So any help on what's up, and what to do about it?

I had something similar and it turned out to be the magnetron breaking
down under load.


I've got one on order, plus 10 fuses....


I didnt realise it was economically viable to replace magnetrons. I must
admit, if our ancient Panasonic ever dies (about 35 years old), if possible
I would like it repaired as it has a proper mechanical countdown timer
and a real bell that goes ding. ;-)


I don't think it would be economical to replace the glass turntable on
mine as I think they charge £25 including carriage and the oven cost £40.

In case I break it, I've lifted the turntable from one someone threw out.
