Diagnosing Panasonic microwave oven stoppages:</b><br>
<br>
If it stops after 22 seconds, that means the controller has detected a problem,
usually a problem with the inverter, controller,&nbsp;magnetron, or a bad connection
from one or the other.</span></font><br>
<font face="arial,helvetica,sans-serif"><span style="font-family: Arial;"><br>
If it stops at 16 seconds and is a sensor model, it probably has a defective
humidity sensor.<br>
<br>
If it stops after 7 seconds, it has a problem with the&nbsp;inverter.</span></font><br>
<font face="arial,helvetica,sans-serif"><span style="font-family: Arial;"><br>
If the digital programmer circuit / controller does not get a feedback signal
from the inverter for a period of 3 seconds, the controller will stop the cook
cycle.<br>
<br>
Or see if this describes what's happening:<br>
<br>
Put in time, push start and unit runs for 2 seconds, relay clicks, unit goes
off. Cook time on display goes off and clock time comes back. Bad upper
interlock switch and charred connector. If so, see:<br>

It may be a loose connection in the wiring between the inverter,&nbsp;magnetron,

    Good morning, Thanks for the reply, I am aware of the danger but I have experience in electronics, I checked the inverter board, power supply, and I found a diode UX-C2B in short, I replaced it I tried again to run the microwave and it is broken again, quancosa is definitely in short, I checked the condensers of power but I am ok, I also checked the power mosfet inverter with special tool but even these are ok I guess is because of the magnetron is broken or short but I do not know how to measure. The cause of the non-operation of the microwave think it was a layer of dust which closed the ventilation area thus bringing high temperatures within the oven. Do you think it could be the magnetron? you know how I can understand if the cause is his?

I have a Panasonic Microwave the Genius Prestige and when I set the time to cook it turns off in 9 seconds even though I set it for 50 seconds. what should I do?

You have a defective timer circuit board, which I assume is part of the main board of the microwave. If the unit is older just replace it, if it is relatively new call a Panasonic repair service and get an estimate to repair it, I think you will be shocked by the cost to repair.

Microwave stops after 59 seconds

Check that a "favourite" setting has not been selected. The unit may think that is the time that you want to cook. Im not sure about your model but see if there is any clear or cancel buttons to clear any pre programmed selections. If not, unplug the machine for 15 minutes to reset the controller and try it again.

Ge eterna series - installed above oven. microwave stops working and display instructs to set time and date, then after setting time and date and starting oven again it stops after a few seconds and asks...

The magnetron draws a lot of power and the mains may be dipping beneath an acceptable level, causing the panel to reset.
Check the supply cable size and any connections.

Setting the clock on a microwave what is the last action after setting the time. Everything I've tried results in the error message coming up.

According to the manual this is how to set clock.


To set the clock, press "Clock" once or "Timer/Clock" twice (depending on your keypad).
The colon symbol (:) will flash.
Enter time of day. The time appears in the window; the colon continues to flash.
Press "Clock" or "Timer/Clock" again - colon stops flashing; time of day is set.

If you need the manual it is on link below.

The microwave stops after a few seconds. It starts, but stops before the set time is completed. The oven is five years old.

Does the oven's key pad seem to reset like a breaker flipped inside? And after, you have to reset the clock? If so, check the temperature cutoff switches inside. Jumper across them and see if your microwave starts working correctly. I had this problem and the Bottom TCO was defective.
