If your Universal range display is not working, the oven control board is the most likely cause, especially when the range has power but the display is completely dead. An oven display not working, missing digits, or appearing dim can also point to a failed display board. When only part of the display is visible, the LED board may be defective. If the display board is not receiving power, the main control board may have failed because it supplies power to the display. Before replacing a board, check that the range is plugged in securely and that the outlet has power. A gas range should show power through the oven light or burner sparks, while an electric range should turn on its surface elements. Check for a tripped circuit breaker or blown fuse. If the range has power but the control panel will not respond, child lock or Sabbath mode may be enabled. These range display board problems require testing and, in many cases, replacement of the oven control board, display board, LED board, or main control board. Enter your Universal range model number to find the exact replacement part for your specific appliance.

If the display board is dead it may not be getting power from the main control board. If there is power to the display board but the display is dead, missing digits or dim, it will need to be replaced.
The range's LED board will usually display the time, temperature, and settings for the range. If the display only partially shows digits or is dim, it's likely the LED board is faulty and should be replaced (if the whole display is not working, a defective control board is more likely the cause of the problem).
04 - Universal Range/Stove/Oven Main Control Board
The main control board sends power to the display board to operate. If the display board is not receiving power, the main control board is likely bad and will need to be replaced.
Ensure plug is tightly pushed into electrical outlet and outlet is supplying power. If the display board is not working, there could be an incoming power problem. A gas range has power if the oven light comes on and the burner sparks; an electric range has power if the surface elements turn on. If the range does not have power, check for a tripped circuit breaker or blown fuses and correct as needed.

06 - Range in lock mode
Many ranges have a child lock or "Sabbath" feature which will prevent the buttons from being used when the feature is engaged. Consult the range's user manual for information regarding locking/unlocking the control panel.

07 - Power reset
After a power surge or power outage, range operation could be temporarily affected. Full operation can sometimes be restored through a power reset by turning the power to the appliance off for a few minutes and then back on.
