  • Page 90 Troubleshooting EE1 and EE2 Troubleshooting techniques for fault codes EE1 and EE2 are common for each.
  • Page 91 Troubleshooting EE1 and EE2 1. To troubleshoot EE1 or EE2, make sure that you are checking the correct section relating to magnetron circuits and control section. Note: EE1, EE2, or EE3 usually does not necessarily indicate a defective magnetron, so save yourself time and money by checking the associated parts as indicated in the following slides.
  • Page 92 Troubleshooting EE1 and EE2 2. Remove primary wires from H.V. transformer and measure for 120v AC. If 120 volts or AC line input voltage is measured at the primary, would indicate that the problem would be strictly a H.V. or magnetron issue. The control circuits would be operating normally with AC voltage present.
  • Page 93 Troubleshooting EE1 and EE2 If 120 volts or AC line input voltage is not measured at the primary, the problem would be the control circuits; which includes the control panel, secondary interlock switches and latch hook ass’y.
  • Page 94 Troubleshooting EE1 and EE2 4. Check the latch hook and secondary interlock switches. As you can see, this unit has a defective latch hook ass’y since only one secondary interlock switch is activated. Note: Verify that the wires and connectors are tight and Defective latch hook ass’y not burned.
  • Page 95 Troubleshooting EE1 and EE2 5. If the latch hook appears to be functioning normally, check for continuity across the switches. 6. Measure for continuity across each switch with the oven door closed. This can be accomplished in circuit with unit unplugged from AC power.
  • Page 96 Troubleshooting EE1 and EE2 7. Check the primary interlock relays. Connect AC power cord to wall outlet Start cook process and measure Relay 1 for continuity across primary interlock relays 1 and 2 Relay 2 Note: “EE3” will appear on display after 9 seconds Replace control PWB if there is no continuity at any of the 2...
  • Page 97 Troubleshooting EE1 and EE2 At this point you probably have repaired the faults by replacing control parts. 8. If you found voltage at the primary of the H.V. transformer, then the problem is most likely to be a defective H.V. circuit or defective magnetron. Please follow the next few slides on how to troubleshoot the H.V.
