Modern Maid Microwave buttons not working

If your Modern Maid microwave buttons are not working, first check whether some buttons respond while others do not. When only certain keys fail, 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 problem, followed by the main control board. A defective control panel is less common but can also cause a microwave start button not working, number buttons not working, or all microwave buttons to stop responding. Test each key carefully before ordering parts, and enter your model number to find the exact replacement part for your specific microwave. Replacing a touchpad, control panel, or electronic 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 the microwave is unplugged. The capacitor must be properly discharged before any interior work, so this repair may require a qualified technician if you are not familiar with safe capacitor discharge procedures.

07 - Modern Maid 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.
