.....on Monday evening SWMBO threw (inadvertantly, I hasten to add) a mug of tea on to the kitchen floor via a cannon off the microwave. The floor tiles luckily survived, but the mug didn't, and the microwave was drenched in tea. Tuesday morning, said device was as dead as a dodo. Quelle coincidence, says I, before she had chance to say "Nowt to do with me". Anyway, checked fuse in plug, and all was OK. Removing the case, I checked the habitual "slow blow" fuse at the power input internally, and that was dead. Two ordered for £1.99 off eBay arrived today. First was fitted and up came the microwave, heated up a cup of water placed in it, and then promptly died when the program finished and the door was opened. It was now destined for the dump household waste recycling facility, but, with a second fuse and nothing to use it in, I thought I'd have another try. This one has so far survived, so keep your fingers crossed. (These slow-blow fuses are notoriously fickle, and I'm sure it had nothing to do with the internal part I just might not have secured properly the first time - no siree)

Tea? That what she said it was? Bouncing stuff off kitchen equipment tends to suggest something from a bottle rather than a bag...
You'd think anyway ! 😉

Believe you me, it was tea, interspersed with shards of a venerable Denby mug.

Six months on from the unexplained coma of our Panasonic combi, I decided that the high-voltage capacitor was probably safely discharged, so I took off the cover.
I was expecting to find a blown power supply fuse, and to replace it with the one I'd bought from off of the Internet. Instead I found two fuses in the power supply - and both tested fine.
So the thing is officially scrap because I don't know what's wrong with it. We have a new one of the same type; for £150 it wasn't worth messing about - but if the old one had been an easy fix it could have gone in the loft for a boy to leave home with - assuming they ever do, of course.

......unfortunately, after functioning fine for a few days, mine went pop again - so that is officially scrap also....
