Microwave Leackege Repairing

Feb 03, 2005 4 Replies

I have several Microwave Ovenns Booth on 2.4 Ghz and some older versions working on 900Mhz .



They are preaty well used and most have leakege above 2mw/cm2 as measuread with an Yokogawa Measurement System .



The leakege are around the doors interlooks area , the lower side due to rusting or all around the door .



Can this type of problems be repaired ?

Sure, but I think the question you're asking is whether they can be repaired economically. With today's microwave oven prices, you'd be better off buying new, even compared with doing the repairs yourself, unless your time is worth less than minimum wage.

What does a Yokogawa Measurement System cost?

These can be repaired, but not economically. You will have to change the case, if it is rusted. If the door is rusted that would also have to be replaced. The tolerance of how close the door latches, and the operation of the safety switches are also critical. Wear points are the hinges, and switches.

I would look at a more serious type of measuring tool.
