How to Fix / Troubleshooting
Safety first: Unplug the microwave before removing the control panel.
- 1. Power reset: Unplug for 5 minutes, then reconnect and observe the display. Temporary glitches may clear.
- 2. Check for moisture: If the issue started after heavy steam use, allow the unit to dry with the door open for several hours.
- 3. Internal inspection (advanced): Remove the control panel and check the ribbon cable between the display and main PCB. Reseat connectors and inspect for corrosion.
- 4. Replace display or PCB: If segments are permanently missing or the display remains dim, the display module or control PCB will need replacement with Russell Hobbs-compatible parts.
