  4. Run the oven and check all functions.

How can you test for the presence of microwave energy within the oven cavity?

Place a cup of cold water on the oven turntable, close the door, set the power to HIGH, and set the microwave timer for two (2) minutes. After two minutes, check that the water is hot. If the water remains cold, carry out the “Before Servicing” procedure and re-examine the connections to the component being tested.


What should be done when all service work is completed and the oven is fully assembled?

The microwave power output should be checked and a microwave leakage test should be carried out.


What is the microwave leakage limit (Power density limit)?

The power density of microwave radiation emitted by a microwave oven should not exceed 1mW/cm2 at any point 5cm or more from the external surface of the oven, measured prior to acquisition by a purchaser, and thereafter (through the useful life of the oven), 5 mW/cm2 at any point 5cm or more from the external surface of the oven.


What should the safety interlock switches do?

  • The primary interlock relay and door sensing switch shall prevent microwave radiation emission in excess of the requirement as mentioned above.
  • The secondary interlock switch shall prevent microwave radiation emission in excess of 5 mW/cm2 at any point 5cm or more from the external surface of the oven.

What are the steps for preparation before beginning the actual measurement of leakage?

  1. Make sure that the actual instrument is operating normally as specified in its instruction booklet.
  2. Place the oven tray in the oven cavity.
  3. Place a load of 275±15 ml (9.8 oz) of tap water initially at 20±5˚C (68˚F) in the center of the oven cavity. The water container should be a low form of 600 ml (20 oz) beaker with an inside diameter of approx. 8.5 cm (3-1/2 in.) and made of an electrically nonconductive material such as glass or plastic.
  4. Set the cooking control on Full Power Cooking Mode.
  5. Close the door and select a cook cycle of several minutes. If the water begins to boil before the survey is completed, replace it with 275 ml of cool water.

How is the closed-door leakage test performed?

  1. Grasp the probe of the survey instrument and hold it perpendicular to the gap between the door and the body of the oven.
  2. Move the probe slowly, not faster than 1 in./sec. (2.5 cm/sec.) along the gap, watching for the maximum indication on the meter.
  3. Check for leakage at the door screen, sheet metal seams, and other accessible positions where the continuity of the metal has been breached (e.g., around the switches, indicator, and vents). While testing for leakage around the door, pull the door away from the front of the oven as far as is permitted by the closed latch assembly.
  4. Measure carefully at the point of highest leakage and make sure that the highest leakage is no greater than 4mW/cm2, and that the secondary interlock switch does turn the oven OFF before any door movement.

What should be recorded after servicing?

After servicing, record data on the service invoice and microwave leakage report.


What precautions should be taken to avoid electrical shock and microwave radiation hazard?

Check the interlock switches and the door seal carefully.

How does the microwave operate in the OFF CONDITION?

Closing the door activates the door sensing switch and secondary interlock switch. (In this condition, the monitor switch contacts are opened.) When the oven is plugged in, 120 volts A.C. is supplied to the control unit. For model R-519CK, the display will show flashing “88:88”. For models R-530CK/CW, the display will show “SHARP SIMPLY PRESS CLEAR AND PRESS CLOCK”. To set any program or set the clock, you must first touch the STOP/CLEAR pad. The display will clear, and " : " will appear.


How does the microwave operate in the COOKING CONDITION?

  1. Program desired cooking time by touching the NUMBER pads.
  2. Program the power level by touching the POWER LEVEL pad and then a Number pad.
  3. When the START pad is touched, the following operations occur:
    • The contacts of relays are closed and components connected to the relays are turned on.
      • RELAY (RY-1): oven lamp/turntable motor/fan motor
      • RELAY (RY-2): power transformer
    • 120 volts A.C. is supplied to the primary winding of the power transformer and is converted to about 3.3 volts A.C. output on the filament winding, and approximately 2370 volts A.C. on the high voltage winding.
    • The filament winding voltage heats the magnetron filament and the H.V. winding voltage is sent to a voltage doubler circuit.
    • The microwave energy produced by the magnetron is channeled through the waveguide into the cavity feed-box, and then into the cavity where the food is placed to be cooked.
    • Upon completion of the cooking time, the power transformer, oven lamp, etc. are turned off, and the generation of microwave energy is stopped. The oven will revert to the OFF condition.
    • When the door is opened during a cook cycle, the monitor switch, door sensing switch, secondary interlock switch, relay (RY1) and primary interlock relay are activated with the following results:
      • The circuits to the turntable motor, the cooling fan motor, and the high voltage components are de-energized, the oven lamp remains on, and the digital read-out displays the time still.
  4. The monitor switch electrically monitors the operation of the secondary interlock switch and primary interlock relay and is mechanically associated with the door so that it will function in the following sequence:
  • When the door opens from the closed position, the primary interlock relay (RY2) and secondary interlock switch open their contacts. And contacts of the relay (RY1) remains closed. Then the monitor switch contacts close. * When the door is closed from the open position, the monitor switch contacts open first. Then the contacts of the secondary interlock switch and door sensing switch close. And contacts of the relay (RY1) open.

What happens if the secondary interlock switch and primary interlock relay fail with the contacts closed when the door is opened?

The closing of the monitor switch contacts will form a short circuit through the monitor fuse, secondary interlock switch, relay (RY1) and primary interlock relay (RY2), causing the monitor fuse to blow.


How does the microwave operate with Variable Cooking Power (P-0 to P-90)?

When Variable Cooking Power is programmed, the 120 volts A.C. is supplied to the power transformer intermittently through the contacts of relay (RY-2) which is operated by the control unit within a 32-second time base. The following is the microwave power operation:

VARI-MODE ON TIME OFF TIME
Power 10 (P-HI) 32 sec. 0 sec. (100% power)
Power 9 (P-90) 30 sec. 2 sec. (approx. 90% power)
Power 8 (P-80) 26 sec. 6 sec. (approx. 80% power)
Power 7 (P-70) 24 sec. 8 sec. (approx. 70% power)
Power 6 (P-60) 22 sec. 10 sec. (approx. 60% power)
Power 5 (P-50) 18 sec. 14 sec. (approx. 50% power)
Power 4 (P-40) 16 sec. 16 sec. (approx. 40% power)
Power 3 (P-30) 12 sec. 20 sec. (approx. 30% power)
Power 2 (P-20) 8 sec. 24 sec. (approx. 20% power)
Power 1 (P-10) 6 sec. 26 sec. (approx. 10% power)
Power 0 (P-0) 0 sec. 32 sec. (0% power)

Why does the ON/OFF time ratio not correspond with the percentage of microwave power?

Approximately 2 seconds are needed for heating of the magnetron filament.


How does the microwave operate in SENSOR COOKING CONDITION?

The food is cooked without figuring time, power level, or quantity. When the oven senses enough steam from the food, it relays the information to its microprocessor, which will calculate the remaining cooking time and power level needed for best results. When the food is cooked, water vapor is developed. The sensor “senses” the vapor, and its resistance increases gradually. When the resistance reaches the value set according to the menu, supplementary cooking is started. The time of supplementary cooking is determined by experiment with each food category and inputted into the LSI.


What is the process when cooking potatoes with the sensor function?

  1. Potatoes at room temperature emit vapor very slowly.
  2. As the potatoes heat, moisture and humidity are emitted rapidly, and an aroma can be smelled.
  3. The sensor detects moisture and humidity and calculates cooking time and variable power.

How do you use the SENSOR COOK function?

  1. Touch one of the SENSOR pads (for R-519CK). Touch one of the SENSOR pads and then touch the Start pad (for R-530CK/CW).
  2. The coil of shut-off relay (RY-1) is energized, the turntable motor, oven lamp and cooling fan motor are turned on, but the power transformer is not turned on.
  3. After about 16 seconds, the cook relay (RY-2) is energized. The power transformer is turned on, microwave energy is produced, and the first stage is started. The 16 seconds is the cooling time required to remove any vapor from the oven cavity and sensor. NOTE: During this first stage, do not open the door or touch the STOP/CLEAR pad.
  4. When the sensor detects the vapor emitted from the food, the display switches over to the remaining cooking time, and the timer counts down to zero. At this time, the door may be opened to stir, turn, or season food.
  5. When the timer reaches zero, an audible signal sounds. The shut-off relay and cook relay are de-energized, and the power transformer, oven lamp, etc. are turned off.
  6. Opening the door or touching the STOP/CLEAR pad, the time of day will reappear on the display, and the oven will revert to an OFF condition.

What is a NOTE about using the SENSOR function immediately after plugging in the unit?

The oven should not be operated on SENSOR immediately after plugging in the unit. Wait two minutes before cooking on SENSOR.


How do you open the microwave door?

The door is opened by pushing the open button on the control panel. When the open button is pushed, the open button pushes up the switch lever, and then the switch lever pushes up the latch head. The latch heads are moved upward and released from the latch hook. Now the door will open.


What happens when the microwave door is opened?

When the door is opened, the switches interrupt the power to all high voltage components.


What must happen before a cook cycle can take place?

A cook cycle cannot take place until the door is firmly closed thereby activating both interlock switches.


What does the monitor switch do?

The monitor switch is intended to render the oven inoperative, by means of blowing the monitor fuse, when the contacts of the primary interlock relay (RY2) and secondary interlock switch fail to open when the door is opened.


What happens to the monitor switch contacts when the door is opened?

When the door is opened, the monitor switch contact close (to the ON condition) due to their being normally closed.


What is the state of the primary interlock relay (RY2) and secondary interlock switch when the door is opened?

At this time the primary interlock relay (RY2) and secondary interlock switch are in the OFF condition (contacts open) due to their being normally open contact switches.


What happens as the door goes to a closed position?

As the door goes to a closed position, the monitor switch contacts are first opened and then the door sensing switch and the secondary interlock switch contacts close.


What happens if the door is opened, and the primary interlock relay fails to open?

If the door is opened, and the primary interlock relay open, the monitor fuse blows simultaneously with closing of the monitor switch contacts.


What should be done before replacing a blown monitor fuse?

Before replacing a blown monitor fuse, test the door sensing switch, primary interlock relay (RY2), relay (RY1), secondary interlock switch and monitor switch for proper operation.


What comes as an assembly?

The monitor fuse and monitor switch are replaced as an assembly.


What is the purpose of the turntable motor?

The turntable motor rotates the turntable located on the bottom of the oven cavity, so that the foods on the turntable cook evenly during cooking. The turntable may turn in either direction.


What does the cooling fan motor do?

The cooling fan motor drives a blade which draws external cool air. This cool air is directed through the air vanes surrounding the magnetron and cools the magnetron. This air is channelled through the oven cavity to remove steam and vapors given off from the heating foods. It is then exhausted through the exhausting air vents at the oven cavity.


When does the monitor fuse blow?

The monitor fuse blows when the contacts (COM-NO) of the primary interlock relay (RY2) and secondary interlock switch remain closed with the oven door open and when the monitor switch closes.


What else can cause the monitor fuse to blow?

If the wire harness or electrical components are short-circuited, this monitor fuse blows to prevent an electric shock or fire hazard.


What is the purpose of the cavity temperature fuse?

The cavity temperature fuse located on the top of the oven cavity, is designed to prevent damage to the oven by fire.


When will the cavity temperature fuse open?

When abnormally high temperatures are reached within the oven cavity, the cavity temperature fuse will open at 302˚F(150˚C) causing the oven to shut down.


Is the cavity temperature fuse resettable?

No, it does not reset.


What is the purpose of the magnetron temperature fuse?

The magnetron temperature fuse located near the magnetron is designed to prevent damage to the magnetron if an over heated condition develops in the tube due to cooling fan failure, obstructed air guide, dirty or blocked air intake, etc.


When will the magnetron temperature fuse open?

When abnormally high temperatures are reached within the magnetron, the magnetron temperature fuse will open at 302˚F(150˚C) causing the oven to shut down.


What should you never touch while the power supply is connected?

Never touch any part in the circuit with your hand or an uninsulated tool while the power supply is connected.


What should you do if the oven becomes inoperative because of a blown monitor fuse?

If the oven becomes inoperative because of a blown monitor fuse, check the monitor switch, relay (RY1) primary interlock relay (RY2), door sensing switch and secondary interlock switch before replacing the monitor fuse.


What else should be replaced if the monitor fuse is replaced?

If the monitor fuse is replaced, the monitor switch must also be replaced.

When should you use the water temperature rise test?

This test should only be used if the above tests do not indicate a faulty magnetron and there is no defect in the following components or wiring: silicon rectifier, high voltage capacitor and power transformer.


What materials are needed for the water temperature rise test?

This test will require a 16 ounce (453cc) measuring cup and an accurate mercury thermometer or thermocouple type temperature tester.


What are the steps for the water temperature rise test?

  1. Fill the measuring cup with 16 oz. (453cc) of tap water and measure the temperature of the water with a thermometer or thermocouple temperature tester. Stir the thermometer or thermocouple through the water until the temperature stabilizes. Record the temperature of the water.
  2. Place the cup of water in the oven. Operate oven at POWER 10(HIGH) selecting more than 60 seconds cook time. Allow the water to heat for 60 seconds, measuring with a stop watch, second hand of a watch or the digital read-out countdown.
  3. Remove the cup from the oven and again measure the temperature, making sure to stir the thermometer or thermocouple through the water until the maximum temperature is recorded.
  4. Subtract the cold water temperature from the hot water temperature. The normal result should be 38 to78˚F(21 to 42.6˚C) rise in temperature.

What does the water temperature rise test indicate?

If the water temperatures are accurately measured and tested for the required time period the test results will indicate if the magnetron tube has low power output (low rise in water temperature) which would extend cooking time or high power output (high rise in water temperature) which would reduce cooking time.


When should the magnetron tube assembly be replaced?

The magnetron tube assembly should be replaced only if the water temperature rise test indicates a power output well beyond the normal limits.


What conditions must be met for the water temperature rise test to be accurate?

The test is only accurate if the power supply line voltage is 120 volts and the oven cavity is clean.


What are the steps to test the high voltage capacitor?

  1. Disconnect the power supply cord, and then remove outer case.
  2. Open the door and block it open.
  3. Discharge high voltage capacitor.
  4. If the capacitor is open, no high voltage will be available to the magnetron. Disconnect input leads and check for short or open between the terminals using an ohmmeter. Checking with a high ohm scale, if the high voltage capacitor is normal, the meter will indicate continuity for a short time and should indicate an open circuit once the capacitor is charged. If the above is not the case, check the capacitor with an ohmmeter to see if it is shorted between either of the terminals and case. If it is shorted, replace the capacitor.
  5. Reconnect all leads removed from components during testing.
  6. Reinstall the outer case (cabinet).
  7. Reconnect the power supply cord after the outer case is installed.
