Oven Thermal Cutout
The oven thermal cutout (Cavity TCO) is located on the top side of the oven cavity beside the exhaust duct with a tem-
perature rating of 248°F (120°C) and is NOT resettable.
Hood Thermal Cutout
This cutout will protect the touch control from excessive heat by turning the vent fan on at low speed. If the surface units
of the range are used for long periods of time heat will build up and could damage the microwave control. In order to pre-
vent this, a thermal cutout is installed on the duct behind the control. This cutout will close (158°F/70°C - vent fan ener-
gized) and open (104°F/40°C - vent fan de-energized) depending on temperature.
Magnetron Thermal Cutout
The magnetron thermal cutout is located above the leads to the magnetrons. It is designed to prevent damage to the
magnetron if an overheated condition develops in the tube due to cooling fan failure, obstructed air ducts, dirty or
blocked air intake. Under normal operation, the magnetron thermal cutout remains closed. However, when abnormally
high temperatures are reached within the magnetron, the magnetron thermal cutout will open at 302°F (150°C) causing
the oven to shut down. After the temperature drops to 140°F (60°C) it will reset and cooking will be able to resume.
Bottom Thermal Cutout
During a fire on the stove the heat could be intense enough to close the Hood Thermal Cutout and force the fan to run.
While at moderate high temperature we do want it to run, however during a fire it is advantageous to NOT have the vent
fan running. So if a fire were to start on the stove top the Bottom Thermal Cutout would open at 248°F (120°C) and re-
move all power to the microwave oven. This cutout is NOT resettable.
To Test Blower Windings: 1. Disconnect power and remove grill. 2. Open control panel and discharge capacitor.
3. Continuity test across the two wires of the run capacitor should be approximately 120 ohms of resistance. This test
allows you to read across all windings at the same time.
Error Code Cause and countermeasure
-SE- Key short error(10 sec.). Replace assy
control panel or smart board.
Microwave cover assembly
The front of the top cover has flanges that must fit inside the front
frame and vent, and the bottom goes above the bottom cover. Start
with the left side and hold in place with one screw once engaged.
Leave the display loose so you can see that the right side is engaged
properly. Then mount display and the vent, ensuring the vent en-
gages the flange.

The fuse is located on the noise filter.
1. Disconnect power and remove grille and Assembly
Control Box.
2. Replace the fuse.
3. When 20A fuse blows out by the operation of interlock
monitor switch failure, replace the primary interlock
switch, secondary interlock switch, door sensing switch,
interlock monitor switch and power relay.
4. When the above four switches operate properly, check
if any other part such as the control circuit board, blower
motor or high voltage transformer is defective.

WARNING: It is critical to route wires and
wire harness identical to the way they were,
to prevent electromagnetic interference caus-
ing possible fault codes.
Procedure for measurement of microwave energy leakage
1. Pour 275±15cc of 20±5°C(68±9°F) water in a beaker which is
graduated to 600cc, and place the beaker in the center of the oven
2. Start to operate the oven and measure the leakage by using a mi-
crowave energy survey meter.
3. Set survey meter with dual ranges to 2,450MHz.
4. When measuring the leakage, always use the 2 inch spacer cone
with the probe. Hold the probe perpendicular to the cabinet door.
Place the spacer cone of the probe on the door and/or cabinet door
seam and move along the seam. The door viewing window and the
exhaust openings moving the probe in a clockwise direction at a
rate of 1 inch/sec. If the leakage testing of the cabinet door seam is
taken near a corner of the door, keep the probe perpendicular to
the areas making sure that the probe end at the base of the cone
does not get closer than 5 cm to any metal. If if gets closer than 5
cm, erroneous readings may result.
5. Measured leakage must be less than 4mW/cm2 after repair and
adjustment.
Maximum allowable leakage is 5mW/cm2. 4mW/cm2 is used to allow
for measurement and meter accuracy.

Safety precautions
High Voltage Warning Do not attempt to
measure any of the high voltages --this in-
cludes the filament voltage of the magnetron.
High voltage is present during any cook cycle.
Before touching any components or wiring,
always unplug the oven and discharge the
high voltage capacitor
Some semiconductor (“solid state”) devices
are easily damaged by static electricity. Such
components are called Electrostatically
Sensitive Devices (ESDs). Examples
include integrated circuits and field-effect
transistors. Immediately before handling any
semiconductor components or assemblies,
drain the electrostatic charge from your body
by touching a known earth ground.

Fill a 1000ml plastic room temperature container with cool tap water,
temperature of the water should be 55-65 degrees
Stir water with a thermometer and record the water temperature, remove
thermometer.
Place the container in the center of the lowest shelf or center of the
bottom of the microwave.
For units less than 1550 watts, operate the oven on high for exactly 63
seconds.
Using the thermometer, stir the water to check the temperature of the
water.
Subtract the starting temperature from the final temperature; this will be
the temperature rise.
NOTE: Check line voltage under load, lower line voltage will lower
the power output.
