As it says above basically, my 2 yr old panasonic digital microwave
has given up it's primary function of heating food.
Is it worth repairing, it only cost 70 quid and can possibly get a
replacement for cheaper these days.
If I thought it was a simple fuse or something I'd have ago at
changing it.
Any suggestions?

First thing to check is the plug. Make sure all connections in the plug are
made off correctly and are tight. If it's a moulded plug, check the flex
for damage from the plug to the casing of the oven. If the cable is
damaged, get someone to replace it for you. Remember that engineers have to
be licensed to work on microwave cooking appliances.


If its under warranty, get it fixed. If it sn;t, by all means take it
apart and look for something obvious, but my guess is that to fox
something like that - its likely a blown microwave ptube, or power
supply, will mena a long wait for parts not available, and a lot of labour.

Ditch it and buy a 50 quid one.
