Consider using our free service that calls and talks to customer service for you, then sends you a report. Or use our free service that waits on hold and tells you when a human rep is on the line. But if those options don't appeal to you, our team has also documented the phone menu for Panasonic below.
Our AI powered phone can dial, navigate the phone menu, wait on hold, and even talk to customer service for you, for free. You don't even need to learn about the path through the various phone options.
That same, free GetHuman Phone can call and navigate the menus and wait on hold for you, but you can opt to do all the talking. We notify you when a rep is on the line and ready to talk, so no need to worry about changing menu options and weaving your way through the maze.
Of course, we completely understand if you prefer to do all the dialing, waiting, and talking yourself. All of these free tools are optional.

What are the hours and when should I call?
Panasonic operates the call center for this 877-803-8492 phone number 24 hours, 7 days.The short answer is that you should call on a Friday.This observation and the following section are based on analysis of a sample set of 1,083 calls made in the last 90 days using our free, web-based phone (see above).
When you use our free AI-powered phone to call and talk, wait on hold, or navigate for you, it will automatically wait until the Panasonic call center opens before trying to call. It will ask your permission before it places the call, so you can also further delay that scheduled call until you are ready. But that means you can "set it and forget it" ahead of time.
An important note: busy times vs hold times vs best time to call
When we refer to busy or less busy times, we are talking about the volume of calls. The busiest times are when the most people are calling this Panasonic phone number (least busy times have fewer people calling). This high call volume does not necessarily mean that you will have a long hold time when you call. Companies like Panasonic staff their call centers differently based on the time of day and day of the week, so you may experience a shorter wait on hold at the busiest of times. When we refer to the best time to call, we are referring to the optimal combination of lower call volume and shorter wait times.
The least busy time to call
The least busy day to call Panasonic is Sunday.The most busy day to call is Thursday, which averages 183% more phone calls by comparison.Again, this is based on a sample of 1,083 calls made with our AI-powered, web-based phone in the last 90 days.

The shortest wait on hold
We measured the shortest hold times to be on Friday.The longest wait in the queue on average occurs on Wednesday.
In summation, the best day to call Panasonic is Friday.It isn't the least busy day, but the fact that hold times are shortest combined with it being on the busy side tells us that Panasonic staffs up on Friday to handle the higher call volume, and that makes it the best time to call.
If you need help with a Panasonic product, there doesn't seem to be a great way to talk to a live agent. Despite the fact that Panasonic lists ways to talk to a customer agent, along with call center hours, there isn't a clear way to actually reach a person during those open hours. I'm frustrated that I spent a couple of days attempting to talk to someone and had no luck.
I have a Panasonic TV, and the screen seems to get fuzzy for no reason sometimes. It's almost as if the bulbs are starting to die out. I know that newer TVs don't have bulbs, but that's what it looks like. The TV is less than a year old and whatever is going on should be something under the manufacturer's warranty. It's too old to take it back to the retailer, but it's certainly too new to be having this type of issue.
Panasonic makes a lot of products, from TVs to microwaves to video recorder to shavers to other appliances. So, it seems reasonable to expect the company to have a strong customer service department that can answer complaints. Unfortunately, I'm here to tell you it doesn't at all.
First of all, Panasonic's 800-211-7262 phone number is never active. Every time I called I got an automated message saying, "Thank you for calling Panasonic. Our call center is currently closed, but we have an array of self-service options." The bottom line is that I didn't need any of the self-service options; I wanted to talk to someone about my TV. I tried calling several times before I realized the call center seemed never to be open. Sure enough, when I went on the company's website, it listed the call center as having hours from 10 am - 5 pm, so it should have been open. I'm convinced that the company doesn't really have a call center, just the self-service options so Panasonic doesn't have to deal with customers.
On the website, it also says I can chat with someone, and if needed, they will transfer me to a live person. I tried that, but the chat is not actually a real-person chat, either. It's a series of automated responses that didn't help me get connected to a live agent. I kept requesting customer service, and it didn't work at all. I've spent a lot of time calling this line and attempting to use the chat, and I'm no closer to getting any answers about my TV than I was when I first started.

Why Customers Call Panasonic
If you have time to do a bit of reading before you call Panasonic, we recommend you read over some of our problem-specific articles.
The warranty period for Panasonic products varies depending on the type of product. For most consumer electronics such as televisions, audio equipment, cameras, and home appliances, the standard warranty coverage is 1 year from the date of purchase. However, for some high-end or professional-grade products, the warranty period may be extended up to 3 years. It is important to note that certain specific products or components, such as batteries or accessories, may have different warranty terms. To determine the warranty duration for a specific product, customers are advised to refer to the product's user manual or contact Panasonic customer support for further assistance.
Panasonic offers a hassle-free return policy for its products. If you are not satisfied with your purchase, you can return it within 30 days of the purchase date. The product must be in its original condition and packaging, including all accessories and documentation. To initiate a return, you can contact our customer service team or visit any authorized Panasonic retailer. Proof of purchase is required for all returns. Once the return is received and inspected, a refund will be issued to the original method of payment. Please note that shipping and handling charges are non-refundable, and any return shipping costs are the customer's responsibility. If you have any further inquiries or require assistance regarding our return policy, kindly contact our customer service team.
To ensure optimal performance and longevity of your Panasonic products, we recommend several maintenance steps. Firstly, regularly clean the external surface with a soft, dry cloth to remove dust and fingerprints. Avoid using abrasive materials or solvents that may damage the finish. Secondly, check and clean the filters, vents, and air intake areas to prevent dust buildup, which can affect cooling efficiency. Regularly update the firmware of your devices to benefit from the latest features and security enhancements. For battery-operated products, follow the recommended charging instructions and avoid overcharging. Lastly, store and transport your products in a safe and secure manner to prevent any physical damage. Following these simple maintenance steps will ensure maximum performance and extend the lifespan of your Panasonic products.

Information about why customers call Panasonic is extracted from issues that customers have reported to GetHuman.
If phone-based customer service is not available, or the wait times are long, many people prefer chat as a next-best option. Some even prefer it to calling on the phone. Luckily, Panasonic provides this option.
Corresponding with a customer service department by email may not be your first choice, especially if your issue is urgent or time-sensitive. But email is a nearly ubiquitous form of communication, and Panasonic will reply our your email.
As a last, sometimes only, resort- Panasonic customer service can be accessed through their website. This can entail digging through help articles before finding a form and "being allowed" to submit a problem to their team, and rarely leads to a real-time conversation, which is why GetHuman does not recommend this unless it's the only way.
