The unit looks normal with display/control panel on. After selecting cook time and pressing start, light and sound came on as if it's working, but after a few seconds the unit shuts off as if time is up. There is no hint that the food had ever been heated up before.
With the lid opened, I can only see one fuse, which still checked out OK (thus display was still on). I suspect some relay decided not to latch, or high voltage did not come on, so controller shut it down -- but I don't know where to check. Please help. Thanks!

If the microwave runs for a few seconds and then shuts off, a door switch might have failed intermittently. Check each of the door switches for any signs of overheating, arcing, or burning. Also check each of them for continuity. Replace any of the switches that is visibly damaged or that only has continuity intermittently
If
the microwave runs for a few seconds and stops there may be a short
circuit in the main control board. Check other components first,
these boards are often misdiagnosed.
If
the microwave runs for a few seconds and stops the touchpad and
control panel might be defective. There are several other components
that can cause this problem, be sure to check any other components
before replacing this board.
If
the microwave runs for a few seconds and stops the touchpad might be
at fault. This is not common. Generally speaking, if the microwave
display is working and some of the buttons respond correctly but
some don't, the problem is with the touchpad.
If
the microwave runs for a few seconds and stops the high voltage
transformer might have an intermittent short. This is not common.
Check other components related to the microwave symptom first.
If
the microwave runs for a few seconds and stops the thermostat might
be defective. Watch our video on testing thermostat

exact same problem with Panasonic NN-S561
My Panasonic NN-T783SF has the same problem. When you press Start after you set the timer, it is only run 22 seconds and stop

Seems like a common problem, micro Panosonic NN-T6858F inverter. Shuts down after a few seconds of starting it.
Would like to get into the back of it, but has tamper proof screws with a pin in the middle. Not sure where I can buy a screw driver like that.
Same problem.
yes, I have the same problem. Micro runs for 3 seconds, then stops. It sounds slightly different than normal too. Micro is used about once a day for heating or reheating things. It has not been overly used or abused.
My Panasonic NN-S953 has been doing the same thing. It is a large microwave, so we paid a bit more for it. This morning it was working, but was making a slight buzzing noise. Then it stopped heating. Then it would just shut off before the cooking tiem was up. My husband replaced the fuse, but still not heating. Right now it is just a large, expensive clock.
