Possible Causes
Worn membrane keypad, Moisture damage to control panel, Loose ribbon cable, Failed control board keypad interface
How to Fix / Troubleshooting
Safety First: Unplug the microwave.
Steps:
- Test multiple keys: Note which keys fail. If entire rows or columns fail, the membrane is likely bad.
- Dry panel: If the panel was recently cleaned or exposed to steam, allow it to dry for several hours and retry.
- Access panel: Remove the top grille and control panel. Reseat the keypad ribbon cable on the control board.
- Replace panel: If issues persist, replace the Frigidaire control panel / keypad assembly. If still faulty, the main control board may need replacement.
