Amana Microwave display not working

When your Amana microwave display is not working, first check whether the microwave has power at the wall receptacle and whether the circuit breaker has tripped. If the microwave has power but the screen is blank, dark, or the buttons are unresponsive, a defective control module is the most likely cause. Press each control panel button to test it. If none respond correctly, replace the control module. On models without a separate display board, a failed touchpad and control panel can cause the display problem. If only some digits or segments are missing, the display board is more commonly defective. A display that is completely out may be caused by the main control board or display board, while a control board with power but no display may also need replacement. These repairs can involve the control module, membrane switch, user interface board, main control board, or digital display. Enter your Amana microwave model number to find the exact replacement part for your specific appliance. Any repair requiring removal of the outer cabinet must be performed carefully because the high-voltage capacitor can store a lethal charge even after the microwave is unplugged. It must be properly discharged before interior work, so use a qualified technician if you are not familiar with capacitor discharge procedures.

07 - Power reset

A microwave display not working may be due to a power outage or power surge. Full operation can sometimes be restored through a power reset by either unplugging the unit's power cord for a few minutes and then plugging it back in or switching off the circuit breaker for the microwave then switching it back on.
