TROUBLESHOOTING GUIDE
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 Procedures” section.
INPORTANT: If the oven becomes inoperative because of a
blown fuse in the upper latch-monitor-lower
latch switch circuit, check the upper and
lower latch switches and monitor switch be-
fore replacing the fuse.
