I've a 2 year old Panasonic Slimline Microwave, it's served us well, however after cooking some jacket potatoes on the jacket potatoe function, followed by a standard burst by the microwave, realised it had possibly over heated as tripped the electrical board. Ever since I have only been able to start it, and it virtually turns off after a second or two of operation. Anyone have any idea what may be causing this, or where I could have it repaired.

Many thanks

It's possible that you could have a problem with the inverter. Normally I'd say it might be a H.V. transformer problem, or a capacitor but the inverter has replaced both of those.
You'll have to get it looked at by a certified Microwave repair company. If it is the inverter, you'll probably find it cheaper to get the unit replaced than get it fixed.
