put finger to keyboard and composed: http://geocities.com/anglomont/mw.jpg What is actually the curved line close to the transformer and directly connected to magnetron? That's the transformer winding that supplies 3VAC to the magnetron's filament. What if upon disconnecting the both diodes fast fuse blows again when either microwave or grill cooking is started? According to Sam's Microwave FAQ ... "An open HV diode will result in AC instead of DC across the magnetron with a peak negative value (the only one that matters) about 1/2 of what it should be. The result will likely be little or no detectable heat but no other symptoms". If the fuse blows again, then I'd be looking at the power transformer or the magnetron. What is it exactly connected between a8-a7? That's the transformer (and metal oxide varistor) that is part of the low voltage DC supply for the control board. One secondary winding supplies the +5V (?) logic, the other probably supplies the display filament. - Franc Zabkar -- Please remove one 'i' from my address when replying by email. |
