Danby Microwave display not working

A Danby microwave display not working can result from a failed control module, especially if the control panel buttons are also unresponsive. Press each button to check whether the microwave responds. If your model does not use a separate display board, a defective touchpad and control panel may be responsible for a blank screen or dark display. When the display is partially missing segments, the display board is the more likely failure. If the microwave screen is completely blank, either the display board or main control board could be defective. Also confirm the microwave has power by testing the wall receptacle with another appliance and checking the circuit breaker. A control board that has power but does not operate the digital display may need replacement. Enter your Danby microwave model number to find the exact control module, touchpad, main control board, or display board for your appliance. If diagnosis requires opening the outer cabinet, unplug the microwave first, but remember that the high-voltage capacitor can store a lethal charge even after power is disconnected. The capacitor must be properly discharged before interior work, so use a qualified technician if you are not familiar with capacitor discharge procedures.

01 - Danby 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.

06 - Danby Microwave Control Board

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.
