REMOVING/ADJUSTING THE INTERLOCK SWITCHES
WARNING
Personal Injury Hazard
Disconnect from the electrical supply be-
fore servicing the unit. Failure to do so
could result in death or electrical shock.
REMOVING A SWITCH
1. Disconnect the electrical supply to the
microwave oven.
2. Remove the two screws from the top of
the cabinet for the vent grille and remove
the grille (see the illustration on page
2-3).
3. Remove the control panel from the micro-
wave oven (see page 2-6).
4. Remove the two mounting screws from
the interlock switch assembly, and posi-
tion the assembly so you can easily ac-
cess the switches and wiring.
5. Refer to inset 1 on the next page for the
secondary interlock switch, or inset 2 for
any of the other switches mounted on the
interlock switch housing assembly, and
remove the switch from the housing as
shown.
6. One at a time, pull the wire connectors off
the defective switch, and reconnect them
to the same terminals on the replacement
switch.
7. Snap the new switch into place on the
switch housing.
8. Mount the interlock switch assembly to
the chassis flange with two screws.
9. Close the housing cover and secure it
with its mounting screw.
MAKING ADJUSTMENTS
1. Plug in the microwave oven and check the
operation of the switches. If necessary,
loosen the two housing screws, and ad-
just the housing so that the switches oper-
ate properly. NOTE: The Interlock Monitor
Switch provides an added safety check on
the Primary and Secondary Interlock
Switches. If the Primary and Secondary
Interlock Switches allow the oven to oper-
ate with the door open, the Interlock Moni-
tor Switch will blow the line fuse. Unplug
the oven again when you have completed
the checks.
2. Reassemble the microwave oven.
