Gaggenau Microwave buttons not working

When a Gaggenau microwave buttons are not working, test every button on the control panel to narrow down the cause. When some buttons respond but others do not, the touchpad and control panel are the most likely problem, followed by the touchpad itself. If the microwave keypad is completely unresponsive, the user control and display board is the next likely cause, followed by the main control board, control board, or control panel. These failures can make the microwave start button, number buttons, or other microwave buttons stop responding even though the appliance has power. Enter your model number to find the exact replacement part for your specific Gaggenau microwave, including the correct touchpad, membrane switch, control panel, or user interface board. Before replacing any part that requires opening the outer cabinet, unplug the microwave and use extreme caution. A high-voltage capacitor can store a lethal charge even after the microwave is unplugged and must be properly discharged before interior work begins. If you are not familiar with capacitor discharge procedures, have a qualified technician perform the repair.

06 - Gaggenau 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.
