DESCRIPTION AND FUNCTION OF COMPONENTS
DOOR OPEN MECHANISM
The 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.
Figure D-1. Door Open Mechanism
DOOR SENSING AND SECONDARY INTERLOCK
SWITCHES
The secondary interlock switch is mounted in the lower
position of the latch hook and the door sensing switch in the
primary interlock system is mounted in the upper position of
the latch hook. They are activated by the latch heads on the
door. When the door is opened, the switches interrupt the
power to all high voltage components. A cook cycle cannot
take place until the door is firmly closed thereby activating
both interlock switches. The primary interlock system con-
sists of the door sensing switch and primary interlock relay
located on the control circuit board.
MONITOR SWITCH
The monitor switch is activated (the contacts opened) by the
latch head on the door while the door is closed. The switch
is intended to render the oven inoperative, by means of
blowing the monitor fuse, when the contacts of the primary
interlock relay (RY2) and secondary interlock switch fail to
open when the door is opened.
Functions:
1. When the door is opened, the monitor switch contact close
(to the ON condition) due to their being normally closed. At
this time the primary interlock relay (RY2) and secondary
interlock switch are in the OFF condition (contacts open)
due to their being normally open contact switches.
2. As the door goes to a closed position, the monitor switch
contacts are first opened and then the door sensing switch
and the secondary interlock switch contacts close. (On
opening the door, each of these switches operate inversely.)
3. If the door is opened, and the primary interlock relay
(RY2) and secondary interlock switch contacts fail to
open, the monitor fuse blows simultaneously with closing
of the monitor switch contacts.
CAUTION: BEFORE REPLACING A BLOWN MONITOR
FUSE TEST THE DOOR SENSING SWITCH,
PRIMARY INTERLOCK RELAY (RY2), RELAY
(RY1), SECONDARY INTERLOCK SWITCH
AND MONITOR SWITCH FOR PROPER OP-
ERATION. (REFER TO CHAPTER "TEST PRO-
CEDURE").
NOTE: MONITOR FUSE AND MONITOR SWITCH ARE
REPLACED AS AN ASSEMBLY.
TURNTABLE MOTOR
The turntable motor rotates the turntable located on the
bottom of the oven cavity, so that the foods on the turntable
cook evenly during cooking. The turntable may turn in either
direction.
COOLING FAN MOTOR
The cooling fan motor drives a blade which draws external cool
air. This cool air is directed through the air vanes surrounding
the magnetron and cools the magnetron. This air is channelled
through the oven cavity to remove steam and vapors given off
from the heating foods. It is then exhausted through the
exhausting air vents at the oven cavity.
MONITOR FUSE
1. The monitor fuse blows when the contacts (COM-NO) of
the primary interlock relay (RY2) and secondary interlock
switch remain closed with the oven door open and when
the monitor switch closes.
2. If the wire harness or electrical components are short-
circuited, this monitor fuse blows to prevent an electric
shock or fire hazard.
CAVITY TEMPERATURE FUSE
The cavity 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 cavity temperature fuse will open.
Under normal operation, the cavity temperature fuse remains
closed. However, when abnormally high temperatures are
reached within the oven cavity, the cavity temperature fuse will
open at 302½F(150½C) causing the oven to shut down.
NOTE: This is a fuse. It does not reset.
MAGNETRON TEMPERATURE FUSE
The magnetron 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 magnetron temperature fuse
remains closed. However, when abnormally high tempera-
tures are reached within the magnetron, the magnetron tem-
perature fuse will open at 302½F(150½C) causing the oven to
shut down.
NOTE: This is a fuse. It does not reset.
