Admiral Microwave display not working

An Admiral microwave display is not working, first check that the power cord is plugged in and the wall receptacle has power by testing it with another small appliance. If the outlet works but the microwave screen is blank, clock display is dark, or display segments are missing, press each control panel button. If the microwave buttons are also unresponsive, the control module is the most likely cause, followed by the touchpad and control panel on models without a separate display board. A partially working display more commonly indicates a defective display board. If the display is completely out, the main control board or display board may be at fault. A control board that has power but does not operate the digital display may also need replacement. Enter your Admiral microwave model number to find the exact replacement part for your appliance. Any repair that requires removing the outer cabinet must be handled carefully because the high-voltage capacitor can store a lethal charge even after the microwave is unplugged. Proper capacitor discharge is required before interior work, and a qualified technician should perform the repair if you are not familiar with that procedure.

01 - Admiral Microwave Control Module

A malfunctioning display could be caused by a defective control module. Try pressing each of the buttons on the control panel. If none of the buttons are responding correctly, it is likely the control module is defective and will need to be replaced.

05 - Incoming Power Problem

Confirm the microwave is plugged in and there is power at the wall receptacle. You can plug another small appliance into the receptacle to confirm there is power. If there is no power, confirm the circuit breaker has not tripped.

Since the control board is a part of the digital display, a defective board could be responsible for a microwave display not working, if the control board has power to it but the display is not working replace the control board.
