Roper Microwave buttons not working

If your Roper microwave buttons are not working, press each button to see whether only certain keys are unresponsive or the entire keypad fails. When some buttons respond and others do not, the touchpad and control panel are the most likely cause, followed by the touchpad itself. If the microwave touchpad is not working and none of the buttons respond correctly, the user control and display board is the next likely problem. A defective main control board can also leave the microwave keypad unresponsive, while a failed control panel is less common. These checks apply whether the microwave start button is not working, the number buttons are unresponsive, or multiple microwave control panel buttons are stuck. Enter your Roper microwave model number to find the exact replacement part for your specific appliance. Parts such as the membrane switch, touchpad, control panel, user interface board, and main control board may require opening the outer cabinet. Unplug the microwave first, and remember that the high-voltage capacitor can store a lethal charge even after power is disconnected. It must be properly discharged before interior work, so use a qualified technician if you are not familiar with capacitor discharge procedures.

06 - Roper Microwave Switch Holder

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.
