If your Maytag microwave buttons are not working, press every key on the control panel to determine whether the problem affects some buttons or all of them. When some buttons respond but others do not, the touchpad and control panel are the most likely causes, followed by the touchpad itself. If the microwave keypad is completely unresponsive, the user control and display board is the next likely culprit. A defective main control board can also prevent the microwave start button, number buttons, and other controls from responding. The control panel is a less common cause when none of the buttons work. These checks apply whether your Maytag microwave has power but is not working or the microwave buttons are stuck or unresponsive. Enter your model number to find the exact replacement part for your specific microwave. Any repair that requires opening the outer cabinet must be performed carefully because the high-voltage capacitor can store a lethal charge even after the microwave is unplugged. The capacitor must be properly discharged before interior work begins, so contact a qualified technician if you are not familiar with safe capacitor discharge procedures.
