Possible Causes
Failed display module, Weak or failed low-voltage power supply on EOC, Loose ribbon cable to display, Blown control fuse (if equipped)
How to Fix / Troubleshooting
Safety first: Turn off power at the breaker before removing the control panel.
- Check for backlight: In a dark room, see if any faint glow or characters are visible. This can help identify a failing display.
- Inspect connections: Remove the control panel and reseat the ribbon cable between the display and EOC.
- Check for control fuse: Some Magic Chef models have a small fuse on the control board. Test and replace if blown, but investigate the cause of the overload.
- Replace display or EOC: If the oven functions but the display is dead, replace the display module. If both control and display are dead, replace the electronic oven control.
When to call a technician: Board-level diagnosis and soldering should be left to professionals.
