Default Panasonic Inverter Microwave

Steve Kraus formulerede Monday:
Don't mess around if you don't know what you're doing.


I checked that the magetron filament is not open nor is it shorted go
ground so all things point to the inverter. I may check for bad HV diodes
and a few other things. I found a good resource he

In the end I will just get another oven. I'm disappointed though at how
few of the mid-size units have a door that simply pulls open. (The broken
unit has this.) Pushing a button to pop the door open may seem a trivial
difference but why go through two motions when you can do one?


Many reasons advocate a pushputton lock.

With a pushbutton lock, you can get more force keeping the door locked.

The pushbutton can turn off the microwaves before the door opens.

If you pull the door open, a door switch have to turn off the
microwaves, and it might be possible to just opening the door a few
millimeters without turning off the oven, so microwaves can escape.

A push on the button can only push the oven "inwards", while a pull in
a handle can pull the oven on the floor, especially when microwave
ovens doors have to be kept closed with a comparatively large force.

When I press the open-button, the door swings completely open, I don't
need to also open the door manually.
