Miele Worn or Contaminated Membrane Keypad

Microwave keypad buttons are unresponsive or respond only when pressed very hard.

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

Aging membrane contacts, Moisture or cleaning fluid ingress, Cracked keypad overlay, Damaged ribbon cable

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

Dry out moisture: If the panel was recently cleaned, allow it to dry for several hours.
Gentle cleaning: Wipe the keypad with a soft, slightly damp cloth. Do not spray cleaner directly on the panel.
Inspect ribbon cable (advanced): Remove the control panel and check the keypad ribbon for cracks or corrosion. Reseat the connector.
Replace keypad: If keys remain hard to press or unresponsive, replace the membrane keypad or entire control panel assembly.
