Hotpoint Microwave buttons not working

When a Hotpoint microwave buttons are not working, test every button on the control panel to narrow down the failure. If some buttons respond while others do not, the touchpad and control panel are the most likely cause, followed by the touchpad itself. If the microwave buttons are all unresponsive, the user control and display board is the top suspect, with the main control board and control board also possible. A defective control panel is less common but can prevent the keypad, number buttons, or start button from working. Before replacing a part, check for stuck or damaged buttons and confirm the microwave has power. Enter your model number to find the exact replacement touchpad, control panel, user interface board, or control board for your specific Hotpoint microwave. Repairs that require opening the outer cabinet must be handled carefully because 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 this repair may require a qualified technician if you are not familiar with safe capacitor discharge procedures.
