Panasonic microwave oven NN-SV79MS error message

[kalanikaau1]

Hello,

I purchased this Panasonic oven 4 months ago and have occasionally been getting an E5 message from it, this happens when I program the oven to initially heat food, then to keep the food warm for 5 minutes or longer.

This E5 message renders the appliance useless and will disappear after a few minutes, the display will show the time of day and will then become functional again.

The one and only Panasonic repair facility near me is instructing me to bring the oven for service, with an estimated repair time frame of at least a month.

Has anyone else had the same problem with their Panasonic oven?

Sounds like the magnetron is not drawing the amount of power needed. Heard it's pretty common to happen on those Midea made microwaves.

Is this just a countertop microwave oven, what was the initial cost of it?

I would consider asking them to replace it. Microwave ovens can still be serviced, but often are not worth servicing, If you bought it on a charge card, call the charge company and ask them to do a chargeback if necessary to get their attention.

I didn't think Midea was making any of Panasonic's microwave ovens.

They have been for a while actually from my understanding. But I believe their commercial models are made by someone else or maybe by themselves. I know Sharp assembles some of their own.

Speaking of Sharp

May I suggest a real, no none sense time proven microwave oven with abundant 5 star reviews and a low return rate? You won't be disappointed with what is essentially the direct drives of microwave ovens. Heating so perfect, so even, you don't need power levels.
