Some Microware Repair Steps for Jenn-Air
The microwave is one of the friendliest appliances in your
kitchen. Barely half a century ago, it would have been
difficult to imagine cooking without the involvement of an oven or a fire. Now
cooking has become so dependent on the microwave for many people that if a snag
develops and the microwave stops functioning, it can create a lot of cooking
discomfort in the home. It can certainly increase the time you spend in the
kitchen cooking and cleaning.
Cut the Power
You can always try to fix your Jenn-Air microwave on your
own at home. Disconnect the unit from the power supply before you start
attempting a repair. As a second step, make sure to discharge the capacitor of
your microwave properly. The capacitor stores reserve power in the unit, so you
need to discharge this power beforehand.
Basic Tests
To identify the problem with your Jenn-Air microwave, remove
the outer shell by unscrewing it from the back and underneath. Once you have
done that, there are three check points that you ought to look at. The first is
the door switch, the second the fan motor, and the third is a blown fuse. You
can test the door switch with a VOM meter on RX1. If it is found to be faulty,
you will have to replace it. You should test both door switches while you are
on the job.
Possible Culprits
If the door switch is working fine, you should look at the
fan and test whether it has stopped working. If the VOM meter on RX1 shows the
needle on infinity, it indicates that the fan motor has developed a defect, and
needs to be replaced. The third basic area to be test is the fuse. You can pull
out the fuse with a fuse puller, and test both its ends with a VOM meter on
RX1. If the results are anything but zero, replace the fuse with another of the
same type.
