Admiral Microwave buttons not working

When an Admiral microwave buttons are not working, test every key on the control panel to narrow down the cause. When some buttons respond but others do not, the touchpad and control panel are the most likely failure points, followed by the touchpad itself. If the microwave keypad is completely unresponsive, the user control and display board is the next likely cause, followed by the main control board, control board, or, less commonly, the control panel. These parts can cause a microwave start button not working, number buttons not working, or an entire microwave touchpad not working. Enter your model number to find the exact replacement part for your Admiral microwave, since touchpads, membrane switches, control panels, and electronic boards vary by model. Before replacing any part that requires opening the outer cabinet, unplug the microwave and understand that the high-voltage capacitor can store a lethal charge even after power is disconnected. The capacitor must be properly discharged before interior work begins. If you are not familiar with safe capacitor discharge procedures, have a qualified technician perform the repair.
