Click For Summary
A Panasonic microwave display went dark without any prior warning, prompting a discussion about potential causes and solutions. Common failure modes include a blown fuse, malfunctioning door interlock switches, or issues with the circuit board. Users emphasized the importance of checking the fuse first, as it may have blown due to age or a short circuit. Some suggested that if the microwave failed silently, it might be worth attempting a repair, while others recommended replacing the unit due to the cost and complexity of repairs. Ultimately, the consensus leaned towards examining the internal components for visible issues before deciding on a replacement.

It says 20A 250V.
Also look for other markings, something like MDA.
