• Proper operation of the microwave ovens  
requires that the magnetron be properly  
assembled to the waveguide and cavity.  
Never operate the magnetron unless it is  
properly installed.  
diation or energy, visually check the oven for  
damage to the door and door seal before  
operating the oven. Use your microwave sur-  
vey meter to check the amount of leakage  
before servicing. In the event that the R.F.  
Ieakage exceeds 4 mw/cm2 at 5 cm, appropri-  
ate repair must be made before continuing to  
service the unit. Check interlock function by  
operating the door latch. The oven cook cycle  
should cut off before the door can be opened.  
• Be sure the “RF” seal is not damaged, and  
assembled around the magnetron dome  
properly when installing the magnetron.  
• Routine service safety procedures should  
be exercised at all times.  
• Untrained personnel should not attempt  
service without a thorough review of the test  
procedures and safety information contained  
in this manual.  
The door and latching assembly contains the  
radio frequency energy within the oven. The  
door is protected by three safety interlock  
switches. Do not attempt to defeat them. Un-  
der no circumstances should you try to oper-  
ate the oven with the door open.  
PRECAUTIONS TO BE OBSERVED BEFORE AND DUR-  
ING SERVICING TO AVOID POSSIBLE EXPOSURE TO  
EXCESSIVE MICROWAVE ENERGY.  
1. Do not operate or allow the oven to be  
operated with the door open.  
check the magnetron, wave guide or trans-  
mission line, and cavity for proper align-  
ment, integrity, and connections.  
2. Make the following safety checks on all  
ovens to be serviced before activating the  
magnetron or other microwave source,  
and make repairs as necessary:  
4. Any defective or misadjusted components  
in the interlock, monitor, door seal, and  
microwave generation and transmission  
systems shall be repaired, replaced, or  
adjusted by procedures described in this  
manual before the oven is released to the  
owner.  
a)Interlock Operation.  
b)Proper Door Closing.  
c) Seal and Sealing Surfaces (Arcing,  
Wear, and Other Damage).  
5. A microwave leakage check to verify com-  
pliance with the Federal performance  
standard should be performed on each  
oven prior to release to the owner.  
d)Damage to or Loosening of Hinges and  
Latches.  
e)Evidence of Dropping or Abuse.  
3. Before turning on microwave power for  
any service test or inspection within the  
microwave generating compartments,  
6. Do not attempt to operate the oven if the  
door glass is broken.

CAUTION  
Whirlpool microwave ovens have a monitoring  
system designed to assure proper operation  
of the safety interlock systems.  
WARNING  
The interlock monitor switch will immediately  
cause the oven fuse to blow if the door is  
opened while the following combined failure  
exists:  
DISCONNECT FROM POWER SUPPLY  
BEFORE SERVICING.  
CAUTION: HIGH VOLTAGES ARE  
PRESENT DURING THE COOK  
CYCLE. EXTREME CAUTION  
SHOULD BE OBSERVED AT ALL  
TIMES.  
Primary door interlock switch and/or second-  
ary interlock switch contacts failed in a closed  
position.  
CAUTION: REPLACE BLOWN  
FUSE WITH 15 AMPERE CLASS H  
FUSE ONLY.  
CAUTION: DO NOT TOUCH  
OVEN COMPONENTS OR WIR-  
ING DURING OVEN OPERATION.  
ATTACH METER LEADS WITH  
ALLIGATOR CLIPS WHEN MAK-  
ING OPERATIONAL TESTS.  
Before replacing the blown oven fuse, test the  
upper and lower door interlock switches, cook  
relay or latch relay, and interlock monitor switch  
(middle switch) for proper operation as de-  
scribed in the component test procedures.  
DO NOT ATTEMPT TO REPAIR STICKING  
CONTACTS OF ANY INTERLOCK SWITCH,  
SAFETY SWITCH, OR COOK (LATCH) RE-  
LAY (REPLACE SWITCHES).  
CAUTION: IT IS NEITHER NEC-  
ESSARY NOR ADVISABLE TO  
ATTEMPT MEASUREMENT OF  
HIGH VOLTAGES.  
Any indication of sticking contacts during com-  
ponent test requires replacement of that com-  
ponent to assure reliability of the safety inter-  
lock system.  
CAUTION: BEFORE TOUCHING  
ANY OVEN COMPONENTS OR  
WIRING, ALWAYS UNPLUG THE  
OVEN FROM ITS POWER  
SOURCE AND DISCHARGE THE  
CAPACITOR BY USING A  
20,000-OHM DISCHARGE RESIS-  
TOR.  
IF THE FUSE IS BLOWN, THE MONITOR,  
PRIMARY INTERLOCK AND SECONDARY  
INTERLOCK SWITCHES MUST ALSO BE  
REPLACED. BE SURE THEY ARE PROP-  
ERLY CONNECTED.

R.F. LEAKAGE TEST  
When checking for R.F. Ieakage, use an ap-  
proved R.F. measuring device to assure less  
than 4 mw/cm2 emission at 5 cm distance with  
a maximum scan rate of 2.5 cm/second, in  
compliance with U.S. Government Department  
of Health, Education and Welfare 21 CFR1030,  
performance Standard for Microwave Ovens.  
CAUTION  
EQUIPMENT  
• Electromagnetic energy leakage monitor  
(NARDA 8100B, HOLADAY H1501).  
• 600 ml glass beaker.  
A properly operating door and seal assembly  
will normally register small emissions, but they  
must be no greater than 4 mw/cm2 to allow for  
measurement uncertainty.  
• Glass thermometer 100°C or 212°F.  
TEST  
On every service call, checks for microwave  
energy emission must be made according to  
the following manner.  
NOTE: Enter leakage readings in space BE-  
FORE and AFTER on the service document.  
All microwave ovens exceeding the emission  
level of 4 mw/cm2 must be reported to Dept. of  
Service for microwave ovens immediately and  
the owner should be told not to use the micro-  
wave oven until it has been repaired com-  
pletely.  
1. Remove the cooking rack from the oven  
cavity, if the microwave oven is so  
equipped.  
2. Place a 250 ML (8.0 oz.) glass of water in  
the center of the oven bottom.  
3. Select “HIGH” cook power, turn the mi-  
crowave oven on, and test for R.F. Ieakage  
at the following locations using the pat-  
tern shown below:  
If a microwave oven is found to operate with  
the door open, report to Dept. of Service, the  
manufacturer and CDRH* immediately. Also  
tell the owner not to use the oven.  
a) Around the cabinet at the front.  
b) Around the door.  
* CDRH: Center for Device and Radiological Health, Food  
and Drug Administration.  
c) Across the console panel.  
d) Horizontally across the door.  
e) Vertically across the door.  
The interlock monitor switch acts as the final  
safety switch protecting the customer from  
microwave radiation. If the interlock monitor  
switch operated to blow the fuse when the  
interlocks failed you must replace all interlock  
switches—primary and secondary interlock  
switches and the monitor switch with new  
ones because the contacts of those interlock  
switches may be melted and welded together.  
f)  
Diagonally across the door.  
g) Across the air vents.  
h) Across the rear air vent.  
i)  
j)  
All lockseams.  
Weld at bottom.  
k) Bottom plate.  
I) Oven feet.  
All repairs must be performed in such a man-  
ner that microwave energy emissions are mini-  
mal.  
4. The scan speed is one inch per second.

THEORY OF OPERATION  
Relay 4 controls the speed of the blower motor  
through the contol panel. The base thermal  
fuse will also turn the blower motor on to its  
low speed if the temperature reaches 133˚F.  
The schematic configuration for relay 4 is  
shown in the following diagram. The relay is  
explained in further detail on the following  
The microwave oven is powered by the 120-  
volt line. Whenever the door is closed and a  
cooking function is programmed through the  
control panel’s keypad, relay contacts on the  
control board close, and complete a circuit  
from the L1 side to the neutral side of the line.  
The control board uses five relays to operate  
the various functions of the microwave oven  
(see below). The relays are controlled by the  
microcomputer on the control board, and per-  
form the functions shown below.

The normally-closed (N.C.) contacts of relay 4 provide a potential circuit for the Base Thermal  
Fuse. If the base of the oven exceeds 133˚F, the thermal fuse contacts close, and a circuit for  
the low-speed side of the blower motor is completed, which turns the motor on. The low-speed  
blower will operate until the base temperature drops below 104˚F and opens the thermal fuse  
contacts, and turns off.

COMPONENT DESCRIPTION & TESTING  
IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS  
CAUTION  
Warning To Service Technicians!  
To avoid possible exposure to microwave radiation or energy, visually check the oven for damage to the  
door and door seal before operating any oven. Use a microwave survey meter to check the amount of  
leakage before servicing. In the event the R.F. Ieakage exceeds 4 mW/cm at 5 cm, appropriate repair must  
be made before continuing to service the unit. Check interlock function by operating the door latch. The  
oven cook cycle should cut off before the door can be opened.  
The door and latching assembly contains the radio frequency energy within the oven. The door is protected  
by three safety interlock switches. Do not attempt to defeat them.  
UNDER NO CIRCUMSTANCES SHOULD YOU TRY TO OPERATE THE OVEN WITH THE DOOR OPEN.  
• Proper operation of microwave ovens requires that the magnetron be properly assembled to the  
waveguide and cavity. Never operate the magnetron unless it is properly installed.  
• Be sure the “RF” seal is not damaged and is assembled around the magnetron dome properly when  
installing the magnetron.  
• Routine service safety procedures should be exercised at all times.  
• Untrained personnel should not attempt service without a thorough review of test procedures and safety  
information contained in this manual.  
PRECAUTIONS TO BE OBSERVED BEFORE AND  
DURING SERVICING TO AVOID POSSIBLE EXPOSURE  
TO EXCESSIVE MICROWAVE ENERGY  
A. Do not operate or allow the oven to be operated with the door open.  
B. Make the following safety checks on all ovens to be serviced before activating the magnetron or other  
microwave source and make repairs as necessary.  
1. Interlock Operation  
2. Proper Door Closing  
3. Seal and Sealing Surfaces (Arcing, Wear and Other Damage)  
4. Damage to or Loosening of Hinges and Latches  
5. Evidence of Dropping or Abuse  
C. Before turning on the microwave power for any service test or inspection within the microwave  
generating components, check the magnetron, wave guide or transmission line and cavity for proper  
alignment.  
D. Any defective or misadjusted components in the interlock, monitor, door seal and microwave  
generation and transmission system shall be repaired or adjusted by procedures described in the  
Basic Service Manuals for the specific microwave oven being serviced before the oven is released  
to the owner.  
E. A microwave leakage check to verify compliance with Federal Performance Standards should be  
performed on each oven prior to release to the owner.  
F. Do not attempt to operate the oven if the door glass is broken.

Whirlpool microwave ovens have a monitoring system designed to assure proper operation of the safety  
interlock systems.  
The interlock monitor switch will immediately cause the oven fuse to blow if the door is opened and the  
primary door interlock switch and/or the secondary interlock switch contacts fail in a closed position.  
CAUTION: REPLACE BLOWN FUSE WITH 15 AMPERE CLASS H FUSE ONLY.  
Test the upper and lower door interlock switches, cook relay and interlock monitor switch (middle switch)  
for proper operation as described in the component test procedures, before replacing the blown oven fuse.  
DO NOT ATTEMPT TO REPAIR STICKING CONTACTS OF ANY INTERLOCK SWITCH, SAFETY  
SWITCH OR COOK (LATCH) RELAY. REPLACE THE SWITCHES AND RELAY.  
Any indication of sticking contacts during component tests requires replacement of that component to  
assure reliability of the safety interlock system.  
IF THE FUSE IS BLOWN, THE MONITOR, PRIMARY AND SECONDARY INTERLOCK SWITCHES MUST  
BE REPLACED. BE SURE THEY ARE PROPERLY CONNECTED.  
Precautions to Avoid Possible Exposure  
to Excessive Microwave Energy  
DO NOT attempt to operate the oven with the door open since open-door operation can result  
in harmful exposure to microwave energy. It is important not to defeat or tamper with the safety  
interlocks.  
DO NOT place any object between the oven front face and the door or allow soil or cleaner  
residue to accumulate on sealing surfaces.  
DO NOT operate the oven if it is damaged. It is particularly important that the oven door close  
properly and that there is no damage to the:  
1. Door (bent).  
2. Hinges and Latches (broken or loosened).  
3. Door Seals and Sealing Surfaces.  
DO NOT operate the microwave oven if the door window is broken.  
The microwave oven should be checked for microwave leakage by qualified service personnel  
after a repair is made.  
The oven should not be adjusted or repaired by anyone except properly qualified service  
personnel.  
DO NOT operate the microwave oven with the outer cabinet removed.

CAUTION  
WARNING  
• High voltages are present during the cook  
cycle. Extreme caution should be observed  
at all times.  
• Disconnect the oven from electrical supply be-  
fore servicing. Failure to do so could result in  
electrical shock or death.  
• Abrasive cleansers, steel-wool pads, gritty  
wash cloths, etc. can damage the control panel  
and the interior and exterior oven surfaces. Use  
a sponge with mild detergent or paper towels  
with spray glass cleaner. Apply spray glass  
cleaner to paper towel. Do not spray directly  
on oven.  
• Improper use of the grounding plug can result  
in a risk of electrical shock. Do not, under any  
circumstance, cut or remove the third ground  
prong from the power cord plug.  
Fire, Electrical Shock, Excessive  
Exposure to Microwave Energy,  
Personal Injury & Product  
Damage Hazard  
• Before touching any oven component or wir-  
ing, always unplug the oven from its power  
source and discharge the capacitor by using a  
20,000 ohm discharge resistor or use an insu-  
lated plastic handle screwdriver to short across  
the capacitor terminals.  
• Do not block the rear air intake openings or  
exhaust vents. Allow a few inches of space at  
the back of the oven where intake openings  
and exhaust vents are located. Blocking the air  
intake openings and exhaust vents can cause  
damage to the oven and poor cooking results.  
Make sure the microwave oven legs are in  
place to ensure proper airflow.  
• Check that the unit is grounded before trouble-  
shooting. Be careful of the high voltage circuits.  
Discharge any static charge from your body by  
touching ground before handling any part of the  
circuitry on the control board. Electrostatic dis-  
charge may damage the control circuit.  
• Do not install the oven next to or over a heat  
source (a cooktop or range).  
• Do not touch oven components or wiring dur-  
ing operation. Attach meter leads with alligator  
clips when making operational tests.  
• Do not install oven in any area where exces-  
sive heat and steam are generated. This could  
cause fire, electrical shock, excessive exposure  
to microwave energy, other personal injury or  
damage to the outside of the cabinet.  
• For continued protection against radiation emis-  
sion, replace only with these types of switches:  
Primary (Interlock) Switch: SZM-V16-FA-63 or  
VP-533A-OF; Secondary (Interlock) Switch:  
SZM-V01-FA-32; Interlock (Monitor) Switch:  
SZM-Vl6-FA-62 or VP-532A-OF; Oven Lamp  
Switch: SZM-V6-FA-31 or VP-331A-OD.  
• It is neither necessary nor advisable to attempt  
measurement of high voltage.  
• Attaching the adaptor ground terminal to the  
wall receptacle cover screw does not ground  
the appliance unless the cover screw is metal  
and not insulated and the wall receptacle is  
grounded through the house wiring.

THE BLOWER MOTOR CAPACITOR  
The blower motor capacitor is located below  
the air duct at the indicated location. It is in  
use any time the blower (vent) motor is oper-  
ating. The capacitor helps to maintain a con-  
stant voltage to the blower motor so that it  
runs more efficiently.

THE GAS SENSOR  
depending upon the humidity of the oven.  
The gas sensor is used during the Sensor  
Cookoperation of the oven. It is located  
above the oven and is mounted on the left side  
of the sensor cover. The sensor consists of  
two circuits housed on a small microcomputer  
board that is supplied with a current to keep it  
heated. The sensor heat conductivity will vary,  
Changing humidity conditions, due to the cook-  
ing process within the oven cavity, causes a  
difference in potential between these two cir-  
cuits. This difference is monitored by the mi-  
crocomputer during cooking, allowing the mi-  
crocomputer to determine the proper cook  
time.  
NOTE: Always verify that the sensor cover is  
not obstructed (proper air flow is passing over  
the sensor), and that the fan motor is working  
properly, before replacing the gas sensor.  
TESTING  
1. Set the ohmmeter to the R x 1  
scale.  
2. Remove the 3-pin connector from  
the control circuit board and mea-

THE CONVECTION THERMISTOR  
The convection thermistor is located under  
the circulation pulley cover and is used during  
the convection operation of the oven. When  
the temperature increases, the resistance of  
the thermistor decreases. The thermistor re-  
sistance is monitored by the microcomputer.  
As the oven temperature rises and falls, the  
thermistor signal going back to the microcom-  
puter causes the heater relay to open and  
close, and cycles the heating element on and  
off.  
NOTE: Verify that the heating element is work-  
ing correctly before replacing a thermistor.  
TESTING  
1. Set the ohmmeter to the R x 10K  
scale.  
2. Remove the 6-pin connector from  
the control circuit board and mea-

interlock switches, and the monitor switch),  
because their contacts may be melted and  
welded together.  
All repairs must be performed so that micro-  
wave energy emissions are minimal.

To measure for oven leakage:  
MAKING THE MEASUREMENTS  
Measuring The Oven With The  
Cabinet Installed  
1. Pour 275 ( 25cc) of water into a 600 cc  
graduated beaker.  
2. Place the beaker into the center of the  
microwave oven.  
MEASUREMENT NOTES:  
When measuring for leakage, use the 2"  
(5 cm ) spacer that is provided with the  
probe.  
3. Set the energy leakage monitor to 2,450  
MHz, and use it according to the  
manufacturers recommended test pro-  
cedure to obtain the correct results.  
Leakage with the outer panels removed  
should be less than 5 mW/cm.sq.  
4. Measure the microwave radiation with an  
electromagnetic radiation monitor. Hold  
the probe perpendicular to the surface  
being measured, and measure around  
the door viewing window, the exhaust  
opening, and air inlet openings.  
Leakage for a fully assembled oven (before  
the lamp switch primary is interrupted) with  
the door opened slightly, should be less  
than 2 mW/cm.sq.  
Do not exceed the meters full-scale deflec-  
tion.  
5. Operate the oven at its maximum energy  
output, and take the measurements.  
Do not move the test probe along the mea-  
suring surfaces faster than 1-inch-per-sec-  
ond (2.5 cm/sec), otherwise a false reading  
will occur.  
Measuring The Oven With The  
Cabinet Removed  
When the magnetron has been replaced, use  
the previous procedure, and measure for mi-  
crowave energy leakage after all of the neces-  
sary components are replaced or adjusted,  
and before the cabinet is installed. Take spe-  
cial care to measure around the magnetron  
and the waveguide. WARNING: Be careful  
not to contact any of the high voltage com-  
ponents when making measurements with  
the cabinet removed.  
When testing near a corner of the door,  
keep the probe perpendicular to the sur-  
face, and move it horizontally without touch-  
ing the surfaces, otherwise a false reading  
will occur.  
Hold the test probe by its gripping surface  
only, otherwise a false reading will occur.

The time (in seconds) for the temperature of  
the water to rise by a value of 10˚C 2˚ is  
measured. The initial and final water tem-  
peratures are selected so that the maximum  
difference between the final water tempera-  
ture, and the ambient temperature, is 5˚C.  
MEASURING MICROWAVE  
POWER OUTPUT USING THE  
IEC-705 RATING STANDARD  
When determining the microwave ovens power  
output using the IEC-705 rating standard, the  
following conditions must be met:  
The microwave power output (in watts) is  
calculated, using the following formula:  
When making microwave power output mea-  
surements, the oven is supplied with its  
rated line voltage, and operated at its maxi-  
mum power output setting with a load of  
1000 ( 5) cc of potable water.  
(L) 4187 (T)  
P =

L = time (in seconds).  
The water is contained in a cylindrical boro-  
P = microwave output power.  
(T) = temperature rise.  
silicate glass vessel having a maximum  
1
material thickness of /8" and an outside  
diameter of approximately 7.6".  
Microwave power output is measured with  
the oven operating at full power. The mag-  
netron filament heat-up time (approximately  
2-seconds) is not included.  
The oven and the empty vessel are at ambi-  
ent temperature prior to the start of the test.  
The initial temperature of the water is 10˚C  
2˚ (50˚F). It is measured immediately be-  
fore the water is added to the vessel. After  
addition of the water to the vessel, the load  
is immediately placed on the center of the  
shelf, which is in the lowest position, and  
the microwave power switched on.  
The water is stirred to equalize the tempera-  
ture throughout the vessel, prior to measur-  
ing the final water temperature.  
Stirring devices and measuring instruments  
are selected to minimize the addition or  
removal of heat.

control circuit board:  
4. The buzzer does not sound, or continues  
to sound.  
5. Some segments of one or more digits do  
not light up, or they continue to light up,  
or segments light when they should not.  
6. Wrong figures appear on the display.  
7. The digits on the display flicker.  
8. Some of the indicators do not light.  
9. The clock does not keep the proper time.  
1. The START function fails to operate, but  
the high voltage systems, the interlock  
switches, the door sensing, and the relay  
checks are good.
