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

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.

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?

Came across this Samsung microwave with the above error, tech sheet implicates the keypad/control panel. I managed to clean the ribbon cable to the control board and it seems to be working fine now. Could you shoot over the part information for the control just in case I get called back out on this? Want to have that handy.

Hi My microwave is working except for the sensor options. When I press “potatoes” or “sensor reheat” and “start” it flashes ERROR. I tried resetting via fuse; no luck. Time for a new microwave?

I have a maytag microwave and a few months ago the fan would make a lot of noise while it was on high. The noise sounded as if the blades were hitting against something. Not long after the microwave started making that noise during heating as well. Last week, the microwave made a loud noise while heating and the noise stopped all together and it sounded like the problem went away. Well today I used the microwave and it didn’t really sound like a microwave should. There really was no “normal” noise. I could only hear the tray spinning and not the regular microwave hum. Can this microwave be fixed or does it need to be replaced?

Thank you in advance for your help.

GE microwave high voltage capacitor needs replacement. It’s rated 0.91uf. Costly under GE part.
Want to use an aftermarket part. Can only find a cap rated 0.90 or 0.95uf.
Which way would you go? How will it affect output?

So I had a noise filter burn up. Checked the magnetron and it’s bad. So replaced mag, cap and diode and as soon as youug it units trips the breaker. I’ve check all the wires and all the components and I can find what’s grounding causing the breaker to trip. Any ideas?
