Using an ohmmeter' the B to C junction will test as a diode, but E to B junction will show low resistance, approximately 50 ohms in both directions. now, E to C ohmmeter test will test as a diode. the foregoing results indicate a good transistor. reading other than this indicate a bad H-output transistor. good luck!

I have panasonic nn-gs597m microwave its working normal but not heating, I opened the cover magnetron is hot the fan is working. Any help?

follow the next steps , use the VOM and fix it. God bless you

Diode

The high voltage diode converts the A/C power output of the transformer to D/C, doubling the voltage to nearly 5,000 volts. This high voltage powers the magnetron which emits the energy that cooks the food. If the diode burns out, a lower A/C voltage reaches the magnetron, which is not sufficient to power the magnetron. When the diode fails it is often visibly burned out. If it appears to be good, it can be tested with a volt-Ohm meter capable of testing diodes. High voltage diodes frequently fail and are one of the most common points of failure in a microwave oven. A regular meter with a diode checker will not work to check these diodes. You have to use a meter with a 9 volt battery or put a 9 volt battery in series with the diode to check it.

Door Switch

If the microwave does not heat, one of the door switches might be defective. Microwave ovens normally have three door switches, if any of them fail the microwave does not turn on and does not heat. Check the switches for continuity with an Ohm meter.





Magnetron

If the microwave oven doesn't heat the magnetron tube might have burned out. The magnetron uses high voltage, high current DC power to generate the microwave frequency that cooks the food. If the microwave oven is turned on when it is empty this can cause the magnetron to burn out. Once it is burned out it has to be replaced, it's not repairable.





High Voltage Capacitor

If the microwave doesn't heat the high voltage capacitor might be defective. The high voltage capacitor works with the high voltage diode to convert the output of the transformer to DC voltage and to double the output voltage. If the capacitor is burned out the entire high voltage circuit stops working properly. The high voltage capacitor can be checked with a special VOM meter which has a capacitance testing capability. Be aware that the high voltage capacitor can retain a charge of more than 3,000 volts and can injure or kill a person if not handled properly. Only trained technicians should perform this type of testing.





High Voltage Transformer

If the microwave does not heat, the high voltage transformer might be burned out. Microwave ovens produce a very high voltage in order to power the magnetron antenna, which emits the energy that cooks the food. When a high voltage transformer fails it will usually arch and have a burning smell.





Thermal Fuse

If the microwave doesn't heat the thermal fuse may have blown. It can be tested for continuity. Watch our fuse testing video for more information.





Thermoprotector

If the microwave doesn't heat the thermoprotector may have tripped. This is a safety device to prevent the microwave from overheating. It can be tested for continuity to see if it's blown.





Main Control Board

If the microwave doesn't heat the main control board may be defective. This is not common. When a microwave doesn't heat the problem is usually a faulty door switch or within the high voltage circuit; either the high voltage capacitor, diode, transformer or magnetron.

I was using my Horizon Treadmill T1201, and in the middle of my workout my circuit breaker was tripped and lost power in my room. When I got power back, i turned on my treadmill and it reads a 5101 error...

Dear Sir:
You have a big SHORT CIRCUIT inside from your machine.

1) Test the input voltage and see the c. breaker reset 2) Test the fuse inside with your DVOM. 3) See if some wires is loose and tight 4) See if there are some component burn 5) Test the input voltage motor, if there are the motor is faulty 6) Test the output voltage for input voltage motor is there are NOT the board is FAULTY.

Of course you must sHURE the outlet from wall is o.k test the ground wires,and see any loose wires, or touching between them. DO NOT USE ANY EXTENSION CORD for your treadmill.

sincerely. God bless you

Will not come on

Hello bad minton 2 hi, check the common things first.
1. power cable, make sure its good. 2. AC mains outlet. 3. Loose AC port connection of the power cable. 4. Power switch.
If all is OK. problem is the main power supply board. Now you may need to open the back cover. Caution: this should be done by a pro. 1. Check the fuse for open. if open proceed if not go to 3. 2. Check now for shorts like diodes and transistors. 3. Check for voltage outputs. you need a manual or diagram for this. 4. To check for voltage readings, you need a multitester for this: 4a. check the ac 110/220 volts entering the power supply module. check the cable. 4b. check the dc output from the filter capacitor. no output, check the fuse or fusing resistor. diodes 4c. now the voltages at the VCC line after the regulator. If no readings problem with the switching circuit. Note this is not as simple as you think. have a tech guy do the work if you cant find the problem.

Hi i have a microwave which just stopped working today,,checked the fuse in the plug but its not that,,what else could it be please

Issue with your Transformer Check your input and output voltage But Carefull For hazard Voltage Make shure your unplug the main Capacitor and check with a probe if any voltage are still ..
Also check Your main Diode and Magnetron Sensor and the safety swich on the door Cover ....

I have a Samsung microwave model SMH7177STE/BE. Will only heat a few minutes before and shut off, now there is no heat. I am a licensed elect. but no experience with microwaves and having difficulty...

Its tripping a high limit most likely. Be careful there is 2100 to 4000 volt high side with a capacitor if its not an inverter. The standard components consist of noise board, fuse, touch panel and power controller, high limits, door switches, whipper motor, fan, transformer, capacitor, transformer, magnetron, diode, plate rotator.
Discharge cap (for safety and further testing).. Test fuse; if fuse tests blown test door switches first. Test limits. Check amp draw with slow blow fuse; open door to stop unit and again discharge capacitor. Test resistance to ground on whipper, fan, magnetron, light. Test resistance lead to lead (measurable on motors/coils/magnetron). Test capacitor in ferrads, compare to spec on print. Check diode forward and reverse. Test output voltage from power control board to transformer. Test transformer coils.
Best of luck and play safe; dont test voltage output from the transformer, voltage at capacitor or magnetron.
