Gibson Microwave buttons not working

When your Gibson microwave buttons are not working, test every key on the control panel. If some buttons respond while others do not, the touchpad and control panel are most likely defective; on some models, the separate touchpad or membrane switch may need replacement. If no buttons respond correctly, the user control and display board is the next likely cause, followed by the main control board, control board, or, less commonly, the control panel. A microwave keypad that is unresponsive can result from worn contacts, a failed user interface, or a control-board fault, so compare the symptom across all keys before ordering parts. Enter your model number on RepairClinic.com to find the exact replacement part for your specific Gibson microwave, including the correct touchpad, control panel, or board. If diagnosis requires opening the outer cabinet, unplug the microwave first, but do not assume it is safe: the high-voltage capacitor stores a lethal charge even after power is disconnected. The capacitor must be properly discharged before any interior work. If you are not familiar with capacitor discharge procedures, have a qualified technician handle the repair.

07 - Gibson 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.
