The SMH9207 presents with the symptom of the microwave oven being “DEAD”.
There are no functions available and the oven is incapable of operating at this time. Testing has shown that this problem
can manifest due to a failure of the ASSY PCB MAIN which is located in the microwave ovens Door Assy.
To Troubleshoot this failure, you will need a DVM (Digital Voltage Meter) capable of reading both AC and DC
voltages. Use the Images on page three for reference.
Step 1:
 Check that AC voltage is available and present in the microwave oven. Check the input voltage at the Noise
Filter PCB Assy. Check for ≈ 120VAC on both the input and output connectors of the PCB.
 If the Voltage is not Present, check the input wire harness, outlet for voltage. Also check that the circuit
breaker of fuse supplying the outlet is not open.
 If voltage is present at the input of the Noise Filter board, but not present at the output, check the 20 A,
250VAC fuse on the Board. Replace the fuse or board as necessary.
Note: The wiring diagram in the Service Manual for SMH9207 is incorrect. Page 2 cannot be used to locate con-
nectors and pins due to the mislabeling of the connectors. Please use the provided picture on page 3 for cor-
rect connector and pin assignments.
Step 2.: The configuration of this microwave oven differs with the traditional configurations of ovens by Samsung. The
Logic and Control of the microwave oven has been split between 2 (two) boards where in previous models, all functions
are contained on one board. Unfortunately both of the new boards are described a ASSY PCB MAIN. For the purposes
of troubleshooting, we will refer to the 2 boards as follows:
Relay Circuit Board Assy (ASSY PCB MAIN) - Large board located in ASSY Control BOX
Control Circuit Board Assy (ASSY PCB MAIN) - Located in in the ASSY DOOR
 Check if AC voltage is present at the Relay Circuit Board assy. (MAIN). Measure for ≈120VAC between
CN01—Pin 1 (B6) and the Neutral line out of the noise filter Board assy. (White wire). If the voltage is not
present check the following:
1. MGT TCO and the Cavity TCO for open conditions. Remove power form the microwave oven. Us-
ing an ohmmeter, check for continuity from the noise filter L voltage output (Black wire) to CN01—
pin 1. If open, check each TCO individually with an ohmmeter and replace as necessary.
 If the AC voltage is present at CN01-Pin1, check for the presence of the Main Relay Control Signal (RY-
MAIN) from the Control Circuit Board which is located in the Door Assy.
1. Using a DC Multi-meter, check for a signal voltage at connector CN05 on the MAIN PCB. Check
Pin 25. The signal should read:
 ≈3.5 vdc with the door closed.
 ≈4.5 to 5 vdc with the door open.
Use the metal ASSY Bracket for DC gnd.
 If the signal is not present, this indicates a failure of the Control Circuit Board.(Also called MAIN). A final
check is to look for 5 vdc at CN05—pins 22 and 20. If the 5 vdc is not present, the Control Circuit PCB has
failed. The 5 vdc is created on the relay bd., but is loaded down and won’t be present.
Parts:
Control Circuit Board Assy. Please order:
Relay Circuit Board Assy. This Board is not available as a service part. Please order:
The board is part of this assembly.

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.
