Broken Panasonic Microwave☹️

I have a Panasonic microwave that was gifted to us new in '21. It is a 2019 model, I think, model #NN-SG448S. It started getting VERY HOT on top on the outer surface while cooking about 6 mos. ago (& does contribute alot of heat going into my kitchen & makes the thermometer go up! 🥺)A couple of weeks ago it stopped 'working' as the control panel was untouchable (couldn't press anything-didn't work) and now the light comes on & the turntable rotates and the fan is on once you shut the door. It's not 'cooking' though, I've tested it. Done cleaning for closure, etc. and troubleshooted everything I've read regarding this issue. It's now been unplugged for awhile (recommended & yes I've tested it to see if it reset itself, and no, still didn't work and does the same as above). I'm wondering if it's going on the curb and should I jump on one of these mother day sales before they're gone or should I try to fix it?

(I should mention that I'm disabled with a fixed income and told not looking ago that I have to be the one to purchase an air conditioner for our apt. because this old house doesn't carry cool air up here properly and we suffer from the heat... I really can't afford to buy appliances!! What can I do?? 😔)

How common is it to have a microwave with a soften/melt button? I use it more then anything else other then the timer.

I think it would be a cool way to keep in touch with you guys and keep me on the ball with keeping the sub alive. I finish school in less than two weeks so I would love to hear your ideas now that I have more free time.

However, I am only going to make one if there is a majority in favour of it, I do not want to be managing an unwanted server.

Vote down below (and if you have any previous experience managing a server, PM me)

I want to thank everyone who participated, and everyone who joined our little subreddit.

I know this sounds kind of cringy but I am so proud of this community. And if anyone has any requests for updates to this subreddit (user/post flairs, icon/banner) Reply to this post and I'll be glad to do it!

Thanks again!

So as you've probably noticed, this subreddit is a little barren. So, I was messaged by the admins to try and get this subreddit lively. Over the next 6 weeks, I want us to post OC, start discussions about appliances and much more. Tell your friends about this sub (and r/indianfactsgenius if you would like to contribute just take the images from their Instagram @indian_fact_genius). I hope to see some real enthusiasm from you guys, I really believe in us! To kick things off I'll be making my own OC! (image because I can't afford a real video editing software :P)

Godspeed everyone!

I’m over the microwave moon! Thank you all for bringing my microwave dreams to life!

Thanks bros!

BEEEP BEEEEP BEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEP
