If your Electrolux microwave display is not working, first press each control panel button. If the buttons are unresponsive or respond incorrectly, the control module is the most likely cause and may need replacement. On models without a separate display board, a failed touchpad and control panel can cause the microwave screen not working. If only some digits or segments are missing, the display board is more commonly defective. A display that is completely blank may be caused by the main control board or display board, while a control board with power but no display may need replacement. Also confirm the microwave is plugged in, test the wall receptacle with another small appliance, and check the circuit breaker for an incoming power problem. Depending on the Electrolux model, the control module, membrane switch, user interface board, digital display, VFD display, main control board, or display board may be a separate part. Enter your model number to find the exact replacement part for your specific microwave. If the repair requires opening the outer cabinet, unplug the microwave first and use proper safety procedures. The high-voltage capacitor can store a lethal charge even after unplugging and must be properly discharged before interior work. If you are not familiar with capacitor discharge, use a qualified technician.

Confirm the microwave is plugged in and there is power at the wall receptacle. You can plug another small appliance into the receptacle to confirm there is power. If there is no power, confirm the circuit breaker has not tripped.
Highly Likely
06 - Electrolux Microwave Control Board
Since the control board is a part of the digital display, a defective board could be responsible for a microwave display not working, if the control board has power to it but the display is not working replace the control board.
A microwave display not working may be due to a power outage or power surge. Full operation can sometimes be restored through a power reset by either unplugging the unit's power cord for a few minutes and then plugging it back in or switching off the circuit breaker for the microwave then switching it back on.
