When your Electrolux microwave buttons are not working, test every key on the control panel to identify the failure. If some buttons respond while others do not, the touchpad and control panel are the most likely cause, followed by the microwave touchpad itself. If the microwave keypad is completely unresponsive, the user control and display board is the next likely problem, followed by the main control board, control board, and, less commonly, the control panel. This applies to problems such as a microwave start button not working, number buttons not working, or microwave buttons stuck or unresponsive. Before replacing a part, check for damaged connections in the wire harness and confirm the membrane switch is responding as expected. Enter your Electrolux microwave model number to find the exact replacement part for your specific appliance. Any repair that requires opening the outer cabinet must be handled carefully. A microwave’s high-voltage capacitor can store a lethal charge even after the appliance is unplugged and must be properly discharged before interior work begins. If you are not familiar with capacitor discharge procedures, have a qualified technician complete the repair.

The microwave switch holder is the component that houses the door switches behind the control panel. If the switch holder is damaged or misaligned, one of more switches may not be actuated when the microwave door is closed, which may prevent the buttons on the control panel from functioning. You will need to uninstall the control panel and inspect the switch holder to confirm it is in good condition and secured properly. Replace the switch holder with a new one if necessary.
