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.
Ummm.did you read the subject line?

must be a multi way plug :-) as its only the heating not working

If the earth bond is not connected properly, the microwave side of the
appliance may not work properly.


Why ever not?
