Maytag Microwage display screen is foggy

The display screen on my Maytag built-in microwage oven (showing time of day/ counting down the cook time) is foggy. Is there anything that I can do?

I think that someone cleaning it may have sprayed directly onto the screen and caused it to fog but I am not sure if that is what is wrong. All I know is that it looks foggy and is driving me crazy.

At our Web site, we have a video available showing how to remove a typical over the range control panel assembly in under 5 minutes.

Then you can detach the keypad connector (as per attached photo) then remove the control panel screws.

Be careful not to crack the glass display when handling it, or it's a goner.

Then you can use a soft cloth (not a paper towel) and a mild cleaner (not ammonia-based) to clean the front surface of the VFD display glass and the rear side of the clear bezel (display window) that's attached to the keypad.

Direct spraying of cleaners on the keypad and steam from the cooktop can damage the controls.

I always recommend that you spray non-ammonia cleaner on a soft cloth (not a paper towel which can scratch) and gently wipe the keypad.

We're happy to help you with free advice and we'd appreciate your thoughtful rating of our answer.

Sharp Carousel R530BK microwave won't cook unless light pressure is kept on the door button.

There are door switches and one of them is evidently out of adjustment or the little actuator arm on it is.

The motor will not work. The interior light comes on, but the turntable does not go around. The cook time counts down, but no cooking occurs.

the turn table motor could have failed, but the counting down will be the monitor switch or a micro switch located behind control panel

Our microwave is not heating and the turntable is also not working. When I try to cook something the timer starts counting down but nothing else happens.

Microwave doesn't work

Sounds like you have a faulty control panel. I would use a meter and test the power from the control board to the magnetron and circuit board. Chances are the control panel is faulty

Sounds like it's running but no heat

Those symptoms are what I would expect when the controller or keypad gets wet. Tipping it is not an issue, unless that allowed the water to run into the controls more than just the wet soapy washcloth did. You may get lucky - it may dry out by itself in a few days. If not, and if careful targeting drying doesn't fix it, it will need a new keypad or controller.
