Candy Display Backlight or Connection Issue

Microwave display is on but very dim or flickers; sometimes brightens when tapping the panel.

This repair may involve working with high voltage components or water connections. Always unplug the appliance before removing any panels.

If you are not confident in your ability to perform this repair safely, we strongly recommend contacting a professional technician.

Possible Causes

Aging display backlight, Loose display connector, Cracked solder joints on display board, Failing low-voltage regulator

Safety first: Unplug the microwave.

Simple checks:

Gently press around the display bezel; if brightness changes, there may be a loose connection.

Internal inspection (experienced users):

Remove the outer cover and front trim.
Reseat the display connector on the control board.
Inspect the display PCB for cracked solder joints, especially at the connector and backlight driver.

Repair: If reseating does not help, the display module or control board may need replacement by a technician.
