How to Troubleshoot a Panasonic 1250 Microwave

Panasonic offers owners of 1250 watt microwaves a few suggestions for troubleshooting the device. Fortunately for Panasonic microwave owners, many of the issues that they might face are fairly simple to diagnose and remedy. Those issues might relate to power issues or they could stem from things such as the touch pad not working correctly.

Instructions

    • 1

      If you are having problems getting the microwave to start, unplug the microwave from the wall outlet for 10 seconds, then plug it in and try again.

    • 2

      Check your home's breaker box or fuse box if there is no power to the microwave.

    • 3

      Plug another appliance in the outlet to see if that appliance works with the outlet. Try plugging the microwave into a different outlet to see if it works. If so, the outlet may need to be replaced.
