We recommend you have an authorized service center location replace the light bulb. Authorized service centers can be found in the below link.

Go to this website they may have the part number for this part. http://www.manualslib.com/manual/192266/Panasonic-Nn-9804.html?page=40#manual

This is usually a pretty simple fix.

The spring has probably become disconnected from the door latch head assembly or inner door panel.

If so, you can either order a replacement for the broken part, or install a small screw into the broken part, reinforce it with epoxy, and then reassemble everything.

Normally you have to separate the door panels (as shown in the attached photo) and then you'll see the parts involved.



Or you can watch a YouTube video (not a video I made) that demonstrates how it's done.

We're happy to help you with free advice and we'd appreciate your thoughtful rating of our answer.

Take side panels off and press the button through from the back, my husband has just done this tonight on our Panasonic microwave model NN-ST477 as the door would not open. He found a piece of plastic like a hook had snapped off. The door now opens and functions normally. Took about 30 minutes to do . If and when it becomes stuck again we know that we will need a new replacement button. Hope this helpskind regardsChristine

just disconnect from the power and take out the screws from the cover around and you will see a plastic color white then remove a screw from them and you find the bulb replace and return all parts back

my microwave shuts off after a few seconds. is there a fuse that needs replacing?

Hello, I also have a Panasonic Microwave ( model NN-S 564 or 574 ?) They are very similar.
I have just removed the outer cover 5 screws ( unplug of course ) and have located the bulb holder which is a white plastic component with two clips holding the globe, pull it out and remove the two spade clips connected to the globe. The globe will come away attached to a black plastic mount. Next........do the run around to find someone who sells it.
Perth has an authorized distributer/repairer in Myaree whose details I got from Panasonic. He may sell them. otherwise I will try a couple of specialist light globe suppliers I know....PROLAMPS in Belmont and one in BALCATTA whose name escapes me but I have been there before...Hope this helps others.

could it be that i didn't follow the manuel because i got it second hand or is it because something is wrong with it,and i have to get it fixed.

It sounds like one of the wires or serkits are loos so the electrisity is not getting to it all the way I would return it or take it apart and try to fix it your self.
