How to Fix / Troubleshooting

Safety: Unplug the microwave before moving or inspecting it.

User-level steps:

  • 1. Check from different angles: Some displays appear dim at certain viewing angles; verify if the issue is consistent.
  • 2. Power reset: Unplug for 5–10 minutes, then plug back in and observe the display.
  • 3. Stable power: Plug directly into a wall outlet to ensure proper voltage.

If the display remains dim or segments are missing, the display module or main control board will likely need replacement by a technician.
