I I forni a microonde contengono un circuito elettrico in grado di generare tensioni e correnti estremamente elevate.
L’eventuale contatto con i seguenti componenti può causare la folgorazione:
condensatore ad alta tensione; trasformatore ad alta tensione; magnetron; rettificatore alta tensione; cablaggio ad
alta tensione.
TRE OPERAZIONI IMPORTANTI PER
INCOMINCIARE
1) Scollegare l'alimentazione elettrica.
2) Verificare che la porta sia bloccata in posizione
aperta.
3) Scaricare il condensatore ad alta tensione.
ATTENZIONE AL CONDENSATORE AD ALTA
TENSIONE: PUO ESSERE CARICO
Il condensatore ad alta tensione rimane carico per circa
60secondi dopolo spegnimentodelforno.Occorrequindi
spettare 60 secondi prima di cortocircuitare, utilizzando
un cacciavite con impugnatura isolata, il collegamento
del condensatore ad alta tensione (cioè del conduttore
di collegamento del raddrizzatore ad alta tensione) sul
telaio del forno.
Sharp raccomanda, nei limiti del possibile, che la ricerca
dei guasti avvenga in assenza di alimentazione elettrica.
In alcuni casi tuttavia, può essere necessario alimentare
l'apparecchio dopo aver rimosso la scatola esterna. In
questo caso eseguire i tre controlli sopra citati e quindi
scollegare i connettori dal primario del trasformatore.
Assicurarsichetali connettori nonvengano acontattocon
altri componenti, ne con il telaio del forno (fare uso, se
necessario, di nastro isolante).Al termine dell'intervento,
eseguirenuovamentei trecontrolli ericollegareiconduttori
al primario del trasformatore.
QUATTRO VERIFICHE IMPORTANTI DA NON
DIMENTICARE
1) Ricollegaretuttii conduttori staccatidaivaricomponenti
durante l'intervento.
2) Rimontare la scatola esterna.
3) Ripristinare l'alimentazione elettrica.
4) Rimettereinfunzioneil forno.Controllaretutte lefunzioni.
I forni a microonde non devono mai funzionare a vuoto.Per
verificare la presenza di energia da microonde all'interno
di una cavitá, mettere una tazza di acqua fredda sul piatto
rotante del forno, chiudere la porta, regolare la potenza su
HIGH ed impostate il temporizzatore su due (2) minuti.
Trascorsi i due minuti (temporizzatore a zero), controllare
accuratamente che ora l'acqua sia calda. Se l'acqua è
rimasta fredda, eseguire i tre controlli iniziali e verificare
nuovamente i collegamenti del componente in questione.
Dopo aver portato a termine le operazioni di manutenzione
erimontatoilforno,ènecessario controllarelapotenzadelle
microonde emesse ed eseguire un test per verificare che
non vi sia alcuna dispersione.

OVEN THERMISTOR (1)
The thermistor is a negative temperature coefficient type.
The temperature in the exhaust duct is detected through
the resistance of the thermistor.
If the temperature is high, the control panel will display
“EE7” and the oven will stop to avoid overheating and
catching fire.
If the thermistor is open, the control panel will display
"EE6" and the oven will stop.
OVEN THERMISTOR (2)
This thermistor detects temperature of the oven cavity
bottom plate. The thermistor is a negative temperature
coefficient type. The temperature is detected through the
resistance of the thermistor.
If the temperature is high, the control will display “EE17”
and the oven will stop.
MAGNETRON THERMISTOR
The thermistor is a negative temperature coefficient type.
The air temperature around the upper magnetron is de-
tected through the resistance of the thermistor.
If the temperature is high, the control panel will display
"EE17" and the oven will stop to protect the lower magn-

Isolate the magnetron from high voltage circuit by removing all leads connected to filament terminal.
Totestfor anopencircuitfilament useanohmmeter to makeacontinuity testbetweenthemagnetron
filament terminals, the meter should show a reading of less than 1 ohm.
To test for short circuit filament to anode condition, connect ohmmeter between one of the filament
terminalsandthe caseofthe magnetron(ground).This testshouldbe indicatedaninfiniteresistance.
If a low or zero resistance reading is obtained then the magnetron should be replaced.
MICROWAVE OUTPUT POWER (1 litre water load)
The following test procedure should be carried out with the microwave oven in a fully assembled
condition (outer case fitted). Microwave output power from the magnetron can be measured by way
of IEC 60705, i.e. it is measured by how much power the water load can absorb. To measure the
microwave output power in the microwave oven, the relation of calorie and watt is used. When P(W)
heating works for t(second), approximately P x t/4.187 calorie is generated. On the other hand, if the
temperature of the water with V(ml) rises ∆T (°C) during this microwave heating period, the calorie of
the water is V x ∆T.
Measuring condition:
1. Container
The water container must be a cylindrical borosilicate glass vessel having a maximum material
thickness of 3 mm and an outside diameter of approximately 190 mm.
2. Temperature of the oven and vessel
The oven and the empty vessel are at ambient temperature prior to the start the test.
3. Temperature of the water
The initial temperature of the water is (10±1)°C.
4. Selecttheinitialandfinalwatertemperaturesothatthemaximumdifferencebetweenthefinalwater
temperature and the ambient temperature is 5°C.
5. Selectstirring devicesand measuringinstrumentsinordertominimizeadditionorremovalofheat.
6. The graduation of the thermometer must be scaled by 0.1°C at minimum and be an accurate
thermometer.
7. The water load must be (1000±5) g.
8. “t”ismeasured while themicrowavegeneratoris operatingatfullpower. Magnetron filamentheat-
up time is not included.
NOTE:Theoperation timeofthe microwaveovenis“t +3”sec. (3sec.ismagnetron filamentheat-uptime.)
Measuring method:
1. Measure the initial temperature of the water before the water is added to the vessel.
(Example: The initial temperature T1 = 11°C)
2. Add the 1 litre water to the vessel.
3. Place the load on the centre of the shelf.
4. Operate the microwave oven at HIGH until the temperature of the water rises by a value ∆T of
(10 ±2) K.
5. Stir the water to equalize temperature throughout the vessel.
6. Measure the final water temperature. (Example: The final temperature T2 = 21°C)
7. Calculate the microwave power output P in watts from above formula.
NEVER TOUCH ANY PART IN THE CIRCUIT WITH YOUR HAND OR AN INSULATED TOOL
WHILE THE OVEN IS IN OPERATION.
The formula is as follows;
P x t / 4.187 = V x ∆T+ 0.55 x mc (T2-T0) P (W) = 4.187 x V x ∆T / t + 0.55 x mc (T2-T0)/t
Our condition for water load is as follows:
Room temperature (T0) ...... around 20°C Power supply Voltage.............. Rated voltage
Water load.....................................1000 g Initial temperature (T1) ...................... 10±1°C

The equation is “P = 150 x ∆T” [for R-22AM] .......................... P = 150 x 10°C = 1500 Watts
The equation is “P = 180 x ∆T” [for R-23AM/23AT] ................ P = 180 x 10°C = 1800 Watts
JUDGMENT: The measured output power should be within the range of ±15 % of the rated output
power.

CONTROL PANEL ASSEMBLY TEST FOR R-23AM / R-22AM
The control panel consists of circuits including semiconductors such as LSI etc. Therefore, unlike
conventional microwave ovens, proper maintenance cannot be performed with only a voltmeter and
ohmmeter. In this service manual, the touch control panel assembly is divided into three units, Control
Unit, Switch Unit and Encoder Unit troubleshooting by unit replacement is described according to the
symptoms indicated.
1. Switch Unit Note : Check the lead wire harness connections among big and small switch units
and control unit before replacement.
The following symptoms indicate a defective switch unit. Replace the switch unit.
a) When touching the buttons, a certain button produces no signal at all.
b) When touching the buttons, sometimes a button produces no signal.
2. Encoder Note : Check the lead wire connection between encoder and control unit before
replacement.
The following symptoms indicate a defective encoder. Replace the encoder.
a) When rotating the encoder, the cooking time can not be entered.
3. Control Unit
The following symptoms may indicate a defective control unit. Replacing the control unit. Before
replacing the control unit, perform the switch unit test (Procedure P) to determine if control unit is
faulty.
3-1 Programming problems.
a) When touching the buttons, a certain group of buttons do not produce a signal.
3-2 Display problems.
a) For a certain digit, all or some segments do not light up.
b) For a certain digit, brightness is low.
c) Only one indicator does not light.
d) The corresponding segments of all digits do not light up; or they continue to light up.
e) Wrong figure appears.
f) A certain group of indicators do not light up.
g) The figure of all digits flicker.
3-3 Other possible problems caused by defective control unit.
a) Buzzer does not sound or continues to sound.
b) Cooking is not possible.
CARRY OUT 3D CHECKS.
If the display fails to clear when the STOP/CLEAR pad is depressed, first verify the flat ribbon cable is
making good contact, verify that the door sensing switch (stop switch ) operates properly; that is the
contactsareclosedwhenthedoorisclosedandopenwhenthedoorisopen.Ifthedoorsensingswitch
(stopswitch)isgood,disconnect the flat ribbon cable thatconnectsthekeyunit to the control unit and
make sure the door sensing switch is closed (either close the door or short the stop switch connector
). Use the key unit matrix indicated on the control panel schematic and place a jumper wire between
the pins that correspond to the STOP/CLEAR pad making momentary contact. If the control unit
responds by clearing with a beep, the key unit is faulty and must be replaced. If the control unit does
not respond, it is faulty and must be replaced. If a specific pad does not respond, the above method
may be used (after clearing the control unit ) to determine if the control unit or key pad is at fault.
