CONNECTED COMPONENTS RELAY
Oven lamp, Fan motor, Turntable motor RY1
Power transformer RY2
1. Rated voltage is supplied to the primary winding of the
power transformer. The voltage is converted to about
3.3 volts A.C. output on the filament winding and high
voltage of approximately 2000 volts A.C. on the
secondary winding.
2. The filament winding voltage (3.3 volts) heats the
magnetron filament and the high voltage (2000 volts) is
sent to the voltage doubling circuit, where it is doubled
to negative voltage of approximately 4000 volts D.C..
3. The 2450 MHz microwave energy produced in the
magnetron generates a wave length of 12.24 cm. This
energy is channelled through the waveguide (transport
channel) into the oven cavity, where the food is placed
to be cooked.
4. When the cooking time is up, a signal tone is heard and
the relays RY1+RY2 go back to their home position.
The circuits to the oven lamp, power transformer, fan
motor and turntable motor are cut off.
5. When the door is opened during a cook cycle, the
switches come to the following condition

and 2nd. interlock relay control switch are made open.
The oven lamp remains on even if the oven door is
opened after the cooking cycle has been interrupted,
because the relay RY1 stays closed. Shown in the
display is the remaining time.
6. MONITOR SWITCH CIRCUIT
The monitor switch is mechanically controlled by
oven door, and monitors the operation of the 1st. latch
switch and 2nd. interlock relay.
6-1 When the oven door is opened during or after the
cycle of a cooking program, the 1st. latch switch and
2nd. interlock relay control switch must open their
contacts first.
After that the contacts (COM-NC) of the monitor
switch can be closed.
6-2. When the oven door is closed, the contacts (COM-
NC) of the monitor switch must be opened. After that
the contacts of the 1st. latch switch and 2nd. interlock

FUNCTION OF IMPORTANT COMPONENTS
OVEN TEMPERATURE FUSE
The temperature fuse, located on the top of the oven
cavity, is designed to prevent damage to the oven by fire.
If the food load is overcooked, by either error in cook time
or defect in the control unit, the temperature fuse will open.
Under normal operation, the temperature fuse remains
closed. However, when abnormally high temperatures are
reached within the oven cavity, the temperature fuse will
open at 150˚C, causing the oven to shut down.
MAGNETRON TEMPERATURE FUSE
The 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.
Under normal operation, the temperature fuse remains
closed. However, when abnormally high temperatures are
reached within the magnetron, the temperature fuse will
open at 150˚C causing the oven to shut down.
TURNTABLE MOTOR
The turntable motor drives the turntable roller assembly to
rotate the turntable.
FAN MOTOR
Thefan motor drivesa blade whichdraws external coolair.
This cool air is directed through the air vents surrounding
the magnetron and cools the magnetron. This air is chan-
nelled through the oven cavity to remove steam and
vapours given off from the heating foods. It is then ex-
hausted through the exhausting air vents at the oven
cavity.
NOISE FILTER
The noise filter prevents the radio frequency interference
that might flow back in the power circuit.
DOOR OPEN MECHANISM
he door is opened by pushing the open button on the
control panel, refer to the Figure D-1.
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 latch hook. Now the door will open.

SERVICING
WARNING TO SERVICE PERSONNEL
Microwave ovens contain circuitry capable of producing very high voltage and current, contact with following parts
of the high voltage circuit will result in electrocution. High voltage capacitor, Power transformer, Magnetron, High
voltage rectifier assembly, High voltage fuse, High voltage harness.
REMEMBER TO CHECK 3D
1) Disconnect the supply.
2) Door opened, and wedged open.
3) Discharge the high voltage capacitor.
WARNING: AGAINST THE CHARGE OF THE
HIGH-VOLTAGE CAPACITOR
The high-voltage capacitor remains charged about
60 seconds after the oven has been switched off.
Wait for 60 seconds and then short-circuit the
connection of the high-voltage capacitor (that is, of
the connecting lead of the high-voltage rectifier)
against the chassis with the use of an insulated
screwdriver.
Sharp recommend that wherever possible fault-finding
is carried out with the supply disconnected. It may in,
some cases, be necessary to connect the supply after
the outer case has been removed, in this event carry
out 3D checks and then disconnect the leads to the
primary of the power transformer. Ensure that these
leads remain isolated from other components and the
oven chassis. (Use insulation tape if necessary.) When
the testing is completed carry out 3D checks and
reconnect the leads to the primary of the power trans-
former.
REMEMBER TO CHECK 4R
1) Reconnect all leads removed from components
during testing.
2) Replace the outer case (cabinet).
3) Reconnect the supply.
4) Run the oven. Check all functions.
Microwave ovens should not be run empty. To test for
the presence of microwave energy within a cavity,
place a cup of cold water on the oven turntable, close
the door and set the microwave timer for two (2)
minutes. Set the power level to HIGH and push the
START button. When the two minutes has elapsed
(timer at zero) carefully check that the water is now hot.
If the water remains cold carry out 3D checks and re-
examine the connections to the component being
tested.
When troubleshooting the microwave oven, it is helpful to
follow the Sequence of Operation in performing the
checks. Many of the possible causes of trouble will require
that a specific test be performed. These tests are given a
procedure letter which will be found in the "Test Procedure
"section.
When all service work is completed, and the oven is fully assembled, the microwave power output should be
checked and microwave leakage test should be carried out.

NEVER TOUCH ANY PART IN THE CIRCUIT WITH YOUR HAND OR AN INSULATED TOOL
WHILE THE OVEN IS IN OPERATION.
CARRY OUT 3D CHECK.
Isolate the magnetron from high voltage circuit by removing all leads connected to filament terminal.
To test for an open circuit filament use an ohmmeter to make a continuity test between the magnetron
filament terminals, the meter should show a reading of less than 1 ohm.
To test for short filament to anode condition, connect ohmmeter between one of the filament terminals
and the case of the magnetron (ground). This test should be indicated an infinite resistance. 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 IEC
test procedure, i.e. it can be measured by using water load how much it can be absorbed by the water
load. 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.
The formula is as follows;
P x t / 4.187 = V x ∆T+ 0.55 x mc (T2-T0)/4.187
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°CPower supply Voltage.............. Rated voltage
Water load..................................1000 g Initial temperature (T1) ...................... 10±1°C
Heating time.............................. 38 sec. Mass of container (mc)......................... 330 g
T2............................ Final Temperature P = 110 x ∆T + 0.55 x mc (T2-T0)/38
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 of the test.
3. Temperature of the water
The initial temperature of the water is (10±1)˚C.
4. Select the initial and final water temperature so that the maximum difference between the final
water temperature and the ambient temperature is 5˚C.
5. Select stirring devices and measuring instruments in order to minimize addition or removal of heat.
6. The graduation of the thermometer must be scaled by 0.1˚C at minimum and an accurate
thermometer.
7. The water load must be (1000±5) g.
8. “t” is measured while the microwave generator is operating at full power. Magnetron filament heat-
up time is not included.
NOTE: The operation time of the microwave oven is “t + 3” sec. 3 sec. is magnetron filament heat-
up time.
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 for the temperature of the water rises by a value ∆T of
10 ˚C.
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.

WARNING: High voltages and large currents are present at the secondary winding and filament
winding of the power transformer. It is very dangerous to work near this part when
the oven is on. NEVER make any voltage measurements of the high-voltage
circuits, including the magnetron filament.
CARRY OUT 3D CHECKS.
Disconnect the leads to the primary winding of the power transformer. Disconnect the filament and
secondary winding connections from the rest of the HV circuitry. Using an ohmmeter, set on a low
range, it is possible to check the continuity of all three windings. The following readings should be
obtained:
a. Primary winding ....................approx. 1.9 Ω
b. Secondary winding ...............approx. 104 Ω
c. Filament winding...................less than 1Ω
If the reading obtained are not stated as above, then the power transformer is probably faulty and
should be replaced.

1. Precautions for Handling Electronic Components
This unit uses CMOS LSI in the integral part of the circuits.
Whenhandlingtheseparts,thefollowingprecautionsshould
be strictly followed. CMOS LSI have extremely high
impedanceat its inputandoutput terminals. Forthisreason,
itis easily influenced by the surrounding high voltage power
source,staticelectricitychargeinclothes,etc.andsometimes
it is not fully protected by the built-in protection circuit.
In order to protect CMOS LSI.
1) When storing and transporting, thoroughly wrap them in
aluminium foil. Also wrap all PW boards containing them
in aluminium foil.
2) When soldering, ground the technician as shown in the
figure and use grounded soldering iron and work table.
2. Servicing of Touch Control Panel
Wedescribetheprocedures to permit servicing of the touch
control panel of the microwave oven and the precautions
you must take when doing so. To perform the servicing,
power to the touch control panel is available either from the
power line of the oven itself or from an external power
source.
(1) Servicing the touch control panel with power supply
of the oven:
CAUTION:
THE HIGH VOLTAGE TRANSFORMER OF THE
MICROWAVE OVEN IS STILL LIVE DURING
SERVICING AND PRESENTS A HAZARD.
Therefore, before checking the performance of the touch
control panel,
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) Disconnect the leads to the primary of the power
transformer.
5) Ensure that these leads remain isolated from other
components and oven chassis by using insulation
tape.
6) After that procedure, re-connect the power supply
cord.
After checking the performance of the touch control panel,
1) Disconnect the power supply cord.
2) Open the door and block it open.
3) Re-connect the leads to the primary of the power
transformer.
4) Re-install the outer case (cabinet).
5) Re-connect the power supply cord after the outer
case is installed.
6) Run the oven and check all functions.
approx. 1M ohm
TOUCH CONTROL PANEL SERVICING
A. On some models, the power supply cord between the
touch control panel and the oven itself is so short that the
two can’t be separated. For those models, check and
repair all the controls (sensor-related ones included) of
the touch control panel while keeping it connected to the
oven.
B. On some models, the power supply cord between the
touch control panel and the oven proper is long enough
that they may be separated from each other. For those
models, it is possible to check and repair the controls of
the touch control panel while keeping it apart from the
oven proper; in this case you must short both ends of the
door sensing switch (on PWB) of the touch control panel
with a jumper, which activates an operational state that is
equivalent to the oven door being closed. As for the
sensor-relatedcontrolsofthetouchcontrolpanel,checking
them is possible if dummy resistor(s) with resistance
equal to that of the controls are used.
(2) Servicing the touch control panel with power supply
from an external power source:
Disconnect the touch control panel completely from the
oven proper, and short both ends of the door sensing
switch(onPWB)ofthetouchcontrolpanel,whichactivates
an operational state that is equivalent to the oven door
being closed. Connect an external power source to the
power input terminal of the touch control panel, then it is
possible to check and repair the controls of the touch
control panel it is also possible to check the sensor-
related controls of the touch control panel by using the
dummy resistor(s).
3. Servicing Tools
Toolsrequiredtoservicethetouchcontrolpanelassembly.
1) Soldering iron: 30W
(Itisrecommendedtouseasolderingironwithagrounding
terminal.)
2) Oscilloscope: Single beam, frequency range: DC-10MHz
type or more advanced model.
3) Others: Hand tools
4. Other Precautions
1) Before turning on the power source of the control unit,
remove the aluminium foil applied for preventing static
electricity.
2) Connect the connectors of the key unit to the control unit
being sure that the lead wires are not twisted.
3) After aluminium foil is removed, be careful that abnormal
voltage due to static electricity etc. is not applied to the
input or output terminals.
4) Attach connectors, electrolytic capacitors, etc. to PWB,
making sure that all connections are tight.
5) Besure touse specifiedcomponents wherehigh precision
is required.

PRECAUTIONS FOR USING LEAD-FREE SOLDER
1. Employing lead-free solder
The "Main PWB" of this model employs lead-free solder. This is indicated by the "LF" symbol printed on the PWB
and in the service manual. The suffix letter indicates the alloy type of the solder.
Example:
Indicates lead-free solder of tin, silver and copper.
2. Using lead-free wire solder
When repairing a PWB with the "LF" symbol, only lead-free solder should be used. (Using normal tin/lead alloy solder
may result in cold soldered joints and damage to printed patterns.)
As the melting point of lead-free solder is approximately 40˚C higher than tin/lead alloy solder, it is recommend that
a dedicated bit is used, and that the iron temperature is adjusted accordingly.
3. Soldering
As the melting point of lead-free solder (Sn-Ag-Cu) is higher and has poorer wettability, (flow), to prevent damage
to the land of the PWB, extreme care should be taken not to leave the bit in contact with the PWB for an extended
period of time. Remove the bit as soon as a good flow is achieved. The high content of tin in lead free solder will cause
premature corrosion of the bit. To reduce wear on the bit, reduce the temperature or turn off the iron when it is not
required.
Leaving different types of solder on the bit will cause contamination of the different alloys, which will alter their
characteristics, making good soldering more difficult. It will be necessary to clean and replace bits more often when
using lead-free solder. To reduce bit wear, care should be taken to clean the bit thoroughly after each use.
