Useless microwave

I have a Panasonic microwave which I bought to replace an old one which was virtually the same in every way. If I try to reheat a few things like curry 3 minutes, stir, 2 minutes then one for another person, it cuts out and then won't come on for about 20 minutes. I like to make fudge which requires 2 minute cycles with stirring in between so absolutely useless for this. Nowhere in the manual does it say that it does this.

I tried phoning the helpline but just got an idiot who asked me to send photos of where it was situated in my kitchen and couldn't address the problem at all'.

Just wondering if anyone else has had this problem or can recommend a microwave that doesn't do this as this one is getting chucked out soon.

Is it integrated or freestanding?

Did you buy it recently?
Return it to store and get a replacement

It's freestanding and I bought it about 2 years ago online from Currys.

I thought you meant it was new
I'd just buy a new one tbh

My Panasonic combi has a safety cutout of a few seconds if I use the 30second button. To override it, press the stop button then microwave button again then set time, and it starts again no problem.
