How to Fix / Troubleshooting
Safety first: Unplug the microwave before accessing the control panel.
- Step 1 – Power reset: Disconnect from mains for 10 minutes, reconnect, and observe the display.
- Step 2 – Check brightness settings: Some models allow dimming; ensure the brightness is not set to minimum.
- Step 3 – Inspect connections (advanced): Remove the control panel and check the connector between the display and main PCB. Reseat it firmly.
- Step 4 – Board or display replacement: If the display remains dim or segments are missing, replace the display module or entire control board, depending on how the parts are supplied by Indesit.
Tip: A gradually dimming VFD is usually age‑related and requires module replacement.
