 or VP-532A-OF; Oven LampSwitch: SZM-V6-FA-31 or VP-331A-OD.

• It is neither necessary nor advisable to attemptmeasurement of high voltage.

• Attaching the adaptor ground terminal to thewall receptacle cover screw does not groundthe appliance unless the cover screw is metaland not insulated and the wall receptacle isgrounded through the house wiring.

WARNING• Disconnect the oven from electrical supply be-

fore servicing. Failure to do so could result inelectrical shock or death.

• Improper use of the grounding plug can resultin a risk of electrical shock. Do not, under anycircumstance, cut or remove the third groundprong from the power cord plug.

Fire, Electrical Shock, ExcessiveExposure to Microwave Energy,

Personal Injury & ProductDamage Hazard

• Do not block the rear air intake openings orexhaust vents. Allow a few inches of space atthe back of the oven where intake openingsand exhaust vents are located. Blocking the airintake openings and exhaust vents can causedamage to the oven and poor cooking results.Make sure the microwave oven legs are inplace to ensure proper airflow.

• Do not install the oven next to or over a heatsource (a cooktop or range).

• Do not install oven in any area where exces-sive heat and steam are generated. This couldcause fire, electrical shock, excessive exposureto microwave energy, other personal injury ordamage to the outside of the cabinet.

1. Set the ohmmeter to the R x 1scale.

2. Remove the 3-pin connector fromthe control circuit board and mea-sure the resistance between the:

a) Red & white wire terminals.You should measure 20 Ω @68˚F.

b) White & yellow wire terminals.You should measure infinity.

The gas sensor is used during the “SensorCook” operation of the oven. It is locatedabove the oven and is mounted on the left sideof the sensor cover. The sensor consists oftwo circuits housed on a small microcomputerboard that is supplied with a current to keep itheated. The sensor heat conductivity will vary,

depending upon the humidity of the oven.Changing humidity conditions, due to the cook-ing process within the oven cavity, causes adifference in potential between these two cir-cuits. This difference is monitored by the mi-crocomputer during cooking, allowing the mi-crocomputer to determine the proper cooktime.

NOTE: Always verify that the sensor cover isnot obstructed (proper air flow is passing overthe sensor), and that the fan motor is workingproperly, before replacing the gas sensor.

On every service call, checks for microwaveenergy emission must be made according tothe following manner.

1. Remove the cooking rack from the ovencavity, i f the microwave oven is soequipped.

2. Place a 275 ML (9. oz.) glass of water inthe center of the oven bottom.

3. Select “HlGH” cook power, turn the mi-crowave oven on, and test for R.F. Ieakageusing the following pattern:

a) Check around the cabinet at the front.

b) Check around the door.

c) Check across the console panel.

d) Check horizontally across the door

e) Check vertically across the door.

f) Check diagonally across the door.

g) Check across the air vents.

h) Check across the rear air vent.

NOTE: The scan speed is one-inch-per-sec-ond.

When checking for R.F. Ieakage, use an ap-proved R.F. measuring device to assure lessthan 4 mw/cm2 emission at 5 cm distance witha maximum scan rate of 2.5 cm/second, incompliance with U.S. Government Departmentof Health, Education and Welfare 21 CFR1030,performance Standard for Microwave Ovens.

A properly operating door and seal assemblywill normally register small emissions, but theymust be no greater than 4 mw/cm2 to allow formeasurement uncertainty.

NOTE: Enter leakage readings in the spaceBEFORE and AFTER on the service docu-ment.

All microwave ovens exceeding the emissionlevel of 4 mw/cm2 must be reported to Dept. ofService for microwave ovens immediately andthe owner should be told not to use the micro-wave oven until it has been repaired com-pletely.

If a microwave oven is found to operate withthe door open, report to Dept. of Service, themanufacturer, and CDRH* immediately. Alsotell the owner not to use the oven.

The interlock monitor switch acts as the finalsafety switch protecting the customer frommicrowave radiation. If the interlock monitorswitch operates and opens the line fuse, theinterlock switches have failed, and you mustreplace all of them (primary and secondaryinterlock switches, and the monitor switch),because their contacts may be melted andwelded together.

All repairs must be performed so that micro-wave energy emissions are minimal.

* CDRH: Center for Device and Radiological health, food, and drug administration.

MAKING THE MEASUREMENTSMeasuring The Oven With TheCabinet Installed

MEASUREMENT NOTES:

• When measuring for leakage, use the 2"(5 cm ) spacer that is provided with theprobe.

• Leakage with the outer panels removedshould be less than 5 mW/cm.sq.

• Leakage for a fully assembled oven (beforethe lamp switch primary is interrupted) withthe door opened slightly, should be lessthan 2 mW/cm.sq.

• Do not exceed the meter’s full-scale deflec-tion.

• Do not move the test probe along the mea-suring surfaces faster than 1-inch-per-sec-ond (2.5 cm/sec), otherwise a false readingwill occur.

• When testing near a corner of the door,keep the probe perpendicular to the sur-face, and move it horizontally without touch-ing the surfaces, otherwise a false readingwill occur.

• Hold the test probe by its gripping surfaceonly, otherwise a false reading will occur.

To measure for oven leakage:

1. Pour 275 (±25cc) of water into a 600 ccgraduated beaker.

2. Place the beaker into the center of themicrowave oven.

3. Set the energy leakage monitor to 2,450MHz, and use i t accord ing to themanufacturer’s recommended test pro-cedure to obtain the correct results.

4. Measure the microwave radiation with anelectromagnetic radiation monitor. Holdthe probe perpendicular to the surfacebeing measured, and measure aroundthe door viewing window, the exhaustopening, and air inlet openings.

5. Operate the oven at its maximum energyoutput, and take the measurements.

Measuring The Oven With TheCabinet Removed

When the magnetron has been replaced, usethe previous procedure, and measure for mi-crowave energy leakage after all of the neces-sary components are replaced or adjusted,and before the cabinet is installed. Take spe-cial care to measure around the magnetronand the waveguide. WARNING: Be carefulnot to contact any of the high voltage com-ponents when making measurements withthe cabinet removed.

MEASURING MICROWAVEPOWER OUTPUT USING THEIEC-705 RATING STANDARDWhen determining the microwave oven’s poweroutput using the IEC-705 rating standard, thefollowing conditions must be met:

• When making microwave power output mea-surements, the oven is supplied with itsrated line voltage, and operated at its maxi-mum power output setting with a load of1000 (±5) cc of potable water.

• The water is contained in a cylindrical boro-silicate glass vessel having a maximummaterial thickness of 1/8" and an outsidediameter of approximately 7.6".

• The oven and the empty vessel are at ambi-ent temperature prior to the start of the test.

• The initial temperature of the water is 10˚C±2˚ (50˚F). It is measured immediately be-fore the water is added to the vessel. Afteraddition of the water to the vessel, the loadis immediately placed on the center of theshelf, which is in the lowest position, andthe microwave power switched on.

• The time (in seconds) for the temperature ofthe water to rise by a value of 10˚C ±2˚ ismeasured. The initial and final water tem-peratures are selected so that the maximumdifference between the final water tempera-ture, and the ambient temperature, is 5˚C.

• The microwave power output (in watts) iscalculated, using the following formula:

(L) 4187 (∆T)

T1 P =

L = time (in seconds).

P = microwave output power.

(∆T) = temperature rise.

• Microwave power output is measured withthe oven operating at full power. The mag-netron filament heat-up time (approximately2-seconds) is not included.

• The water is stirred to equalize the tempera-ture throughout the vessel, prior to measur-ing the final water temperature.

• Stirring devices and measuring instrumentsare selected to minimize the addition orremoval of heat.

TEST PROCEDURE RESULTCOMPONENT

Relay 2 (RY2)

WARNING: When you applypower to the unit, be carefulnot to touch any of the highvoltage circuits.

Set the ohmmeter to the R x 1scale, and check for continuitybetween the two relay terminalpins. Use the following steps.

1.Remove the wire connectorsfrom the relay terminals.

2.Use a pair of alligator clips,and clip the ohmmeter leadsto the two terminals of the re-lay. Make sure that you do notallow the clips to short to any-thing.

3.Plug the microwave oven intoan AC receptical.

4.Set the power level, as shownin the chart in the right col-umn, and check the relay op-eration for the ten power lev-els. NOTE: During the operat-ing time set for each level, therelay will close (short) for thetime specified in the chart, andthen open for another speci-fied amount of time. When theopen time elapses, the cyclebegins again until the cookingtime elapses and the oventurns off.

OPENCLOSED

The following problems indicate a defectivecontrol circuit board:

1. The START function fails to operate, butthe high voltage systems, the interlockswitches, the door sensing, and the relaychecks are good.

2. The oven operates okay with a replace-ment relay installed.

3. Proper temperature measurements can-not be obtained.

4. The buzzer does not sound, or continuesto sound.

5. Some segments of one or more digits donot light up, or they continue to light up,or segments light when they should not.

6. Wrong figures appear on the display.7. The digits on the display flicker.8. Some of the indicators do not light.9. The clock does not keep the proper time.
