Emerson Microwave buttons not working

If your Emerson 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 problem, followed by the touchpad itself. If the microwave keypad is completely unresponsive and none of the buttons work correctly, the user control and display board is a likely cause. The main control board may also be defective, while a failed control panel is less common. These parts can cause a microwave start button not working, microwave number buttons not working, or other microwave buttons stuck or unresponsive. Enter your model number to find the exact Emerson replacement part for your specific microwave. Before removing the outer cabinet, unplug the microwave and use extreme caution. The high-voltage capacitor stores a lethal charge even after the microwave is unplugged and must be properly discharged before any interior work. If you are not familiar with safe capacitor discharge procedures, have a qualified technician perform the repair. Testing the touchpad, control panel, and control boards may require electrical knowledge and careful handling of the wire harness and connectors.
