I have a Panasonic Microwave Mod. NN - S543BFR. Serial 6A84100983 Manuf August 2004. While trying to bake potatoes it quit working. I set the time to run to 12 min and it quit after about 40 seconds. The fan was running but there was no heating. I tried to melt butter setting timer for 30 seconds and no heat was produced. Is there anything I can do? Danny in Corpus Christi, Tx 78410.
Dan, That unit has an inverter, that is the power source for the part that puts out the Microwave energy called the Magnetron. The inverters are expensive and I stopped doing warranty work for Panasonic beacuse of them. Some pencil pusher somewhere though it was a great idea to replace 3 common fairly inexpensive parts. with that dang inverter. Microwaves have come down a lot in cost, I would buy a new one without an inverter. Sorry, wish I had better suggestions, I DO NOT LIKE THEM. LOL Sorry! Panasonic and their distributors are always out of them and there so expensive no one wants to stock them. I have had new ones sent to me that were already bad.

If the screen is showing a fault number or a number you havent seen before then its probably a program fault which can't be fixed. Check that the vent holes on the back of the oven aren't dirty and ensure that the whole oven is clean inside. Sadly it sounds like a program fault which cant usually be fixed by the owner though.
Finding a Panasonic oven repairer in the UK shouldnt be a problem though. My parents had a simlar problem wth their Panasonic Inverter oven, called the UK customer services and Panasonic contacted an authorised repairer in Scotland to visit them. Call customer services on 0844 844 3868.
If the call out charge exceeds £80 then you're probably better off buying a new oven.
