Panasonic Microwave Problem
Hello:
Have a Panasonic Microwave purchased in '98. Model is MMN-S768. Lately, it won't heat anymore, usually, and what I guess is a code appears on the display: "H98" About 25 % of the time, though, it does work. Any idea what this code signifies ? What's a typical lifetime for something like this ? Any thoughts would be most appreciated. Thanks, Bob |

Everything is possible, but the first thing I would guess is a fault in the control circuitry, but can't say where there.. :-| But the first thing I would suspect are electrolytic capacitors. If u have an ESR-meter, measure the ESR's of those el.caps. What's a typical lifetime for something like this ? Hmm...I've found Panasonic pretty high quality microwave.. As although the quality has decreased a lot on most electronic devices within the past 15 years, my friend has an about 5 years old Panasonic microwave with no problems, and that seems to be pretty durable microwave. And I have a Panasonic microwave too, made in the 80's, I got it a few years ago freely, as broken. I repaired it, there were just a shorted resonance capacitor and a blown main fuse due to it. It also seems to be very durable and high-quality device. So I would think that yours is worth repairing. |
