If your Frigidaire microwave display is not working, first press every button on the control panel. If the microwave buttons are also unresponsive or behave incorrectly, a defective control module is the most likely cause. On models without a separate display board, the touchpad and control panel may be faulty instead. A partially blank microwave screen or missing display segments more commonly points to a failed display board, while a completely dark display can be caused by the display board or main control board. Also verify that the microwave has incoming power by testing the wall receptacle and checking the circuit breaker. If the control board has power but the digital display remains blank, the control board may need replacement. Enter your Frigidaire microwave model number to find the exact replacement control module, touchpad, main control board, or display board for your appliance. 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. Proper capacitor discharge is required before interior work, and this repair may require a qualified technician if you are not familiar with capacitor discharge procedures.

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.

06 - Frigidaire 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.
