Important Diagnostic Note

Unresponsive buttons do not always indicate a faulty touch pad. Similar symptoms may be caused by a damaged ribbon-cable connector, moisture contamination, a faulty electronic control board or a defective door-switch circuit.

Inspect the ribbon cable and control-board connector before replacing the keypad. Avoid touching or contaminating the exposed ribbon contacts during installation.

Important Fitment Note

Confirm the complete microwave model and compare the button layout, printed functions, dimensions, ribbon-cable position and connector contacts with the original touch pad before ordering.

This product is the membrane touch pad only unless the listing specifically states otherwise. The electronic control board, LED display, plastic control-panel frame and mounting hardware are not included.

Critical Safety Warning

Microwave ovens contain high-voltage components that may retain a potentially lethal electrical charge after the appliance has been disconnected. Repairs must be performed only by a suitably qualified and experienced microwave technician.

Never operate the microwave with the outer cabinet removed. After completing the repair, ensure that all shielding, screws and safety interlocks have been correctly reinstalled.
