Possible Causes

Worn conductive traces in membrane, Moisture ingress into keypad, Damaged keypad ribbon cable, Cracked control panel overlay

How to Fix / Troubleshooting

Safety: Unplug the microwave before working on the control panel.

Steps:

  • 1. Test multiple keys: Note which keys fail. If failures are in groups, the membrane is likely worn.
  • 2. Dry the keypad: If the issue started after cleaning, allow the keypad area to dry for several hours.
  • 3. Reseat ribbon cable: Remove the control panel and reseat the keypad ribbon cable on the control board.
  • 4. Replace membrane keypad: Peel off the old keypad (if separate), clean the surface, and install a new Galanz-compatible membrane keypad or full control panel assembly.
