How to Fix / Troubleshooting
Safety first: Unplug the microwave before accessing the control panel.
Step-by-step checks:
- 1. Check brightness settings: Some Paderno models allow dimming. Verify the display brightness is not set to minimum.
- 2. Access display module: Remove the control panel and locate the display (VFD or LED board) attached to the main control board.
- 3. Reseat connectors: Carefully unplug and replug the display ribbon cable or connector.
- 4. Inspect for damage: Look for cracked solder joints on the display pins or burn marks on the board.
- 5. Replace display or board: If reseating does not help and the issue persists, replace the display module or the entire control board, depending on how Paderno supplies the part.
