If your Estate microwave display is not working, first check whether the wall receptacle has power and confirm the microwave is plugged in and the circuit breaker has not tripped. A defective control module is the most likely cause, especially if the microwave screen is blank or dark and none of the buttons respond correctly. If your model does not use a separate display board, a failed touchpad and control panel can cause the same problem. When the microwave display goes out partially or shows missing segments, the display board is more commonly at fault. A completely dead display may be caused by the main control board or display board, while a control board with power but no working digital display may also need replacement. Before ordering, enter your model number to find the exact replacement part for your Estate microwave. Any repair that requires opening the outer cabinet must be handled carefully because the high-voltage capacitor can store a lethal charge even after the microwave is unplugged. It must be properly discharged before interior work, and readers unfamiliar with capacitor discharge procedures should use a qualified technician.

06 - Estate 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.
