Post the wiring diagram if you have one. It might help.

it is a Panasonic Genesis Prestige - so it has more bells and whistles. last night i when looking for a new microwave, i noticed that they still carry the model we have. although it is stainless front they were selling for $300 incl. tax mine was white and i think i paid about $250 about 5-7 years ago.
so i ended up getting a $400 panasonic (probably one of their highest end counter top models, which was on sale for $250 tax in.
i will likely spend the $25 on the parts for the other one to see if it can be fixed.

It looks to me that there is something else wrong besides the door switches and fuse. If this is a regular counter top microwave, then it's probably not worth such repair.
I'm not able to provide more accurate technical advice because of lack of information from Panasonic.

fuse blew the other day on Panasonic NN-P794wf. i think primary switch #1 may be gone b/c the one wire on terminal connector is browned/melted plastic. it needs a 18 or 20amp fuse. i can not locate one here for over a week but did try a 15A fuse and it works until you try to put food int for longer than 30 seconds. right now i am looking to having to wait 2 weeks plus for parts.
it is recommended to replace all the switches and fuse and power relay. is that all really required. i dont mind the switches, but is the relay also required. is this a solder job for the relay or just a plug in style.
now i have also read that you have to be careful with how the swithces are put in or it can result in radiation leak. i cant find anything specific for this model (i.e. service manual) where it says this.
given that this model is probably 6-7 years old, i know it is not likely worth taking into a repair place, however, spending 25 in switches and fuses i can live with.
i will likely buy a new one on my way home tonight, but just wondering if this is worthy of a repair for a upgrade at the cottage. any info would be helpful
