    ALWAYS discharge the high-voltage capacitor first if you even think your hands will come close to any HIGH VOLTAGE components.

    Jeff mentions this: Anything in the high voltage ( magnetron, capacitor, diode, wires to and from ):
    ...Use a metal ( not the shiny chrome type ) screw driver with a insulated handle to short across ( touch both at the same time ) the terminals of the high voltage capacitor to discharge it.

I have a Panasonic inverter microwave NN-H765WF that had a non working turntable (everything else worked OK). I proceeded to open the access panel, and was testing for voltage at the carousel motor (to determine if the problem was a faulty motor), and when using my ohmmeter, I failed to notice that it was not set properly, and something shorted. Now, the microwave does not run, and when I open the door, there is a humming/fan sound. Any ideas? Did I totally ruin this thing Sad Any advice would be appreciated!
 
Hi,

Panasonic inverter microwave

First problem.

I failed to notice that it was not set properly, and something shorted

Second problem.

Now, the microwave does not run, and when I open the door, there is a humming/fan sound. Any ideas?

Shorted something on the pcboard :(
New microwave time is likely cheaper.
