Check to see if the touch panel is connected to the main board via a ribbon cable. If it is, carefully remove and clean the end that attaches to the circuit board.

microwave ovens are simple radio transmitters , putting out high intensity radio waves in the oven so unless you are a radio tech or fully trained in microwave ovens, it will be cheaper to take it in for a proper diagnosis and quote not what you want to read but generally if the unit will not work, the cheapest fix is a new unit

If your model 665.60652000 (or any other) microwave is dead (no display, no light when you open the door, no beeps when you press pads on the keypad) then I would recommend first checking the outlet. A toaster or hair dryer will give you a good live load test. With a multimeter, ohmmeter, or continuity checker, check the fuse, then the thermal cutouts (aka TCOs or thermostats), and then if those check good, I would suspect the control board, which I can usually repair very affordably. At my site, I have a video that shows you how to remove the grille and controller assembly in about 5 minutes. Then find the technical sheet hidden behind the grille or controller. It's very helpful for locating and testing components. For part ordering information, see http://www.microwavecontrol.com/parts.htm.

The fuse is usually in one of three locations - inside the cabinet where the power cord enters, behind the control panel, or in the power plug. If you need further help, I’m available over the phone at https://www.6ya.com/expert/david_29ad5d1dd86564b0
