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.
