How to replace Fuse and where is the Fuse located?
SOURCE: Microwave
The Panasonic NN-S960WA (may be identical) has the fuse at back, right, on top, & inside the cover. The screws are tamper proof screws. You can create a slot in the heads (2 screws) with a hacksaw blade and open with a flat blade screw driver. Don't forget to unplug the unit first.
SOURCE: Internal ceramic fuse repeatly blown.
If it went dead almost
immediately after pressing the Start pad, that's usually a shorted
high-voltage capacitor.
If it went dead
several seconds after pressing the Start pad, that's usually a
failing
high-voltage transformer.
If
it goes dead or blows the breaker (or GFI) when you plug it in or open
or close
the door, then there's a problem with a door switch or door switch
mount. See: http://www.microwavedisplay.com/doorsw.txt in this case.
If this unit has an inverter some parts are difficult for the average do it yourselfer to replace, such as parts which are spot welded, not using removable connectors.
In such cases, it's best to replace the entire inverter.
Due to the lethal
voltages used and produced in inverters, I do not recommend that an
inexperienced person work on them.
