Our panasonic Microwave/convection is totally non-responsive--no lights, no sounds, etc.
Hello,
the problem of this unit is power related.
First, remove the unit's power cord from the wall, wait for
about 30mins, then plug it back in. It may cool by then and might
power on. If it doesn't power on, plug it into another outlet, to make
sure there electricity entering into the unit.
If plugging into another power outlet doesn't power it on then the unit is most likely having a power problem.
When electric current comes from the power outlet into the cooker, it goes straight into the power supply board which then
circulates the current into the unit. So if the cooker doesn't power
on, the first thing is to make sure there is power entering into the
machine.
So check the power cord, if it is a 3-pin plug, it must have a
fuse in it. check the fuse if it is not blown. if fuse is intact, then
power supply board should be checked.
If any machine or electronics device doesn't power on, it means
its having a power problem. it might have worked fine in the past, but
that's electronics for you. Power surge, irregular power supply, excess
power supply, etc can affect the unit thereby not making it to power on.
This unit must have a power supply board in it where power enters
from the mains. A capacitor, fuse, diode, etc may have been defective on
the power board and maybe that's why its not making the unit turn on.
There might also be some disconnection or something, inside the unit
which is not making it to power on.
To actually find out what's wrong, you need to disassemble the
unit with a screw driver and check what's wrong. You will be needing a
meter and continuity tester in order to read the components on the power
board, once you detect any bad component, you can make necessary
replacement at any electronics accessories store withing our vicinity.
This is the only way by which you can detect the problem.
Of course, testing the power board with a meter will require
someone that has the ability. So it you can't, then you might be needing
the help of a repairman or you can call a friend that has the ability
to help you out.
I wish you the best of luck.
Regards.
