Panasonic H97 and H98 Errors
H97 and H98 indicate a fault in the high-voltage inverter circuit or magnetron. The microwave detects that power is not reaching the cavity and stops. We test the inverter board and magnetron and replace the failed part.

Panasonic pioneered inverter microwaves, and their NN-series models are very common in Dubai homes. When a Panasonic stops heating, it often shows H97 or H98, codes that point to the inverter circuit or magnetron.
Combination Ovens
Panasonic combination microwaves add a grill and convection heater. If only the microwave function fails, the inverter or magnetron is at fault; if only the grill or convection fails, it is the heater, fan or thermal fuse.
How We Repair a Panasonic Microwave, Step by Step
Our Panasonic process:
- 1We note the H code (H97, H98) or symptom.
- 2The capacitor is discharged and the inverter board tested.
- 3The magnetron and door switches are checked.
- 4Grill and convection parts are tested on combination models.
- 5After the quoted repair, heating is verified.
Why Panasonic Inverter Microwaves Cook Differently
A conventional microwave simulates low power by switching the magnetron fully on and off. Panasonic inverter microwaves deliver genuinely lower, continuous power, which defrosts and simmers more evenly. That is also why the inverter board matters: if it fails, the microwave may not heat at all, or may show H97 or H98. Replacing the board restores the smooth low-power cooking Panasonic is known for.
Panasonic Microwave Error Codes
| Code | What it means | Usual fix |
|---|---|---|
| H97 | Inverter circuit or magnetron fault | Test the inverter board and magnetron; replace the failed part. |
| H98 | Inverter circuit or magnetron fault | Test the inverter board and magnetron; replace the failed part. |
Frequently Asked Questions
What does H98 mean on a Panasonic microwave?
The microwave has detected a high-voltage or magnetron fault. It needs a technician; do not open the casing.
Are you the Panasonic service center?
No, we are independent. See Panasonic appliance repair.
Why does my Panasonic microwave defrost unevenly?
Inverter microwaves defrost gently at low power. If defrosting is suddenly uneven or cooks the edges, the inverter circuit may not be regulating power correctly.
Can you repair Panasonic combination microwave ovens?
Yes, including microwave, grill and convection functions.
Can a normal board be fitted to a Panasonic inverter microwave?
No. It needs the correct inverter board for the model.
Why does my Panasonic microwave turn off by itself?
Overheating from blocked vents or a failing inverter board.
