Possible Causes

Worn membrane keypad, Moisture behind control panel, Loose keypad ribbon cable, Failed control board keypad interface

How to Fix / Troubleshooting

Safety first: Unplug the microwave before accessing the control panel.

Step-by-step checks:

  • 1. Test all keys: Note which keys work and which do not. If only certain areas fail, the membrane is likely worn.
  • 2. Dry out moisture: If the panel was exposed to steam or spills, allow it to dry thoroughly.
  • 3. Reseat ribbon cable: Remove the control panel and reseat the keypad ribbon cable on the control board.
  • 4. Replace keypad: If issues persist, replace the membrane keypad or entire control panel assembly with an OEM Midea part.
