Ikea Microwave display not working

If your IKEA microwave display is not working, start by pressing every button on the control panel. When the microwave screen is blank, dark, or the microwave clock display is not working and none of the buttons respond correctly, the control module is the most likely cause and may need replacement. On models without a separate display board, a defective touchpad and control panel can cause the same symptom. If the display is partially missing segments, the display board is more commonly defective. If the display is completely out, the main control board or display board could be at fault. Also confirm the microwave is plugged in and the wall receptacle has power, then check whether the circuit breaker has tripped. A control board with power but no display may need replacement. Enter your IKEA microwave model number to find the exact control module, touchpad, main control board, or display board for your appliance. Any repair that requires removing 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, so use a qualified technician if you are unfamiliar with the procedure.

05 - Incoming Power Problem

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.

07 - Power reset

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.
