Subject: This technical information describes the repair procedure for the following inverter circuit boards. *606Y4N10GP

1 Warning
1. Always unplug the Microwave Oven from the electricity supply, before removing the outer panel.

2. Never touch the inverter PCB with the microwave oven plugged into the electricity supply. The inverter circuit board
handles voltages up to 5000 volts and is very dangerous

3. Do not touch the heat sink during operation of the microwave oven. The heat sink handles high voltage and becomes very
hot.

4. Always discharge the high voltage capacitors located on the inverter circuit board before beginning any troubleshooting.

5. Only test the inverter circuit board by installing it completely into the oven and refitting the outer panel.

6. Always connect the inverter circuit to earth via the earth plate. It is very dangerous to operate the inverter circuit when it
is not connected to earth.

7. Pbf: Lead free solder has a higher melting point than standard solder; typically the melting point is 30° - 40° C higher.
Use a high temperature soldering iron with temperature control, set it to 370° 10± C.Lead free solder splashes when
heated too high (about 600° C)

2 Discharge the high voltage capacitor

1. Unplug the oven from the mains supply and leave it for more than 30 seconds before removing the outer panel

2. Use an insulated lead wire to short between the anode of Diode D701, and the cathode of diode D702.(See figure 1 for
inverter circuit *606Y4L10GP *606Y4N10GP *E606Y4J00**) or (See figure 2 for inverter *606Y4V00GP

3 Remove the inverter circuit board from the oven.

1. Check the inverter circuit board for cracks, broken components, burnt components and for damaged copper tracks.

4 Check the inverter components using a test meter

Warning

Remove the inverter PCB from the oven before attempting to test any components. Do not try to test any components with the
inverter PCB installed in the microwave oven.

4.1 Check the power transistors (Q701,Q702)

1. Remove the solder holding each leg of the high power transistors to the inverter circuit board.

2. Test the high power transistors for resistance between the Emitter - Collector, Emitter - Gate, Gate - Collector junctions.
Refer to (figure 3) for the expected readings of a functional Power transistor.

check the resistance across each junction of the power transistors.

4.2 Check the diode-bridge (DB701)

1. Remove the solder holding each leg of the diode-bridge to the inverter circuit board.

2. Check the resistance across each diode in the diode-bridge in both forward and reverse bias. See figure 4 for the expected
reading of a functional diode-bridge.

4.3 Check the high voltage capacitors ( C704,C705)

1. Inspect the high voltage capacitors for any visible damage.

2. Remove the capacitor from the inverter circuit board and measure the resistance across the terminals, a defective
capacitor will indicate low resistance. (Short circuit). (Note: On the inverter PCB’s *606Y4V00GP *606Y4V20GP
*606Y4V00BP,the high-voltage capacitors are in parallel with the high-voltage diodes. If these diodes are short circuit,
the capacitors will falsely read short circuit, if they are measured whilst still soldered into the board.).

4.4 Check the high voltage diodes (D701,D702)

1. Remove the high voltage diodes from the inverter circuit board and check the resistance using a meter with a voltage of
more than 9 Volts.

2. Refer to the table (Figure 5) for the expected resistance readings of a functional diode.

5 Replacing the power transistors (Q701,Q702) and Capacitor C806 on the

inverter circuit board.(*606Y4V00GP)(*606Y4V20GP)(*606Y4V00BP)
If the power transistor’s IGBT’s are defective, replace the 2 power transistors (Q701 and Q702) together with the capacitor
C806. The repair kit A691E4V10GP consists of these 3 components. Figure 6 shows the position of each ofthese components.

Figure 6

Components to replace if IGBT’s are defective

5.1 Replacing Capacitor C806

1. Remove all of the solder from each leg of the capacitor (C806). Remove the capacitor from the board.

2. Place the capacitor in position and carefully solderer each leg. Check that no solder bridges the copper tracks of the
circuit board.

5.2 Replacing the power transistors (Q701,Q702)

1. Remove all of the solder from each leg of the power transistors (Q701,Q702) and the diode bridge(DB701). Use a high-
power soldering iron to ensure that the legs of each component are free from the inverter circuit board.

2. Remove all of the solder from each leg of the power transistors (Q701,Q702) and the diode bridge(DB701). Use a high-

8. Place the heat sink and components back in position on the inverter circuit board. Insert the legs of each component legs
completely into the board. Solder each leg into the circuit board, add sufficient solder to withstand the high current.
( Figure 9). Check for dry solder joints and solder bridges between tracks.

1. Remove all of the solder from each leg of the power transistors (Q701,Q702) and the diode-bridge(DB701). Use a high-
power soldering iron to ensure that the legs of each component are free from the inverter circuit board.

2. Remove the 2 screws holding the heat sink to the circuit board as follows: (Figure 10)

3. Place a small amount of solder onto the tip of the high powered soldering iron.(Figure 10)

4. Position the tip of the screwdriver into the head of the screw, Use the high powered soldering iron to melt the solder
around the screw head; when the solder has melted turn the screw in an anti clockwise direction. Hold the soldering
ironagainst the head of the screw until you have removed the screw from the board. (Figure 10)

5. Remove the heat sink and components from the circuit board.

6. Remove the defective component from the inverter circuit board by removing the screw securing the component to the
heat sink.

7. Clean the surface of the heat sink to remove all dust and debris.(Figure 8)

7 Testing the repaired inverter circuit board

Warning

Before placing the repaired inverter circuit board into the microwave oven check for any dry joints or bridged solder. Install the
inverter circuit board into the microwave oven to test, do not attempt to test the inverter circuit board using extensioncables.
When fitting the inverter circuit board into the microwave oven make sure you connect the inverter to earth via the earthing
bracket. It is extremely dangerous to operate the inverter circuit with no earth connection.

1. Install the inverter circuit board in the microwave oven. Plug in the connections CN701,CN702 and CN703. Check that
the inverter is connected to earth via the earthing bracket.

2. Connect the oven to a suitable ampere meter to measure the input current during normal microwave operation. (See tools
and jigs on Page for a suitable meter)

3. Operate the microwave oven on high power for one minute.

4. Check the input current. (Refer to the individual service manual for the specified input current for your specific model).

http://e-service.panasonic.com.sg/viewing/EUOT/All/TI/PVAccel.html (10 of 15)06-Jun-08 2:49:15 PM

5. Do not attempt to adjust the variable resistor VR701. Adjustment is only necessary when the high voltage transformer has
been replaced. However, if the high voltage transformer is defective replace the inverter circuit as a complete unit.

6. If the high volatge transformer on the inverter circuit emits a loud noise, refer to the repair procedure below.

8 After replacing the power transistors (Q701), (Q702) and the capacitor C806,
the high voltage transformer emits a loud noise. This affects inverter circuits
(*606Y4V00GP)(*606Y4V20GP)(*606Y4V00BP).
When the power transistors short circuit the power transistor gate resistors may blow. This fault is quite rare, however, if the
high voltage transformer emits a loud noise after you have replaced the power transistors (Q701)(Q702) and capacitor(C806),
replace the resistors: R713 and R714. See figure 11.
