Ikea Microwave buttons not working

If your Ikea microwave buttons are not working, first test every button on the control panel. If some buttons respond while others do not, the touchpad and control panel are the most likely cause, followed by the touchpad itself. If the microwave keypad is completely unresponsive, the user control and display board is the next likely suspect, followed by the main control board, control board, and control panel. These failures can cause a microwave start button not working, microwave number buttons not working, or all microwave buttons unresponsive. Before replacing a part, check for stuck or damaged buttons and make sure the control panel is clean and dry. Enter your model number to find the exact replacement part for your specific Ikea microwave. Some repairs require removing the outer cabinet. Unplug the microwave first, and remember that the high-voltage capacitor can store a lethal charge even after the microwave is unplugged. It must be properly discharged before any interior work. If you are not familiar with capacitor discharge procedures, have a qualified technician perform the repair.

07 - Ikea 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.
