How to Fix / Troubleshooting
Safety first: Unplug the microwave before removing the control panel.
Step-by-step checks:
- 1. Check for faint display: In a dark room, look closely to see if the display is faintly visible. This suggests a backlight or VFD filament issue.

- 3. Replace display or board: Depending on design, replace the display module or the entire control board with the correct Midea part.
