Have tried several factory resets, hard power cycles. Updated firmware a few days ago, listened to radio all day yesterday, today it does not work. Figure tuner module is toast but cannot find part number for what needs to be replaced even after downloading service manual, there is no part labeled "tuner module"
P/n for the tuner is: 943183100200S. It is soldered in, so if you don't know how to solder, then you would need to take it in.
There is no module per se. Tuning is accomplished by applying a voltage to the tuner chip and their associated circuits. It needs to be repaired by a Denon service center.

Chapter 6:
Using the tuner
Listening to the radio
The following steps show you how to tune in to FM and
AM radio broadcasts using the automatic (search) and
manual (step) tuning functions. If you already know the
frequency of the station you want, see Tuning directly to a
station below. Once you are tuned to a station you can
memorize the frequency for recall later-see Saving
station presets below for more on how to do this.
1 Press the FM/AM button to select the tuner.
2 Use the FM/AM button to change the band (FM or
AM), if necessary.
Each press switches the band between FM and AM.
3 Tune to a station.
There are three ways to do this:
Automatic tuning
To search for stations in the currently selected band,
press and hold TUNE ?©/?? for about a second. The
receiver will start searching for the next station,
stopping when it has found one. Repeat to search for
other stations.
Manual tuning
To change the frequency one step at a time, press
TUNE ?©/??.
High speed tuning
Press and hold TUNE ?©/?? for high speed tuning.
Release the button at the frequency you want.
Improving FM stereo sound
If the TUNED or STEREO indicators don't light when
tuning to an FM station because the signal is weak, press
the MPX button to switch the receiver into mono
reception mode. This should improve the sound quality
and allow you to enjoy the broadcast.
Using Neural THX
This feature uses Neural Surround™, THX® technology to
achieve optimal surround sound from FM radio.
• While listening to FM radio, press AUTO/DIRECT for
Neural THX listening.

Great, looks like that part is available although not quickly, soldering is not a problem, based on description of issue is that the likely culprit? thanks!
I think that's the best place to try first
