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.

MICROWAVE MEASUREMENT PROCEDURE

Requirements:

  1. Microwave leakage limit (Power density limit): The power density of microwave radiation emitted by a microwave oven should not exceed 1mW/cm2 at any point 5cm or more from the external surface of the oven, measured prior to acquisition by a purchaser, and thereafter (through the useful life of the oven), 5 mW/cm2 at any point 5cm or more from the external surface of the oven.
  2. Safety interlock switches: Primary interlock switch shall prevent microwave radiation emission in excess of the requirement as above mentioned, secondary interlock relay and door sensing switch shall prevent microwave radiation emission in excess of 5 mW/cm2 at any point 5cm or more from the external surface of the oven.

Preparation for testing:
Before beginning the actual measurement of leakage, proceed as follows:

  1. Make sure that the actual instrument is operating normally as specified in its instruction booklet.
    Important:
    Survey instruments that comply with the requirement for instrumentation as prescribed by the performance standard for microwave ovens, 21 CFR 1030.10(c)(3)(i), must be used for testing.

  2. Place the oven tray in the oven cavity.

  3. Place the load of 275±15 ml (9.8 oz) of tap water initially at 20±5˚C (68˚F) in the center of the oven cavity.
    The water container shall be a low form of 600 ml (20 oz) beaker with an inside diameter of approx. 8.5 cm (3-1/2 in.) and made of an electrically nonconductive material such as glass or plastic.
    The placing of this standard load in the oven is important not only to protect the oven, but also to insure that any leakage is measured accurately.

  4. Set the cooking control on Full Power Cooking Mode

  5. Close the door and select a cook cycle of several minutes. If the water begins to boil before the survey is completed, replace it with 275 ml of cool water.

Leakage test:
Closed-door leakage test (microwave measurement)

  1. Grasp the probe of the survey instrument and hold it perpendicular to the gap between the door and the body of the oven.

  2. Move the probe slowly, not faster than 1 in./sec. (2.5 cm/sec.) along the gap, watching for the maximum indication on the meter.

  3. Check for leakage at the door screen, sheet metal seams and other accessible positions where the continuity of the metal has been breached (eg., around the switches, indicator, and vents).
    While testing for leakage around the door pull the door away from the front of the oven as far as is permitted by the closed latch assembly.

  4. Measure carefully at the point of highest leakage and make sure that the highest leakage is no greater than 4mW/cm2, and that the primary interlock switch and the secondary interlock relay do turn the oven OFF before any door movement.

NOTE: After servicing, record data on service invoice and microwave leakage report.

OPERATION

DESCRIPTION OF OPERATING SEQUENCE
The following is a description of component functions during oven operation.

OFF CONDITION
Closing the door activates the door sensing switch and primary interlock switch. (In this condition, the monitor switch contacts are opened.)

When oven is plugged in, 120 volts A.C. is supplied to the control unit. (Figure 0-1).

  1. The display will show “SHARP SIMPLY THE BEST PRESS CLEAR AND PRESS CLOCK”. To set any program or set the clock, you must first touch the STOP/CLEAR button. The display will clear, and ” : ” will appear .

POWER LEVEL P-0 TO P-90 COOKING
When Variable Cooking Power is programmed, the 120 volts A.C. is supplied to the power transformer intermittently through the contacts of relay (RY2) which is operated by the control unit within an interval second time base.

Microwave power operation is as follows:

Note:
The ON/OFF time ratio does not correspond with the percentage of microwave power, because approx. 3 seconds are needed for heating of the magnetron filament.

Microwave power operation is as follows:

VARI-MODE ON TIME OFF TIME

P-10     (approx. 10% power)| | 26 sec.
P-0                      (0% power)| | 32 sec.

SENSOR COOKING CONDITION
Using the Sensor Cooking function, the foods are cooked or defrosted without figuring time, power level or quantity. When the oven senses enough steam from the food, it relays the information to its microprocessor which will calculate the remaining cooking time and power level needed for best results. When the food is cooked, water vapor is developed. The sensor “senses” the vapor and its resistance increases gradually. When the resistance reaches the value set accord-ing to the menu, supplementary cooking is started. The time of supplementary cooking is determined by experiment with each food category and inputted into the LSI.

An example of how sensor works (Baked potatoes):

  1. Potatoes at room temperature. Vapor is emitted very slowly.
  2. Heat potatoes. Moisture and humidity is emitted rapidly. You can smell the aroma as it cooks.
  3. Sensor detects moisture and humidity and calculates cooking time and variable power.

Cooking Sequence.

  1. Operate the oven in sensor cooking mode by referring to operation manual.
    NOTE: The oven should not be operated on Sensor Cooking immediately after plugging in the unit. Wait two minutes before cooking on Sensor Cooking.

  2. The coil of shut-off relay (RY1) is energized, the oven lamp, turntable motor and cooling fan motor are turned on, but the power transformer is not turned on.

  3. After about 32 seconds, the cook relay (RY2) is energized.
    The power transformer is turned on, microwave energy is produced and first stage is started.
    The 32 seconds is the cooling time required to remove any vapor from the oven cavity and sensor.
    NOTE: During this first stage, do not open the door or touch STOP/CLEAR pad.

  4. When the sensor detects the vapor emitted from the food, the display switches over to the remaining cooking time and the timer counts down to zero. At this time, the door may be opened to stir food, turn it or season, etc.

  5. When the timer reaches zero, an audible signal sounds. The shut-off relay and cook relay are de-energized and the power transformer, oven lamp, etc. are turned off.

  6. Opening the door or touching the STOP/CLEAR pad, the time of day will reappear on the display and the oven will revert to an OFF condition.

NOTE:
indicates components with potential above 250V.

ABSOLUTE HUMIDITY SENSOR CIRCUIT

  1. Structure of Absolute Humidity Sensor
    The absolute humidity sensor includes two thermistors as shown in the illustration. One thermistor is housed in the closed vessel filled with dry air while another in the open vessel. Each sensor is provided with the protective cover made of metal mesh to be protected from the external airflow.

  2. Operational Principle of Absolute Humidity Sensor
    The figure below shows the basic structure of an absolute humidity sensor. A bridge circuit is formed by two thermistors and two resistors (R1 and R2). The output of the bridge circuit is to be amplified by the operational amplifier. Each thermistor is supplied with a current to keep it heated at about 150˚C (302˚F), the resultant heat is dissipated in the air and if the two thermistors are placed in different humidity conditions they show different degrees of heat conductivity leading to a potential difference between them causing an output voltage from the bridge circuit, the intensity of which is increased as the absolute humidity of the air increases. Since the output varies by minute, it is amplified by the operational amplifier.

  3. Detector Circuit of Absolute Humidity Sensor Circuit
    This detector circuit is used to detect the output voltage of the absolute humidity circuit to allow the LSI to control sensor cooking of the unit. When the unit is set in the sensor cooking mode, 16 seconds clearing cycle occurs then the detector circuit starts to function and the LSI observes the initial voltage available at its AN1 terminal. With this voltage given, the switches SW1 to SW5 in the LSI are turned on in such a way as to change the resistance values in parallel with R98 ~ R102 of IC2. Changing the resistance values results in that there is the same potential at both F-3 terminal of the absolute humidity sensor and AN0 terminal of the LSI. The voltage of AN1 terminal will indicate about -2.5V. This initial balancing is set up about 16 seconds after the unit is put in the Sensor Cooking mode. As the sensor cooking proceeds, the food is heated to generate moisture by which the resistance balance the bridge circuit is deviated to increase the voltage available at AN1 terminal of the LSI. Then the LSI observes that voltage at AN1 terminal and compares it with its initial value, and when the comparison rate reaches the preset value (fixed for each menu to be cooked), the LSI causes the unit to stop sensor cooking; thereafter, the unit goes in the next operation automatically. When the LSI starts to detect the initial voltage at AN1 terminal 16 seconds after the unit has been put in the Sensor Cooking mode, if it is not possible to balance, of the bridge circuit due to disconnection of the absolute humidity sensor, ERROR will appear on the display and the cooking is stopped.

SERVICING

  1. Precautions for Handling Electronic Components This unit uses CMOS LSI in the integral part of the circuits. When handling these parts, the following precautions should be strictly followed. CMOS LSI have extremely high impedance at its input and output terminals. For this reason, it is easily influenced by the surrounding high voltage power source, static electricity charge in clothes, etc. and sometimes it is not fully protected by the built-in protection circuit.
    In order to protect CMOS LSI.

  2. When storing and transporting, thoroughly wrap them in aluminium foil. Also wrap all PW boards containing them in aluminium foil.

  3. When soldering, ground the technician as shown in the figure and use a grounded soldering iron and work table.

  4. Shapes of Electronic Components

  5. Servicing of Touch Control Panel
    We describe the procedures 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.

  6. 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,

  7. Disconnect the power supply cord, and then remove outer case.

  8. Open the door and block it open.

  9. Discharge high voltage capacitor.

  10. Disconnect the leads to the primary of the power transformer.

  11. Ensure that these leads remain isolated from other components and oven chassis by using insulation tape.

  12. After that procedure, re-connect the power supply cord.
    After checking the performance of the touch control panel,

  13. Disconnect the power supply cord.

  14. Open the door and block it open.

  15. Re-connect the leads to the primary of the power transformer.

  16. Re-install the outer case (cabinet).

  17. Re-connect the power supply cord after the outer case is installed.

  18. Run the oven and check all functions.

      *  **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-related controls of the touch control panel, 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 (on PWB) of the touch control panel, which activates 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).

  1. Servicing Tools
    Tools required to service the touch control panel assembly.

  2. Soldering iron: 30W (It is recommended to use a soldering iron with a grounding terminal.)

  3. Oscilloscope: Single beam, frequency range: DC-10MHz type or more advanced model.

  4. Others: Hand tools

  5. Other Precautions

  6. Before turning on the power source of the control unit, remove the aluminium foil applied for preventing static electricity.

  7. Connect the connectors of the key unit to the control unit being sure that the lead wires are not twisted.

  8. After aluminium foil is removed, be careful that abnormal voltage due to static electricity etc. is not applied to the input or output terminals.

  9. Attach connectors, electrolytic capacitors, etc. to PWB, making sure that all connections are tight.

  10. Be sure to use specified components where high precision is required.
