Countdown through oven's Power Levels

***Panasonic NN-S615BF is the REAL model of my Microwave Inverter Oven. It wasn't on the list below.

Recently, my microwave oven has begun BEEPING out of the blue (when it's not being used) and the display starts counting down: P 10, P 9, P 8, P 7, etc. When it reaches P 1, the countdown begins again. Only unplugging the oven stops this countdown.

This problem only occurs when the oven is plugged into a particular outlet in my kitchen.

Thanks,

Wayne

Thanks for the quick reply -- but what does "neutral ground" mean? I should say that this entire outlet was replaced by a licensed electrician a few months ago.

I just need clarification for what "neutral ground" means. I'm an electrical ignoramus.

Hello, my Panasonic 1250W Genius Sensor microwave just began doing the same P-countdown. None of the buttons work. This occurred within hours of using the microwave normally. It has been in the same plug for many months and has worked terrifically.

Panasonic microwave convection oven model NN-CD997S works normal but stop heating

Judging from the model and without looking it up I expect that unit has an inverter. If it is not the Switches and you have replaced the mag, the inverter is the power supply for the mag to work so either mag not getting power from inverter or inverter not getting signals from main PCB Timer board.

AccuWave Magnetron - "Continuous Power Levels" WhirlPool MicroWave Oven

It certainly sounds like something is wrong. My first GE microwave was like this and it wasn't advertised as anything special. After a long life I replaced it with a Sharp (makes most all microwaves) and was disappointed at the cycling on and off. Now Panasonic makes what they call Inverter microwaves with continuous power. I recently bought a GE (probably made by Panasonic) with this Inverter technology and am very pleased with it. Make sure the microwave you have says AccuWave on it, if it does, it sounds like the magnetron may have been replaced with a non-continuous type of magnetron. Was it bought refurbished/returned/clearanced? I think when I was researching this that it MAY have something to do with the type of power supply to the magnetron and not so much the magnetron itself.

6 year old Panasonic 1250W High Power Inverter Microwave Oven (Model NN-S954WF) Manufactured May 2004 has completely died. Wondering what might be the problem and is it fixable or should we just get a...

These early inverter microwaves blew their high current power transistors quite regularly. These high current power transistors are quite expensive to replace, and if one blows, there is a likelyhood of others blowing. As the microwave is over 13 years old, I'd suggest getting a new one. Inverter technology in microwaves is now a mature technology, resulting in reasonable prices and much improved reliability.

Our microwave oven Panasonic NN-S252WF stops after

Our technician suggest that there may be a problem with the Inverter Board in this model, which is something that would need to be looked at by a Service Center.

In rare cases it could be the door switches.

Oven shuts off on cook after about 2 seconds

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.

It may be a loose connection in the wiring between the inverter, magnetron, and/or control board, or maybe one of those components has failed.

Due to the lethal voltages used and produced in inverters, I do
not recommend that an inexperienced person work on these.

You can find an authorized Panasonic servicer here.

Your actual model number is located on a tag around the control panel frame, door or below the cooking cavity.
