If you're referring to the cavity light, it's possible the bulb is just loose in its socket. The cover has to be removed to access the bulb.

Chances are you have a bad stirrer motor or the stirrer blade is jamming or loose on the motor shaft.

Your owner's manual should tell you how to remove the stirrer cover to check it.

If for some reason you don't have your owner's manual, you can download it free here, as well as the parts manual for your model.

You can also find helpful exploded view diagrams and order parts by entering your full model number here.

SOURCE: top of over-the-range microwave hot to touch; normal?

A little over 100F is hotter than most folks can stand to touch, so it may not be seriously hot.

But if you're concerned, you might see if your dealer will let you test another one or a similar model at the store to see if it also gets that hot.

Otherwise, you can return it to be safe or you can contact Panasonic consumer electronics support here or at 1-800-211-7262 to ask them about it.

Our microwave does not consistently come on. When we put in the time to cook it tells us to open/close door. If the cavity light comes on then it works, if not it doesn't work. Please HELP! Thank you

Sounds like you have one or more faulty micro-switches for the door. They are not expensive to get, but your service center will likely charge you a lot to fix it. If you are handy, you can pull the case off and replace them yourself.

Microwave won't heat for first minute - starts working normally after that.

The magnetron may be defective. You can replace the magnetron, there is no other possibility.

Recently the light flickers and gets dimmer, then back to normal, several times while heating something in the oven Just wondered if this is some simple thing to take care of, or should we consider...

Sounds like an arcing switch or connection, or maybe the light itself is not making a good connection. Check the plug in the outlet socket to see if it gets hot after heating something. Wiggle the cord to see if the light flickers. The door switch is a microswitch type and should make a positive 'click' when operated.
