Unplug microwave, remove top, "several screws" you will see the control board mounted behind keypad, you should see insert screws where the top of the microwave was, there may be one or more so take your time. If you end up disconnecting wires make sure you know where they go, gently remove frame and leave the microwave door open so no latches get broken.

The display is too dim to read. what can I do?

Depends if it was dim when new then not a lot you can do
if it has gone dim , you have 2 options
1 unplug it and put plug in front of oven door,then remove all cabinet screws.locate the display control printed circuit (under display)take photo of wiring with phone to aid reassembly ,unplug and remove printed circuit board screws and board,clean display screen and window ,if was clear then either obtain replacement panel or take panel into radio or electronic repair shop and have them check and replace any poor electrolytic capacitors, this usually cures older ovens ,but if 6 0r 7 years old displays themselves dim and need replacing.ps if good at soldering just note these capacitor values uf and voltage and obtain at maplin and replace all observing polarity when fitting

Setting display goes on se mode and will not function un less you un plug and reconect

The SE error code is pretty well documented on many forums. It usually occurs because the edge connector on the ribbon cable that connects the display to the circuit board has oxidized from steam that enters the cabinet between the display houseing and the cabinet itself. It will cost you a minimum of $100 to have a technician service it. Or you can do what he will do and take it apart and clean the connector then reassmble it. Unplug it before doing anything. 2 screws across the top of the vent panel need to compe out, then open the door and slide the vent panel about 1/2" and remove it. Remove the center and right screws on the bottom of the cabinet, below the door. Remove the single visible screw at the top of the display panel housing and slide it up and remove it. Carefully remove the edge connector of the ribbon cable and clean it with rubbing alcohol on a q-tip. Reassemble in reverse order of the above instructions. You can usually get 2-3 cleanings to work ok before that fix doesn't work and you have to replace the circuit board. When that happens, it's the same steps to get to the board, but you then need to remove all of the wiring connectors (pay attention to the color coding and the type of connector for reassembly), and take the whole display/board unit out. Remove the screws that hold the board in place and carefully lift the board out. Replace and reattach wires then reassemble. All it takes is a #2 Philips head screwdriver to do this job.

Nn2555 display weak

In many cases , cockroaches are found to habit within specially when not used and can spoil the main board, panel display and connectors. Remove the front panel and board and confirm and if so you need to wash the board and reset. Also it can be due to failure of the display or drive from the board

Digital display of Bauknecht MCG 1731 micro-wave isn't readable in daylight.

If the microwave is workingg fine otherwise , then you can remove the display panel and see if there is dirt or insects that have clogged the display. Use a hair dryer to slighly warm the panel , check the voltage to the display panel from the main board and processor. If there is no issues here then it is possible that the display is weak and needs a replacement

The brightness of the display panel on the GE XL1800 is so dull I cannot even read it. How do you increase brightness?

There are two main causes for this:

- Dust & other particle buildup on the front of the display gass and the rear of the display window. This can be cleaned.

- Your vacuum display tube is wearing out and the control circuti board must be replaced.

Cleaning the display is easy, but you need to be careful so you don't break the glass.

First you would unplug the microwave or turn off its breaker.

Then see the video here that shows you how to remove your control panel assembly in less than 5 minutes.

Next, disconnect the keypad strip as shown in the photo below, then remove the screws that hold your circuit board in the plastic frame.

Then carefully (since the display is made of glass) remove your circuit board.

Using a soft cloth (since paper towels can scratch) lightly dampened with non-ammonia cleaner (since ammonia can damage some polycarbonate plastics), gently wipe off the front of the glass.

Then gently wipe off the back side of the plastic display window in the plastic control panel frame.

Reassemble, reinstall, and power it up, and it should be brighter, sometimes a whole lot brighter!

If that does not brighten it up enough, then you will need to replace the entire circuit board, since the display tube on this brand is not available as a separate part.

You can use the disassembly instructions above, and the board can be ordered by entering the full model number from the tag in or on your unit here.

For those with other brands, or whose model does not show up there, see this page for tips to finding helpful exploded views and ordering appliance parts and accessories.
