Hello,
Have a Panasonic Inverter microwave model number NN-SD997S. This unit is just over 36 months old and has been used heavily without issue. This evening just after the start button was pressed, the internal light flashed blue and did not light, along with no turntable operation or cooling fan operation. It looks like the magnetron ran for about 2 minutes w/o me really knowing because the meal was hot afterwards. There was a bit of a 'hot steel' smell afterwards.......so fanless magnetron cannot be too good either. Assuming i didn't damage it further with the fanless operation.....what could be the issue with this unit and is it fixable. This is/was a topline unit but bought at half price, roughly
225.00$. If it's an internal fuse, there must be major issues for it to trip? Wall outlet is ok, checked with Fluke.Thx for any info.
Rgds.
