If you can program the time but it
will not start cooking when you press the "Start" pad, you probably
have a bad door switch or door switch mount.
If the oven has no display and will not respond, it is "dead" ands it
may have a blown fuse or a blown magnetron thermal cutout (TCO) or
thermostat or a blown oven cavity TCO or thermostat.

There
should be a "mini-manual" (tech sheet) hidden inside the unit
behind the
control panel or hidden on the left side behind the grille, which is
very helpful when troubleshooting, testing, and locating components.
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.
Accessing
some components (especially an oven cavity TCO / thermostat) for
testing and possible replacement will require you to remove the oven
from the wall.
If
so, the installation instructions are very handy, and it's best to have
two people since the microwave can be heavy and awkward.
