My Panasonic 1250W Genius microwave just began a P-error-countdown. No button works. Has been working well. Has been in same plug for many months. How do I fix it?
A P-error-countdown on a Panasonic Genius microwave can be caused by a number of issues.
First, try unplugging the microwave for a few minutes and then plugging it back in. This can often clear any temporary error codes and restore the microwave to normal operation.
If the problem persists, check to make sure the door is closing properly and securely. A damaged or misaligned door can cause the microwave to think that it is open and prevent it from working.
The issue could also be caused by a problem with the microwave's control panel. Try to reset the microwave by unplugging it for a few minutes and then plugging it back in.
If the issue continues, it is likely that there is a malfunction with the microwave's control board or other internal component. It's best to contact the manufacturer for assistance or take it to an authorized service center for repair.
It's important to never try to repair a microwave oven by yourself as it can be dangerous and may cause damage to the appliance or even injury.

Testimonial: "Thank you Stergios! VERY HELPFUL! Unfortunately, I tried all of your suggestions but they did not help. But now the countdown has stopped, the display reads 88:88 and no button works."
A "P-error" countdown on a microwave typically indicates a problem with the unit's touchpad or control panel. The first step in troubleshooting this issue would be to unplug the microwave and wait a few minutes before plugging it back in. This can sometimes reset the control panel and clear the error. If the problem persists, it's possible that the touchpad or control panel may need to be replaced. It's also possible that there may be an issue with the microwave's power source or internal components. It is best to consult the user manual or contact the manufacturer for further troubleshooting steps or to schedule a repair.
