Magnetron Discharge Capacitor
Remove wires from magnetron and
connect ohmmeter to terminals. Also
check between each terminal and ground.
Between Terminals: Less than 1 Ω
Each terminal to ground: Infinite
resistance.
Note: This test is not conclusive. If
oven does not heat and all other
components test good replace the
magnetron and retest.
High Voltage
Capacitor
Discharge Capacitor
Remove wires from capacitor terminals
and connect ohmmeter, set on highest
resistance scale to terminals.
Also check between each terminal and
capacitor case.
Between Terminals: Meter should
momentarily indicate several ohms,
then return to infinity. If no deflection
occurs, or if continuous deflection
occurs, replace capacitor.
Terminal to Case: Infinite resistance
High Voltage Diode Discharge Capacitor
Remove diode lead from capacitor and
connect ohmmeter.
Reverse leads for second test.
Infinite resistance should be measured
in one direction and continuity in the
opposite direction.
NOTE: Ohmmeter must contain a
battery of 6 volts minimum.

Power Test (Traditional Test Method)
Test equipment required is Amana power test kit R0157397 (Fahrenheit), or
Menumaster power test kit M95D5 (Celsius).
1. Fill the plastic container to the 1000 ml. line with cool tap water.
2. Using the thermometer; stir the water, measure, and record the water temperature.
Initial water temperature should be approximately 60°F (16°C).
3. Place container on the center of the oven shelf and heat the water for
33 seconds for ovens with more than 1550 watts or 63 seconds for ovens with less than 1550 watts.
NOTE: Use a watch second hand, not the oven timer.
4. Stir the water, measure and record the temperature of the water after heating time is complete.
5. Subtract the starting water temperature (Step 2), from the ending water temperature (Step 4) to obtain the
temperature rise (∆T).
6. See the Traditional Power Test Temperature Chart below.
NOTES: •The IEC-705 test method requires precision measurements and equipment. It is not practical to perform
the IEC test in the field. To convert the traditional power test results to the approximate IEC-705 rating,
take the traditional power test results and add 100 watts per magnetron for the unit being tested.
Example: 1050 ⎯watts output using the traditional power test
+ 100 ⎯watts (1 magnetron X 100 watts)
1150 ⎯Approximate IEC-705 results
•Always perform power test three times for accuracy, changing the water after each test is performed.
•Variation or errors in the test procedure will cause a variance in the temperature rise. Additional power
tests should be made if temperature rise appears marginal.
•Low line voltage will cause lower temperature rise.
