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

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.

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.

I got this apart and diagnosed it needing multiple parts. Could you send over purchase information on them so I can get a quote written up? Thanks.
Primary, secondary, and monitor switches, as well as the fuse.

Microwave blow 1 of 20 amp fuses. Replace it and test circuits before plugging in. Disconnected the mag tube and tested diode gate. Turn power on display came on set the clock. Blower fans works on all speeds. When you set the cook time it the start swich blows the same 20 amp fuse. Looks like a bad short circuit. What do you think the problem can be. I tried everything?

I Had a OL reading on a Cavity thermostat. Tech sheet said it was a single pole thermostat and that the contacts close at 158 degrees Fahrenheit. Now i thought this was a normally open thermostat then? totally confused me? Can you ellaborate with this. is that when they close after being heated up, or is this normally open? this is ona microwave btw which i thought would break the circuit.

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?
