Amana Microwave buttons not working

When an Amana microwave buttons are not working, first press every key on the control panel. If some buttons respond while others do not, the touchpad and control panel are the most likely cause, followed by the touchpad itself. This can affect the microwave start button, number buttons, or other keypad functions while the display still works. If none of the microwave buttons respond correctly, the user control and display board is the most likely failure, followed by the main control board, control board, or control panel. A microwave touchpad that is unresponsive, stuck, or only partly functional usually requires replacement of the defective assembly rather than a cleaning or reset. Enter your microwave model number to find the exact replacement part for your specific Amana microwave, including the correct touchpad, membrane switch, control panel, user interface board, or display board. Some repairs require removing the outer cabinet. Unplug the microwave first, and remember that the high-voltage capacitor can store a lethal charge even after power is disconnected. It must be properly discharged before any interior work. If you are not familiar with capacitor discharge procedures, have a qualified technician complete the repair.

The microwave switch holder is the component that houses the door switches behind the control panel. If the switch holder is damaged or misaligned, one of more switches may not be actuated when the microwave door is closed, which may prevent the buttons on the control panel from functioning. You will need to uninstall the control panel and inspect the switch holder to confirm it is in good condition and secured properly. Replace the switch holder with a new one if necessary.
