Possible Causes
Aging LED/VFD display, failing display driver on control board, loose display connector, power supply issue to display
How to Fix / Troubleshooting
Safety: Unplug the microwave before internal inspection.
Checks:
- If the display is only slightly dim, this may be normal aging and not affect operation.
- Remove the control panel and check the display connector for looseness or corrosion; reseat if necessary.
If segments are missing or the display flickers regardless of connections, the display or control board must be replaced. This is a moderate repair and may be best handled by a technician.
