Panasonic Microwave: model NN-SN966S Lost all control of the keypad exept Reset

Sun, 29 Mar 2026 17:44:33 -0700

First, out of the blue, the display screen showed the Power Level counting down repeatedly (P 10, P 9...) while at the same time the speaker was sending out a continuous beep, beep, beep.

When I unplugged the device for a couple minutes, then plugged the power cable back into the socket, the display came up flashing and showed 88:88. I pressed every button on the keypad and only the Reset button worked clearing the display and showed : and again none of the keys on the keypad worked.

Anyone have any ideas? I'm thinking maybe the keypad failed or possibly the microprocessor. Is this even fixable?

Thermomix TM5: Dial jumps when selecting speed temp etc

Sun, 29 Mar 2026 10:52:40 -0700

I have one of these, it is working fine Except for the dial. Selecting an adequate temperature or time is kind of a minigame. For one dial step sometimes goes back and forth, sometimes does the right thing or sometimes makes a big bump. I was bearing with it because it was just an annoyance, but has been three onions that I only wanted "chopped" and I ended with them utterly pulped because the dial decided it.

I guess I only need to clean contacts, but before try to tear it I was hopping if someone here has some experience, If it is an easy task or if does not worth it.

Thermomix TM5: How can I fix error c208?

Fri, 27 Mar 2026 05:07:22 -0700

My wife closed the device without the bottom lid and after 3 seconds the device shot down, stuck bowl, making clicking noise and code c208 pop up. I dried the device, put it back in place, got out the bowl manually, and put it back into the place. Plugged in, but c208 shows all the time. Official troubleshooting guide says it’s locking mechanism: repair when the error continues to appear.

However there is no further instructions on how to repair it anywhere in the internet. Can someone help me ? Much appreciated.

DeLonghi Dedica EC680: Pump sounds but no water from portal filter

Thu, 26 Mar 2026 15:05:41 -0700

We have a 9-year-old EC680 and suddenly the portal filter is not fed. At 06:00 I took a shot, at 13:00 only the pump sounded but no water appeared at the portal filter. After some seconds the pump turned off, because no water was flowing. No strange LEDs. Sadly I did no further tests.

This night I disassembled the machine until I could slide the inner parts out, powered -> only pump sounds, disconnected the flowmeter, powered -> suction on the pipe! I've opened the flowmeter, it's clean. Reconnected flowmeter, suction. Because there was no longer any fault I assembled the machine, powered -> no water. Then I switched to steam and this worked (unfortunately I didn't try this before disassembling). And afterwards even the portal filter got water.

So ... even in case the EC680 will brew next morning ... what was the fault / which parts should I replace when I get the fault again? I've seen the disassembling video and perhaps that small ball got stuck in the housing? The higher pressure of the steam setting got it loose? Any other idea?

Best regards, Vitus

Tefal Actifry: Heating Element not turning on, fuses appear good (EDIT from NOT good)

Wed, 25 Mar 2026 14:12:35 -0700

I've read the other question about the heating element though it was solved with a fuse replacement rather than a heating element replacement. A preliminary test across two of the visible fuses showed continuity across both although the one with the clear glass tube showed no visible signs of being blown. I couldn't see under the white covering of the larger one.
(EDIT: My bad, fuses with continuity imply good fuses as point out by commenter Jayeff - thank you)

Would suspect heating element as a possibility. More details in my comment on Jayeffs answer below.

Are there any skilled hobbyists who can advise on more in depth troubleshooting?

If I solve my problem I have pledged to making a disassembly guide for the T-fal Actifry but at this point I'm just ready to give up on the repair.
