Important Safety Information
WARNING
!
Read the following information to avoid possible exposure to microwave radiation:
The basic design of theAmana Microwave Oven makes it an inherently safe device to both use and service.
However, there are some precautions which should be followed when servicing the Microwave Oven to maintain this
safety. These are as follows:
8. Do not for any reason defeat the interlock
switches there is not a valid reason for this action
at anytime; nor will it be condoned by Maytag.
1. Always operate the unit from an adequately
grounded outlet. Do not operate on a two-wire
extension cord.
9. IMPORTANT: Before returning a unit to a
customer, be sure to check for proper switch
interlock action.
2. Before servicing the unit (if unit is operable) perform
the microwave leakage test.
3. The oven should never be operated if the door does
not fit properly against the seal, the hinges or hinge
bearings are damaged or broken; the choke is
damaged, (pieces missing, etc.); or any other
visible damage can be noted. Check the choke
area to ensure that this area is clean and free of all
foreign matter.
10. Before returning a unit to a customer, verify that
the door spacing is reasonably uniform along the
top, bottom, and sides, and that it measure
1/64"/0.5mm or less.
11. Microwave ovens should never be operated with
any components removed and/or bypassed or
when any of the safety interlocks are found to be
failing or when any of the seal surfaces are failing,
missing or damaged.
4. If the oven operates with the door open and
produces microwave energy, take the following
steps:
A. Tell the user not to operate the oven.
B. Contact Maytag immediately.
12. All microwave ovens meet all requirements of the
radiation control for Health and SafetyAct of 1968.
Due to measurement uncertainties, the maximum
leakage for the field will be 4mw/cm2.
5. Always have the oven disconnected when the outer
case is removed except when making the "live"
tests called for in this Service Manual. Do not
reach into the equipment area while the unit is
energized. Make all connections for the test and
check them for tightness before plugging the cord
into the outlet.
13. To ensure that the unit does not emit excessive
microwave leakage and to meet the Department
of Health and Human Services guidelines, check
the oven for microwave leakage using a leakage
monitor. The maximum leakage level allowed
when following those instructions is 4mw/cm2.
6. Always ground the capacitors on the magnetron
filter box with an insulated-handle screwdriver
before working in the high voltage area of the
equipment compartment. Some types of failures
will leave a charge in these capacitors and the
discharge could cause a reflex action which could
make you injure yourself.
14. If servicer encounters an emission reading over
4mw/cm2, the servicer is to cease repair and
contact the Commercial Support Center
immediately for further direction. Maytag will
contact the proper GovernmentAgency upon
verification of the test results.
7. Always remember that in the area of the
transformer there is HIGH VOLTAGE. When the
unit is operating keep this area clear and free of
anything which could possibly cause an arc or
ground, etc.

WARNING
Do not remove grounding prong when installing
grounded appliance in a home or business that does
not have three wire grounding receptacle, under no
condition is grounding prong to be cut off or removed.
It is the personal responsibility of the consumer to
contact a qualified electrician and have properly
grounded three prong wall receptacle installed in
accordance with appropriate electrical codes.
• Do not operate or allow oven to be operated with door
open.
• Make the following safety checks on all ovens to be
serviced before activating the magnetron or other
microwave source, and make repairs as necessary:
• Interlock operation
• Proper door closing
• Seal and sealing surfaces (arcing, wear, and
other damage)
• Damage to or loosening of hinges and latches
• Evidence of dropping or abuse
WARNING
!
To avoid the risk of electrical shock or death, do not
alter the plug.
• Before turning on microwave power for any service
test or inspection within the microwave generating
compartments, check the magnetron, waveguide or
transmission line, and cavity for proper alignment,
integrity, and connections.
WARNING
!
To avoid the risk of electrical shock or death, this
equipment must be grounded.
• Any failed or misadjusted components in the
interlock, monitor, door seal, and microwave
generation and transmission systems shall be
repaired, replaced or adjusted by procedures
described in this manual before oven is released to
the consumer.
• Check microwave leakage to verify compliance with
the federal performance standard should be
performed on each oven prior to release to the
consumer.
This equipment MUST be grounded. In the event of an
electrical short circuit, grounding reduces the risk of
electric shock by providing an escape wire for the
electric current. This oven is equipped with a cord
having a grounding wire with a grounding plug. The plug
must be plugged into an outlet that is properly installed
and grounded.
Consult a qualified electrician or servicer if grounding
instructions are not completely understood, or if doubt
exists as to whether the equipment is properly
grounded.
Do not use an extension cord. If the product power cord
is too short, have a qualified electrician install a three-
slot receptacle. This oven should be plugged into a
separate 60 hertz circuit with the electrical rating as
shown in the appropriate drawing. Models operate with a
120 supply voltage. When a microwave oven is on a
circuit with other equipment, an increase in cooking
times may be required and fuses can be blown.
!
WARNING
To avoid risk of electrical shock, injury or death; make
sure these grounding instructions are followed.

Important Safety Information
Servicing of Grounded Products
Explanation
The standard accepted color coding for grounding wires
is GREEN or GREEN WITH YELLOW STRIPE. These
ground leads are NOT to be used as current carrying
conductors. It is extremely important that the technician
replace any and all grounds prior to completion of the
service call. Under no condition should ground wire be
left off causing a potential hazard to technicians and
consumer.
Polarization–This means that the larger slot must be
neutral and the small slot must be hot (live).
Mispolarized–Theoutletismiswiredsothatthelargerslot
is hot (live) and the smaller slot is neutral.
Grounded–This means the round hole connection is
connectedtoearthgroundthroughaconnectiontothemain
powerpanel.
Ungrounded–The round hole connection is not complete
to earth ground and/or the main power panel.
Wiring
Test Procedures (2 Methods)
Method #1
Use a ground monitor plug available for purchased at
local hardware store. The lamps inside the monitor
indicate a correctly or incorrectly wired outlet by
instructions imprinted on the monitor body.
A good service practice is never route wiring over
terminals and/ or sharp edges. This applies to any wiring
without regard to the circuit voltage. Wire installation
material and thickness is designed and regulated for
electrical spacing purpose only, but cannot always be
relied upon because of possible cuts and/or abrasions,
which can occur during servicing.
WARNING
!
To avoid risk of electrical shock, personal injury or
death; verify the oven is properly grounded and
polarized.
Proper Grounding and Polarization of
120 Volts Wall Outlets
Method #2
For the safety of our customers and the service
technician ALL appliances have a three–prong power
cord and MUST be connected to a properly polarized and
grounded wall outlet.
Voltmeter - (Use scale over 125 Volts A.C.)
• Test A - "H" to "N" must indicate line voltage.
• Test B - "H" to "G" must indicate line voltage.
• Test C - "N" to "G" must indicate zero (0) volts.
This information was written for those who do not
understand grounding and polarization of a wall outlet.
If "N" to "G" indicates line voltage the outlet is improperly
polarized.
A 120 volt wall outlet must always be wired as shown
below.
If "H" to "G" indicates zero (0) volts the outlet is not
grounded.
Neutral (N) - This slot is
the larger of the two and
should be neutral (dead)
with respect to ground.
Hot (H) - This slot is
the smaller size and
should always be hot
(live) with respect to
neutral (N) and ground(G).
CAUTION
!
H
N
To avoid risk of electrical shock, personal injury or
property damage; wiring changes or grounding of wall
outlet are to be made only by a qualified electrician.
G
Ground (G) - The round hole connection
is for the grounding circuit. Behind the
cover plate a green wire should be
connected to this terminal.
General Test Information
Most testing in the manual is conducted with an
ohmmeter using a multiplier scale of X 10k (k–thousand
ohms). When using this scale, it is important that your
fingers do not touch the metal parts of the test probes.
To do so will give a false indication of the ohm reading.

Service Information
WARNING
To avoid risk of electrical shock, personal injury, or death, disconnect power to oven and discharge capacitor
before servicing, unless testing requires power.
!
Proper Handling of Magnetron Tubes
2. Open Heater (Filament) - Can be determined by a
ohmmeter when transformer leads are
disconnected. Resistance is normally less than one
ohm; filament does not short internally. Any tube
removed should be checked since usage tends to
make the filament more fragile. Later handling and
shipping may open the filament and thereby mask
the true failure mode when checked at the factory.
3. Low Power - Caused by “wearout” of the emission
characteristics of the directly heated cathode.
Symptoms are: (1) tube current will take longer to
get to operating point then a new tube (normally
about 2 - 3 seconds), (2) tube current does not get
high enough to cause the tube to oscillate with
normal line voltage, (3) oven produces low power
into a load, two-thirds or less than normal.
CAUTION
!
A magnetron tube, like a radio or television tube
must be handled with a reasonable amount of care.
When handling a tube, always handle by the housing
only. Use caution not to touch or strike the ceramic
portion at the top. The carton used to ship service
replacement tubes is reusable.
Magnetron Failure Modes
Magnetron failures that have been identified are
generally grouped into categories shown below.
1. Shorted
Air - This is a case where the tube has had the vacuum
envelope destroyed and air has entered the tube.
This will cause internal arcing and high secondary
current if high voltage is applied.
4. Physical Damage - Caused by mishandling of
magnetron tube.
R.F. Capacitors - May short to chassis. This condition
will also cause loss of high voltage.

Microwave Leakage Testing
WARNING
To avoid risk of electrical shock, personal injury, or death, disconnect power to oven and discharge capacitor
before servicing, unless testing requires power.
!
Measurement with the Outer Panel
Removed
WARNING
!
Check for radiation leakage after servicing. Should the
leakage be more than 4 mW/cm2 inform Maytag
immediately. After repairing or replacing any radiation
safety device, keep a written record for future reference,
as required by D.H.H.S. and HEW regulations. This
requirement must be strictly observed. In addition, the
leakage reading must be recorded on the service repair
ticket while in the customer’s home.
WARNING
!
Avoid contacting any high voltage components.
Whenever you replace the magnetron, measure for
radiation leakage before the outer panel is installed
and after all necessary components are replaced or
adjusted. Special care should be taken in measuring
around the magnetron.
Equipment
• Electromagnetic radiation monitor
• 600 cc glass beaker or plastic power bowl
Measurement with a Fully Assembled
Oven
After all components including the outer panel are fully
assembled, measure for radiation leakage around the
door periphery, the door viewing window, the exhaust
opening, and air inlet openings.
Procedure for Measuring Radiation Leakage
Note before measuring:
• Do not exceed meter full scale deflection. Leak monitor
should initially be set to the highest scale.
• To prevent false readings the test probe should be held
by the grip portion of the handle only.
• The scan speed is equal to one inch per antenna
revolution or one inch per second if antenna speed is
unknown.
• Areas to be checked are all door seal areas and any
venting parts.
• Leakage with the outer panel removed ...4mW/cm2 or
less.
Record Keeping and Notification After
Measurement
1. After any adjustment or repair to a microwave
oven, a leakage reading must be taken. Record
this leakage reading on the repair ticket even if it is
zero.
2. A copy of the repair ticket and the microwave
leakage reading should be kept by the repair
facility.
• Leakage for fully assembled oven with door normally
closed ...4 mW/cm2 or less.
• Leakage for a fully assembly oven (before the latch
switch (primary) is interrupted) while pulling the door
... 4 mW/cm2 or less.
1. Pour 275 cc 15 cc (9 oz 1/2 oz) of 20°C 5°C
(68°F 9°F) water in a beaker which is graduated to
600 cc and place the beaker in the center of oven.
2. Set the radiation monitor to 2450 MHz and use it
following the manufacturer’s recommended test
procedure to assure correct results.
3. While measuring the leakage, always use the two inch
(5 cm) spacer supplied with the probe.
4. Press the start pad or turn on the timer and with the
magnetron oscillating, measure the leakage by holding
the probe perpendicular to the surface being
measured.

Troubleshooting
WARNING
To avoid risk of electrical shock, personal injury, or death, disconnect power to oven and discharge capacitor
before servicing, unless testing requires power.
!
Hold probe perpendicular to cabinet door. Place cone
Operating Instructions for the Holaday
of probe on the door and/or cabinet door seam and
HI1501, HI1510, HI1710, and HI1801
Purpose of these monitors is to check radiation
leakage around microwave oven door or other places
where radiation could possibly occur.
move along the seam. If leakage of the oven is
unknown, move probe slowly. Proceed with care in
order not to exceed a full scale reading of meter.
When testing near a corner or access area of door,
keep probe perpendicular to the areas making sure
probe end at the base of the cone does not get closer
than 2” (5cm) to any metal. If it does, an erroneous
reading may result.
Instrument measures radiation leakage in milliwatts
2
per square centimeters (mW/cm ). Probe should be
used with the 2" (5 cm) cone spacer. Water load of
275 cc. (approximately 1 1/3 cup), is to be placed in
the oven and used as a load during leakage tests.
Always use the 2” (5cm) spacer with probe. Also,
always proceed carefully in areas of high leakage or
probe can be accidentally burned-out. Rotating
antenna causes high peaks of energy. Although meter
has averaging capabilities, probe will react
instantaneously to peak power changes which will
cause burn-out.
Operate the instrument on its internal 9 Volt battery
power supply. “Range” switch is used on low and high
while using test probe. On an oven with an unknown
leakage, use high scale then switch to low scale and
test for low leakage. “Bat Test” switch is used to
check the battery and probe on the Holaday
Instruments. If either is faulty, meter needle will not
read above “Test Minimum” or battery mark on meter.
Holaday Instrument has a probe test switch position.
Meter needle must indicate in the “OK probe test”
portion of the scale when in this position. Zero control
is used to zero the needle. “ON-OFF” switch provides
a means of turning the operating voltage on or off.
“Range Multiplier” switch provides a means of
selection either 0-2 or 0-10 and 0-100 on the Holaday
Instruments sensitivity ranges.
NOTE: For further instructions see Amana Service
Letters of the R-10, R-35, and R-59 of your
Instrument Instruction Manual.
NOTE: Simpson Electric Company Model 380M may
also be used by using the above instructions
for guideline and the 380M Instruction
Manual.
Test probe must be held by the grip portion of the
handle, otherwise a false reading may result if
operators hand is between the handle and probe.
If oven is likely to have a large amount of leakage,
approach oven slowly with the probe, while observing
meter. This is achieved by holding the probe two or
three feet from oven surface or gap between door and
oven body while observing meter. When high leakage
is expected, do not move probe horizontally along the
oven surface. This could cause possible probe
burn-out. Greatest leakage is generally found at the
corners. After maximum leakage is established to be
within the meter scale range, then probe may be
moved horizontally around the door surface.

Power Test
All Amana and Menumaster microwave oven power outputs are rated using the IEC705 standards. Using the IEC705
test method requires precision measurements and equipment that is not practical to be performed in the field. Using
the test shown below will indicate if the oven performance is satisfactory.
Test equipment required:
•
1000 ml test container and thermometer (Amana power test kit R0157397 Fahrenheit / Menumaster power
test kit M95D5 Celsius).
•
Digital watch / watch with a second hand for use on ovens with electromechanical timers.
Important Notes:
•
•
Low line voltage will cause low temperature rise / power output.
Ovens must be on a dedicated circuit, properly grounded, and polarized. Other equipment on the same
circuit may cause a low temperature rise / power output.
•
This test and results are not a true IEC705 test procedures and are only intended to provide servicers with
an easy means of determining if the microwave oven cooking output is correct.
Procedure
1. Fill the test container to the 1000 ml line with cool tap water.
NOTE: Water temperature should be approximately 60°F / 16°C
2. Using the thermometer, stir water for five to ten seconds; measure, and record the temperature (T1).
3. Place test container of water in the center of oven cavity and close door.
4. Heat the water for a 33-second full power cycle.
NOTE: Use a digital watch or a watch with a second hand for ovens with electromechanical timers.
1. At end of the cycle, remove test container. Using the thermometer, stir water for five to ten seconds and record
temperature (T2).
2. Subtract the starting water temperature (T1), from the ending water temperature (T2) to obtain the temperature
rise (?T).
3. If the temperature rise (?T) meets or exceeds the minimum, the test is complete. If the temperature rise (?T)
fails to meet the minimum temperature rise, test the line voltage to verify it is correct. Then repeat steps 1-6
making sure to change the water. If the temperature rise (?T) fails to meet the minimum temperature rise again
the oven will require service.
