Montgomery Wards Microwave buttons not working

When your Montgomery Wards microwave buttons are not working, test every button on the control panel to narrow down the problem. If some buttons respond while others are unresponsive, the most likely cause is a defective touchpad and control panel, followed by the touchpad itself. If none of the buttons respond correctly, the user control and display board is the next likely cause. A defective main control board can produce the same symptom, while a failed control panel is less common. These parts may be listed as the membrane switch, keypad, user interface board, or display board, depending on your model. Before ordering, enter your microwave model number to find the exact replacement part for your specific Montgomery Wards microwave. Disconnect power before testing or replacing any component. If the repair requires removing the outer cabinet, remember that the high-voltage capacitor can store a lethal charge even after the microwave is unplugged. The capacitor must be properly discharged before any interior work, and anyone unfamiliar with capacitor discharge procedures should use a qualified technician.
