A retracting cord "wraps" and this can cause fillaments to fail making a fire hazard. That is what is happening to my current Panasonic.

I had other bad experiences with this iron. Steam left big water spots on silk ruining a lovely scarf After using it once I gave it away. Didn't use it long enough to have trouble with the filaments. Sorry. Marci

I'd suggest you call Customer Service (if you are able to make calls) 1-800-332-5368 or try http://www.panasonic.com/help It could be something with your base phone and a possibility the others are not registered to it, or perhaps answering machine, if you have one on your base phone? Just a thought on these! I did call Customer Service once, and they were very helpful! Also - if you have other phones of a different maker, that could confuse your phones. Someone I knew had their phones all messed up and it was due to a Uniden phone. Once the Uniden was disconnected, other phones worked. I don't see anything in the manual on the base phone in "troubleshooting" relating to this, so perhaps a call is needed??

Try google. It is most likely one of two boards failed. It seems SS board the more frequent culprit. There is a YouTube video instructing how to replace the board but finding a new board may be difficult. I assume TV is out of warranty. You could pay an authorized Panasonic repair shop but it will cost around $400-$500. It is also possible to remove board and send it out for repair. Cost < $100. Again, Google is your friend :)

Richard, Although I've heard of others that have had this problem, I haven't experienced it. This was discussed back in May and maybe June on certain forums and reviews. Maybe Panasonic addressed the problem when shipping units after that. In any case, it's not an issue with mine.

Mine has done the same thing after about 2 years of limited use (non daily, maybe 8-10 hours a week). After a few bad experiences in a row with panasonic products, this will be my last one.

You may want to contact Panasonic on that one. The housing has no contact with the motor and the motor is designed for continuous duty so I doubt the heat is that extreme. Also the fact it is designed for attic installation would make me think that would not be an issue. There are always exceptions. I would not recommend stuffing it in and around fan to "insulate". Best bet would be to contact the manufacturer.

It sounds like you have a defective device. Contact Panasonic Customer Service or Amazon customer service.

I use premium fuel. it helps. Don't pull too hard or you will be replacing the cord. I had to replace my cord when mine didn't start and I pulled the cord out of the unit. I have the same problem. I've complained to Earthquake but they didn't seem to care.

I bought this charger and it gets hot too, I feared that the cable could be damaged from heat, so I stopped using it for phone charging and contacted customer support.

According to their website, Panasonic states you can place loose fill or batt insulation directly over the unit to prevent heat from escaping. I would confirm that with your installer, however, or contact customer support at Panasonic. These are great units and I'm about to buy more of them.

my family has made pizzelles fr 3 generation. We love our pizzelles but you seem to be making commercial size orders and the fact you have burned out several "I would call this a human malfunction" and just as you said you have burned out several. Iam surprized your cording did not over heat and have a flash electrical fire. Just my family's opinion. We do have 2 electricians and 2 electrical engineers and they said check w manufacture for this issue. We bakers have several different models and have no problems.

Bill has a good point, but I would recommend you read our discussion in my review first and make your own decision. I have used it like this for a long time until one day the wires melted! I am sure others have had better luck, it's only how much of a risk you are willing to take.

Save yourself some money and get a different microwave. Mine was well ventilated and still broke after one and half years. Looks like a defect on these microwaves and many people complain about the same thing. Called Panasonic and they didn't help me at all.

I would report that and exchange it for a new one. That can cause an electrical fire.
