Panasonic Inverter Microwave, Model: NN-SD277BR

Model is fairly beefy (1100W) over-the-range (OTR) style, with venting slots along upper edge.

Ran fine for 5 years. Boiled some water on the stove for pasta, so front face of microwave was moist with condensation. Started microwave and immediately started to spark from upper right side, could see it through the venting slot right above control panel. Electrical burning smell. Thought it was shorting due to moisture from the boiling water. Stopped it after about 3 seconds and ran the exhaust fan on Turbo mode for about an hour. Worked fine after that for about 3 weeks.

Happened again today after about 10 seconds. Smelly smoke filled the kitchen. Stopped it and opened all the windows, lit candles, and ran the fan again. Lights all work, did not trip the main fuse. Picture showing microwave follows. Sparking was seen visually through the venting slots above the word “Panasonic”: https://www.dropbox.com/s/jkeiezzf9u7i8z2/20141221_111315.jpg?dl=0

We have gone four times to repair this microwave. The customer complains that the microwave does not heat. Initially we replaced the magnetron and it was working. On the second visit we replaced the thermal fuse. On the third visit it was heating but a reset was done aswell as reconected wires to thermal fuse and unit was heating. On the fourth visit the unit was heating but a reset was done again. Now the customer calls is complaing that it is not defrosting and heating, any suggestions?

do you think the 25 amp fuse would be the most likely of the problem?

My microwave is making a grinding sound, and I’ve replaced the turntable motor, but the noise has not gone away.

How do I gain access to springs.

One door spring broke, should I replace both?
Access to replace springs. Video etc.
Do I have to watch out for fragile ribbon cable on top panel that can crack.

One of the shelf supports on my Amanda microwave partially melted. I found and purchased a replacement. How do I remove the old support. Can I pry it off with a screw driver? Will this damage the interior. The shelf support part number is 2080030.

My vent microwave exhaust fan does not work on the low speed but works fine on the high speed.
I have tried unplugging, waiting and plugging back in with no effect.
All other buttons on the touch pad seem to work just fine.
Any diagnosis tips or is there an obvious solution?

We have a Jenn-air oven/mw combo. Microwave starts counting down and then stops running and heating after 5 seconds. It starts counting for example 60-59-58-57-56-55-55-55-55-55-55-55-55. Never come across this before but assume it could be sensing an overheat and shutting off?

I found the primary interlock switch faulty on arrival, replaced and still had the same issue. The fan that comes on when the magnetron is active is only turning on when you open the door. I confirmed all the micro switches were functional at this point. My experience in the past is that one of the switches would cause this. I am suspectin that I am missing something here.

GE microwave oven is malfunctioning. With door closed and nothing set, it hums and the magnetron is definitely putting out. Turntable doesn’t turn and interior light doesn’t come on unless I set the timer, in which case the light comes on and the turntable turns. But, when time to stop, it beeps as normal at the end of the cycle and the turntable stops and the interior light goes out but the magnetron is still on and it is still humming.

Nothing will stop it except leaving the door ajar (and the light come on with the door open) or unplugging the unit. The clock works and I can (supposedly) set the power level and the timer for timed cooking, but as I said, when time to stop, the magnetron keeps running. I tried leaving it unplugged for a half hour hoping that would reset it, but it did not.

Edited to add: Everything on the touchpad seems to work correctly, but the magnetron will not turn off unless we leave the door open or unplug the unit.

Microwave turns on for 2 seconds and then turns off. History: I changed out a blown fuse about six months ago but did not know at the time I should have changed the monitor switch. Last time it was dead and now it just turns on for 2 seconds. Any ideas what I should be looking for? Model #HMB5050/01 FD 9007100017 FCC ID ACLAP7A01
