Panasonic NN A773 combi oven on 240 V. The (internal) fuse blows when
cooking (microwave) cycle starts. The oven is brandnew and gave in after
about 20 min usage.

I opened the thing up to firdst discharge the High voltage cap, but there
is none obviously present?? I have fixed several microwaves but this one
seems to be a bit more sophisticated. Is the HV cap integrated with the
magnetron?

I have checked the door switches and they seem OK. No signs on the HV
board of burning or melting. However the rectifier has no resistance over
the AC pins, but looks clean and no signs of any shortcuts while it blew
a 13 A fuse in a fraction of a second.

Anyone any suggestions about the HV cap and suggestion what else to
check.

It's brand new- put the covers back on and get it fixed under warranty. Of
course, you may well be told the warranty is void if they realise you've
been inside.
