Midea Display Module / Control Board Backlight Failure

Microwave display is blank or very dim, but the unit may still operate when buttons are pressed.

This repair may involve working with high voltage components or water connections. Always unplug the appliance before removing any panels.

If you are not confident in your ability to perform this repair safely, we strongly recommend contacting a professional technician.

Possible Causes

Failed display (VFD/LED) module, Burned-out backlight, Faulty display driver on control board, Loose display connector

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.
2. Reseat connectors: Remove the control panel and reseat the display connector on the control board.
3. Replace display or board: Depending on design, replace the display module or the entire control board with the correct Midea part.
