I walked by my microwave the other day and noticed it was off - no lights - no display - no fan. I plugged something else into the outlet and it worked. So there is something wrong with the microwave itself. I read about someone else with the same problem and the solution which talked about a fuse, but how do you get to the fuse?

Microwave fuses are normally located either on a filter board near where the power cord comes in, behind the control panel between the door switches, or behind the control panel in a hodler, sometimes on the floor of the chassis.

If you or someone you know decide to look into it, we have critical safety information, info on door switch diagnosis and replacement, and disassembly information at our site, and our link is at our listing here on FixYa.

At our site, we have a video showing how to remove a typical over the range control panel assembly in under 5 minutes.

You can find an authorized Panasonic servicer here.

You can order Panasonic parts from Tritronics, but if you don't find what you're looking for there, try here.

If unit is built-in reove screws holding unit to cabinet.
Slide out about 2 inches to access 3 screws holding grill.
Remove grill to get to two screws holding control panel.
Fuse is behind control panel,

SOURCE: Panasonic Microwave NN-T993SF has no power

most microwaves do have an internal ceramic fuse either 15 amp or 20 amp the cover has to come off to locate it usually at the top just behind the control board. do not touch the high voltage capacitor as it holds a charge even when the unit is unplugged.

This is actually most likely happening due to either the Magnetron, or the Power Diode, or both, has broken down, under load, and then the unit detects the fault condition, & then, for safety reasons, to avoid a fire or explosion, shuts down the system, and will not start the magnetron up.
You need to take it in to be looked at please obtain a "Quote" before proceeding with any work. This way you can decide to repair or replace.
