Control panel on a whirlpool microwave

Usually one presses the control panel Off/Reset button, presses the clock button, enters the time (eg. 710 for 7:10) and presses the clock button again.

follow this steps and fix it. God bless you

Touchpad and Control Panel


If the microwave buttons don't work the touchpad and control panel assembly are probably defective.
Touchpad


If the microwave buttons don't work the touchpad might be at fault. Generally speaking, if the dishwasher display is working and some of the buttons respond correctly but some don't, the problem is with the touchpad.
User Control and Display Board


If the microwave buttons don't work the user control and display board are most likely defective and will need to be replaced. If some of the buttons work and some don't, it is more likely a touch pad problem and the touch pad will need to be replaced.
Main Control Board


If the microwave buttons don't work the main control board is most likely defective and will need to be replaced. If some of the buttons work the touch pad is likely the problem. If none of the buttons work the problem may be in the main control board.

Switch off the microwave by unplugging and keeping aside for several hours.
Reconnect and see if the clock had reset, if so set the time on the panel with the touch pad.
If there is no result then try to
Press and hold menu/stop for sometime to release.
Hope this works .

Not good, a new Touch Pad will cost as much as a new microwave oven.

you should change the touch panel and or the control module.check to make sure the power supplied is correct and all connections to the board are all secure.

try opening up the control panel,disconnect the connector ribbon coming from control panel and connected 2 control board by just pulling it out and cleaning end of connector ribbon and iserting it back.some times this works.if not then 4 sure touch panel needs to be replaced.

determined from whirlpool that the f2 display is from the control circuit board. the board's problem is intermittent and needs eventually replacing. not covered by warranty. determined that whirlpool has reduced the warranty for the electronic circuits in its appliances from 5 to 1 year. this is great for consumer confidence in whirlpool. have had trouble with 2 other new whirlpool appliances. probably will not buy another whirlpool appliance.

It may be a glitch that can be corrected by a hard reset. Unplug it from the power line for a minute, plug it back in, set the clock, then try again.

It may have gotten moisture, contamination, or grease inside, which can happen if one cooks on the stove top without having the microwave's hood vent fan on.

It may simply need repair.

The Keypad is a Circuit.Each of the Function Buttons is a switch. The same "Touch" Techinology as is used of your TV Remote Control Pad or your Telephone. It would appear that your Keypad Circuit is Open, not allowing touch commands to reach the Control Board.The Keypad will have to be replaced. Best done by a Professional. I have seen "Rare" cases of a defective Door Switch causing such symptoms.

check the touch pad , and check the control panel...
