The microwave has begun intermittently not heating, you set the time required press start then it either doesn't start the turntable rotating or it steps to cooling mode and if it does work sometimes the food is not hot. Return to store and was told if nothing found faulty there is a charge involved. So much for warranty and service, item bought in December. What can be done?

Contact Panasonic but as the shop says they may charge you ......tell all your friends ,,,dont buy Panasonic products

I took mine back to the store with the original receipt and they gave me a new one on the spot..........both times. I would tell them that you WILL be contacting consumer affairs if it is not replaced.

From ACCC:

Consumers’ right to a remedy for goods that

fail a statutory condition or warranty has no set

time limit but instead depends on what would

be reasonable, given the cost and quality of

the item. This means that consumers’ statutory

rights may entitle them to have defective

goods replaced or repaired after any voluntary

or extended warranty has expired.

Thank you all for the suggestions would you believe its working ok now. But because companies like Panasonic are outsourcing their product, they have lost control of the quality control or their attitude has changed which suggests you can buy anything for a price if it fails buy another hence our throwaway society. Very disappointing

Simple, have the store staff test it and confirm the fault. Its a microwave oven, not a NASA control system.

I purchased my Panasonic microwave nn-st641w 3 years ago. Recently it has started cutting out during cooking and reverting to the display you get when there's been a powercut. The casing feels quite hot to the touch. I'm concerned that it might be unsafe. Do I need to chuck out my microwave or is it a repairable fault? 3 years doesn't seem like a great lifespan for a microwave.

Hi there, theese models of Panasonic Microwave have been well known for their unreliability _ with many reported faults . Panasonic has really dropped the ball in terms of quality! Unfortunately these models are not repairable and from your description it sounds like outright fire danger. I would advice you to widen your choice of brands and don't just bind yourself to this brand.

My last panasonic lasted 13 years so when it stopped working I replaced it with the NN-ST641S.

My query is the annoying cool down... why is it's purpose? Can I turn it off? Is it a problem if I take my food out after 10 seconds like i want then close the door and the cool down continues... does it harm the microwave?

Jyoti
Jyoti  

The cool down function is in built for the microwave's inverter technology that assists in even heating of the food (so you don't have to keep stiring the food every now and then as microwaves without inverter tends to heats unevenly and food in the ceter of the bowl or dish tends to be cooler than the outer side).

You can take out your food from the microwave anytime even after a few seconds and it automatically goes to cooling mode for some time e.g. 10 seconds. This is normal and all invrter micrwave should work like this. Only thing to remember - do not power off the microwave at the power switch.

The after cooking cooling function is a 'feature' of the inverter system. Early Panasonic inverter m/w had problems with the inverter high power transistors 'cooking' as they suffered from 'heat soak' after the oven cooling fan stopped at the end of cooking, and then the transistors failed from overheating. Panasonic programmed in a 'cooling cycle' in all newer units to prevent premature inverter switching transister failure. In older systems, there was a repair kit from Panasonic with better transistors and a larger heatsink. I had this kit fitted to the 'dead' m/w I got for free, and it's been working for 12 years now, with just a replacement globe needed.

Each time we turn our microwave on the whole power of the house will go off from main switch board . Why this happening ?

I guess is short circuit. The best way is talk to Panasonic. Good luck!!

Gosh, that's a worry. Short answer - take it back to the store. Longer answer - Is it the whole house or one fuse? If it's the whole house I'd call an electrician in case one of your circuit breakers is faulty.

I remember one house I lived in would blow a fuse if I ran the microwave, toaster and kettle at the same time. Rather than play about with the the circuit breakers, I just avoided running all 3 at once. But if yours is blowing every time, that suggests something more serious. Take it back to store..

Mine just started doing this. As soon as we press the start button it trips the safety switch in the meter box. Any answers?

Upper plate of cover becomes over heated when microvawe is working, what can i do?

Paul
Paul  

I am not sure which plate you are talking about but I have noticed that some plates and bowls become very hot in the microwave and some stay cool. I think it just depends what they are made of, just trial and error really until you find ones that stay cool.

White china plates and bowls normally stay cool.

Hope that helps

If you mean the top of the microwave gets very hot, the answer is 'yes'. The top of every microwave gets hot...this is part of the reason for the cooling function after the cooking completes. But it's also important to keep the top and sides well ventilated to give the micro the best chance of cooling down.

But don't be alarmed about the hot top. It gets hot but it's normal.
