I have a Goldstar MV1526W Microwave Oven. We recently had a power outage and the oven displays ####### on the LED but the control panel is non-responsive. I've tried unplugging and waiting and plugging it back in. I've tried hitting varius buttons on the touch panel - nothing. I am renting and don't have any manual for this unit. Can anyone help???

We had an extended power outage today and when the power came back on the micro drawers lights didn't even come on. We have done everything in the manual from checking breakers resetting the GFI plug. This machine is hard wired in so there is no plug and unplug procedure we can do. No power or lights come on on the panel. Any more suggestion?We had an extended power outage today and when the power came back on the micro drawers lights didn't even come on.

Re:
If its part of the house your renting, call the landlord as its most likly a control panel went bad, and in this unit, thats probably going to exceed the cost of the microwave oven. If its a rental oven, take it back.

Unplug for 60 seconds to see if it will reset, if no! the fuse in the microwave has opened/ or if the model is the new type, it is the keypad control board or smart board.
First, try unplugging the microwave for 2 to 5 minutes and then plugging it back in. Sometimes, a very brief power outage will be sensed by the control as an internal error and the control will lock itself out.
If it continues to blink and does not respond to key presses after this "hard reset", it is likely a portion of the control board could have been damaged from the power outage.
FYI ... the touch panel for this model is no longer available. I mention that because no response from any key press can also denote a shorted key pad.
No! there is no reset, the power surge has more than likely damaged the keypad controller, and on the back is a circuit board that has the microprocessor with additional components that controls the vital areas of the microwave oven. If that is gone, it is cheaper to replace than to repair.
Is the outlet ok? Can you plug somethng else into the outlet to see if the fuse or breaker controlling the outlet is ok? If there is power at the outlet, unplug the unit and remove the outside cover.
Look for a blown fuse on the motherboard. Replace it with the EXACT value of the original fuse. You can purchase a new fuse at Radio Shack or hardware store or auto parts store. Try powering up the unit again and see if it works now or whether the fuse blows again. If it blows again, the power supply may have been damaged. Was this a power outage or surge? Was anything else in your home affected?
Yes, the display should always be on when plugged in.
Check the internal fuse. Unplug it, unscrew and take off the cover, the
fuse should be easily found in the back by the power cord. It looks
like a regular fuse but is white instead of clear glass because
microwave fuses are special. You'll have to measure it with a meter as
a result and be sure to replace it with the same kind. (try finding
them at radio shack) Hopefully there isn't something more serious also.
Hope ya fix it!
