A nice primer on the insides of my Panasonic Inverter MW. About 9 years old it was beginning to start-stop-start in mid-operation which I correctly surmised as an intermittent connection. I used a small flat head precision driver to remove those 4 Torx anti-tamper screws plus one Philips head on the right side of the case. Sure enough the primary micro switch showed heat damage due to the failing contact. I got a V-15G-3C25K on order. Thanks for your expertise and floating camera work.

UPDATE: Got the switch from Mouser. The connector lugs were damaged from the arching of the bad switch and had to be replaced. The new switch would not snap into place because of the mounting post wouldn't fit into the switch's hole. I drilled the hole one millimeter larger and it finally fit. The oven works like new. Parts: $3, Shipping: $8, My labor: $100, Aggravation charge: $200. Green Points: 10 (for not adding to the dead appliance dump).

Great video, thanks for sharing it. Years ago I repaired our Kenmore microwave, it was an easy fix (the door micro switch was shot) Apparently if you open the door while the microwave is doing its thing it creates an arc across the contacts and after a few times doing that the switch no longer works. I was told by a neighbor and friend that if you want to avoid damage to the door micro switch you have to turn off the power (by pressing the stop/pause button first) before opening the door. My question for you is this... Two years ago I bought one of the newer microwaves that you showed at the beginning of the video and in the past week or so it has started to intermittently turn off while operating. If we closed the door hard it would sometimes work but when it turned off the turntable motor continuously turned. Yesterday I decided to take it apart and try to see if there was a loose connection inside or maybe a bad ground. After taking the cover off I wiggled many of the wire connections and checked for any burnt wires but I didn't see any. After that I took out the micro switch on the door and it seems to work fine. After putting it all back together the thing doesn't even power up the display. The funny thing is the motor which turns the turntable inside is always on from the second you plug it in but no display, nothing. Any idea what might be causing this?

As a qualified electronics engineer with forty years of repairing products and 30 years of microwave repairs trained by Sharp and others I am horrified that you have not mentioned how accidental contact with the high voltage areas around the magnetron can easily prove lethal. These appliances were repaired by a company I used to work for and a colleague (Television Engineer) used to debate with me how a high voltage shock would hurt but not do any more damage when I warned him about working on live units. He was used to accidentally receiving shocks from CRT screens of 25 000 volts but only a few Milli amps that would sting. Our training always told us to Disconnect before repair, open the door so no chance of powering up (should we have failed to disconnect) and Discharge any High voltage left that had not been bled away from the magnetron. My colleague was complacent and ignored this and was found dead in our company's workshop in 1995 when he had worked through his tea break and accidentally touched a working microwave, I know there is a lot of safety warnings that anybody with a little knowledge tends to ignore but when you are putting up a video that actually encourages others to work in such a high danger area without any warnings I find it very responsible..

I completely agree with you. I am also a qualified tech, but even before I was qualified I did factory training with Sharp 30 years ago. When we walked into class on the first day, "MICROWAVE OVENS KILL TECHNICIANS" was written across the blackboard. 2 guys walked out never to return. The instructor certainly had the full attention of those of us remaining. This video like many others like it, is reckless. I hope nobody having viewed this has hurt themselves or heaven forbid, died as a result. I've put in my suggestion to youtube that it be removed.

@Metalcastr These definitely heat fast, but they do have continuously variable power down to 40%, unlike the pulsed mode that normal microwaves run. No one seems to use the proper gauge wire anymore, especially in white goods. The profit margins are just too small to use any quality parts. The big players seem to be able to push UL or ETL into allowing them to do things smaller guys wouldn't be allowed to do, like drawing 17A from a 15A circuit or running 17A through such thin wire.

The problem is popping the door latch before the microwave has timed out. You are therefore opening the door interlock microswitch under load causing sparking and overheating which extends out the switch to the connected wiring. You did exactly that in your test of the repaired unit. Use the stop or wait until timed out.

18 gauge wire can handle up to 28A depending upon the insulation. UL / ETL has lower limits depending upon the class of device and its function. Residential and commercial electrical codes for building purposes derate things even further. Alas, these are the only the specs on the wire. In this case, the problem is likely to be hot spots with the crimped faston causing the microswitch to fail prematurely. Die wear, alignment, and pressure variation at the factory can all contribute to a crimp not meeting manufacturers current ratings. In addition, had that faston been replaced in the field at some point, its a real pig in a poke, as most hand tools do a pretty poor job at making crimps capable of handling that level of current. I learned this the hard way as a n00b engineer many years ago... A semitrailor full of rejected units due to harness failures leaves a lasting impression. Thanks for the video, now I know exactly what to look for. I may end up replacing that wire in my Panasonic with something far more robust to prevent a future failure.

@filipkof I'll try drawing some arcs off one of these inverters. I have no idea what it'll do, but I know the inverter will survive a short circuit, so there's a chance it'll work. On a 15A breaker, typically you can draw about 17-18A continuously on a good (new) one, and perhaps 30A for 5-10 seconds or so.

@Garcansdad Yes, that's a lot of current for a microswitch. It may very well be the microswitch dying, not the faston. I've got some NSTs, a 15/60, 12/60 and a 12/30. Never heard of a 30kV one, 15kV is the highest I've seen. I've heard of (but never seen) a legendary 15kV 120mA NST, but they're very rare.

I've seen burnt connectors (underrated for the current) way more than I can remember. The built up heat then has caused all kinds of different problems. I think most common has been on a regular oven the main over heating protector to fail because the bad contact burned the whole protector. After changing the (spade?) connectors I use pliers to tighten them even more. Manufactures tend to use those connectors that have lock mechanism so that the connectors don't disconnect from vibrations. But the problem is then that the connector itself is loose and cannot carry the current propely and thus heating up. I guess it faster to assemble appliances that have loose connectors with lock mechanism than to use a bit more force to push in a stiff (proper) connector. Those loose connectors with locks are worst when used with magnetron. The ~3V heating current is quite high...

Great instructional video! Thanks! I have an NN-C994S and it has been working fine for 10 years. It recently started blowing the power strip I have it plugged into and I have had to reset it about 3 times in the last 6 months. Most recently, it started turning off 5 secs into a heating cycle. Now this just has to do with the microwave. The convection operation works fine which is why I am hesitant to just ditch it. I took the shell off and looked at switches in the door and nothing seemed burned. So, experimenting, I disconnected one of the connections to the magnetron and ran the unit. It shut off again but went about 10 seconds. I disconnected both leads to the magnetron and ran the unit and again, ran about 10 seconds and shut off. Then I plugged both leads back into the magnetron and ran the unit again and something close to the heat sink looking part on the Inverter board started arcing and the inverter burned pretty bad. No fuses blew and i turned everything off immediately. Is it safe to say the Inverter needs to be replaced? Is it worth the cost of the inverter? or could the magnetron still be the problem? I am at a loss as to how to proceed and like I said, hate to pitch it since the convection function still works and the combo is hard to find! Thanks for your guidance.

I would really appreciate your advice. I have easily repaired dead microwaves over the years just by replacing the micro switches on the door latches, and one by replacing the magnetron, but after a month of tinkering with my Model NN-H965wfx Panasonic Inverter microwave, I am stumped. The fuse, thermostat, and all three door switches work perfectly. I tested the switches both in and out of the microwave to ensure the latch was actuating the switches correctly. I get power through the fuse, but there are no signs of life anywhere else. The display and interior light do not light up and the microwave is totally dead. As it began to fail this microwave would randomly power off like it was unplugged, and come on when you bumped the front side near the control panel. Over a period of a few days, it required more bumping till it just quit altogether. I thought it was just a door switch, but they all tested as good. What else could totally kill all power to the microwave? I am not a repairman or electrician, but I do have a micrometer and am determined to learn what is wrong. Any help would be appreciated.

Good post - thank you! I'd be more concerned about the integrity of the spade connector rather than the wire itself. The contact area is minimal even when they are tight and in good condition. If they are slightly loose, the end result will eventually be the failure that you illustrate.

Rickmoses: This was my problem too, but after watching this video and seeing that the current is too high for the door switch design, as soon as I opened my unit up and saw a burned connector to the very same switch Telsa500 showed us how to fix, I was convinced the burned connector was limiting current flow and that is why the unit was shutting down. That the switch was still working is why the unit operates for a little while before shutting down. I opted to repair the connector by soldering

5 years ago I bought Kenmore's best microwave. 13 months later, smoke started coming out of the the top vent and you could hear it was loaded up, pulling a lot of amps. Found a couple of loose spade connectors at the high voltage diode and the diode checked as being shorted. $15 replaced the high voltage diode and the cap it was connected to. Everything was back to normal. I don't know the differences between types, does this sound like an inverter microwave and what are the differences?

It started kicking off after 3 or 4 seconds (clock stays on) but will run continuously on power level 5 - most of the time. When it does shut off on level 5 it won't run again unless I let it rest 30 seconds. This will be a tougher one for me to diagnose as there is no total component failure. I'm hoping it's the thermal cutout switch, Part # F61456N60AP.

Good video, troubleshooting... I recovered many uwaves when they were worth something - still have one old Amana - first of the consumer real stainless Inside too) when they were $900 in the 70s. Once my son called me "Dad the new microwave in the office brought down the power - they are throwing it out - do you want it?" I stiil have that one :) I too hate to see the stuff go to "recycling" which is mostly just metal recovery. Have one Panasonic inverter in the kitchen, likely 2nd gen. I then bought an clean older one for the cabin for $12 and it flaked a bit , blowing fuses. I thought it was the crowbar switch but no. After your vid I took another look as I had assumed it was the inverter. Guess what? Magnetron was 220 Ohms filament to ground :{ Problem fixing them is room for that stack of carcasses! So I said nuts and scored a rarer white one (NNST651W) cyber Monday Bbuy $99. We will see how it does. Cheers

I have a newer one of these [Panasonic [NN-T6648FX], got a Code 98. Fuse is fine. I checked the continuity on the Magnatron, have continuity between the leads, but also have continuity between the each lead and ground (this seems odd to me). Does this mean the Magnatron is bad? I looked at the manual but could not exactly figure out how to check the volts at the Inverter connectors CN702 (120v AC) and CN701 (3v AC) Also the manual says to press CLOCK TIME START POWER LEVEL to test. When I do this displays 88.90 (I think) but testing at the leads unplugged from the board I get no AC reading. So, what I really want to know is it the Magnatron, or the Inverter circuit that's bad. I want to get the diagnostics right first, then order the part. Thanks for any help you can provide! Thanks for your videos!

Did you ever get your problem fixed on your model NN-T945SFX? Mine is doing just what you mentioned showing the code H98 and not heating.

The error codes H97, H98, and H99 are used to indicate problems related to the inverter circuit and the magnetron. These codes appear on the display window after the start key is pressed and there is no microwave oscillation. Check for magnetron filament continuity.

Excellent video. My Panasonic inverter Microwave blows fuse while sitting idle. Sometimes after one hour and sometimes after one or few days while door stays closed. I checked all parts are ok and the microwave works good while fuse is not blown. Please give your comments. Thanks,

Thank you so much for great video on trouble shooting inverter microwaves. I have two of them and having trouble trouble shooting. Please help if you can. One of them have burned inverter. The other one NN-SE982S shows H97 code and does not work. I checked all switches and they all work. I also checked the Magnatron as you did and it seems to be ok. I do not know what else I can check and how. Thank you so much for your help.

Hi there, My microwave similar to these trips the circuit breaker in the house when I open the door. The door switches(3) all seem good. If I remove the earth wire nothing is tripped and all appears good.I tried using the garage outlet as it has a different breaker. When I do and I open the door the fan starts as well as the carousel motor and nothing trips. Any ideas?

I have two of these models. One has a stuck switch. One has a bad Magnatron. Is it dangerous for me to open the chassis and peek around? I have security star hex keys so I can get the cover off. Just curious as I am a novice to microwaves. One video on youtube claims lethal doses of stred electricity. I like your post video so would appreciate a reply if you have time. Thank you.

Hey Tesla, I’m in need of your expertise in finding out the problem with my Panasonic NN-CD989S inverter convection microwave. I noticed about a year ago that it made a buzzing sound for about 2 seconds when starting up exactly the same as in your video. All was still working normally despite this sound until the last time I used it when I got this burnt electronics smell from it and stopped using it. I know the magnetron is good. Do you think I need to change the inverter? Please help. Thank you 🙏

The first minute of your video is exactly what is wrong with my 2005 Panasonic Microwave. I replaced the fuse only to have to blow a few minutes later. I dug deeper (taking pictures of where all wires reconnect), and wouldn't ya know it, this switch is not 'clicking' and the right angled connection is charred. Hopefully this is all I need to purchase. As far as purchasing the part ...V-15G-3C25 15A 1/2HP 250VAC ... where do I purchase this ? Home depot ? Is there a universal ? Or do I need an Omron part ? ps. newbie.

I got hold of Panasonic and gave them the model number of my microwave. It was simply the fuse. And for around $15.00 for the fuse and the shipping costs I was able to repair the microwave. Also, I had to buy a special set of screwdrivers from Harbor Freight "security screw driver bits." It works now, so we are all happy.

Nice! this is the first time i see the inside of inverter microwaves.. Can it make some arcs? :D I'm afraid that these will get damaged if doing so.. What can you actually draw on your north-american outlet (the 15A type) before the breaker trips? Here in the EU i can draw 30Amps on a 10Amp or 40A on a 16A outlet. But only for a short period , Then it trips from heat i think.

G’day Tesla500. I don’t know if you still monitor this post but if you do..... My Panasonic NNCD987W Dimension4 microwave runs for exactly 1 minute at any setting then restarts with the “Welcome” message. If I set the timer for less than a minute it finishes correctly with the “Enjoy your meal” message. The machine is 7 years old but looks as good as new. Do you have any advice as to the problem, can I replace or adjust something to fix it? Your assistance will be greatly appreciated. Cheers, Bazza.

I have a NN-T994 series. I did the water test, each in 03 one minute intervals. Each minute test, is faintly heard as, "bzzzt-pop!" (the sound lasting 02 seconds). A slight odor is also smelled, each time getting progressively stronger. I presume this is because the fan is cooling it. The last minute test produced a very light puff of faint greyish-white smoke. Any ides? Thanks, Gordon

I am replacing my Panasonic NN-SA651S Inverter board. I forgot the mark the wire. I don't have problem this wires yellow, Brown and Orange, cos the it can only poke in one way, next I have this White and 2 brown wires, this I can plug in either way. I want to know is the White I believe is (Neutural) face outer side of the board and the remaining two Brown wires are face inside OR it can be on either side. Lastly the Two Red wires connect to the Magnetron from the Power can it be connect to either side? Thank you and hope to hear from you soon.

I've a Panasonic microwave Model number NN-A574SBBTQ about 6 years old and 2 years ago the bulb stopped working. Today I tested the continuity of the spade connections to make sure power was applied when the door was open... I figured the bulb was faulty. Anyway my multi meter accidentally touched together the spade connections of the bulb and this has now caused the microwave to blow. No power to it st all. It tripped out at the Mains, I checked the plug fuse which was ok, along with the 10amp and 16amp fuse inside the microwave. All ok but no display coming on microwave. Any idea what might be the issue?

You may be the man to ask, my Panasonic convection oven which I am pretty sure uses a direct drive turntable motor appears to have a shot motor, I am wanting to repurpose it as we now have a new convection oven as a SMD reflow oven, the part for my particular model is no longer available, being that I don't care about cooking food in it - only electronics I was wanting to know if I could replace the turntable motor with one that mechanically fits and is electrically compatible or if the internal electronics of the oven will be affected because of a difference in the motor? Also being that I will not be using the microwave side of things will the oven operate in convection mode with out the magnetron - I don't trust things that produce microwaves and wouldn't want to accidently boil my brains. Cheers in advance.

I have one of the inverter power supplies (the newer type) on my desk to refurbish a iron core transformer model, but only have the -4KV and the AC connectors. Where does the magnetron heater supply come from!?
@tesla500
@tesla500 9 жыл бұрын
The HV connections (two spade connectors near each other) drive the magnetron heater, and supply the HV as well, relative to case ground. Make sure you connect the ground strap from the inverter to the oven case. You'll need to transfer the magnetron from the inverter oven as well, the heater in the inverter magnetron is higher voltage and lower current than the one driven by the iron core transformer. The inverter won't be able to power the heater in the old oven's magnetron, I've tried this before.
