Question about Sharp R-360E Microwave Oven

1 Answer

Display is extremely dim to where you almost can't read it anymore

I'm not sure what happened but just the other day the display was lit up and could be read. Last night I noticed that it seem too have lost its lustre. You can see it just enough to actually put in the time and hit start. The microwave is still functioning in terms of heating up food just fine, it's the display that seems to have run it's course. Thanks

    I have the same problem. First there was just half of the first column displaying. Now there are no numbers at all. Everything else works fine. I just have to pay close attention when entering time to cook.

    I have the same problem. It was bright and then one day it was dim. I can strain to see the numbers enough if the kitchen lights are on - how do you take it down and clean it like one person posted? It's in the door. The microwave still does fine, but I just put in numbers and then wait for the signal because I can't really see the count-down and programming any more complicated cooking tasks - forget it.

    samething is happening to all of the 60 plus microwaves i ordered from homw depot sharp r 360e 1000 watts all displays are dim and say ld or displays a different type of code, microwaves work but my guest can't function them properly. this is not good for a busy hotel business.

    I am having the same issue as the person in the first post.



    My display is dim, and sections of the multi-unit display are missing. Example being that an 8 looks like a 3.



    As suggested in the thread, I took the advise of the 'answering post' and attempted to fix the issue on my own. I took the door apart, and cleaned / reseated the contacts on the control board.



    Can another control board be purchased somewhere ( I did a quick search on google and ebay to not find a whole lot of nothing :( ).



    The microwave itself works great, though I would love to see the time and what is going on when the microwave is cooking something.





    Thank You,



    Jonathan

The display on our Sharp Microwave oven went very dim. Everything else on it is still functioning perfectly. Will replacing part FPNLCB666WRKZ fix it? Is this something we can safely do ourselves?
not familiar with that exact model .if the display went gradually dim and has a green vacuum florescent display ,these suffer 3 problems ,worn out display ;glass on display and filter window dirty ;and failed capacitors,suggest before replacing module ,unplug and put plug iside door ,then safely remove the back then take photo of display panel wireing then remove it clean inside the plastic eindow of display and display tube glass window .visual look at pcb you will see several round blue capacitors .note the values and voltage of these i.e 470u/25v. go to maplin and obtain replacements ,yhen get a friend who can solder to replace them all making sure to mark pcb with black marker ajacent black negative line on capacitors to ensure correct polarity then refit pannel and test .if no improcement replace complete panell

How to fix display on Clock/timer? It has become too Dim and you can't see it during the day, only at night when it is dark.
The same happened on my oven. The only remedy is to change the display unit. A fairly simple job if the part is available, but best to weigh up the price and cost of repair versus a new oven.

The display is too dim to read. what can I do?
Depends if it was dim when new then not a lot you can do
if it has gone dim , you have 2 options
1 unplug it and put plug in front of oven door,then remove all cabinet screws.locate the display control printed circuit (under display)take photo of wiring with phone to aid reassembly ,unplug and remove printed circuit board screws and board,clean display screen and window ,if was clear then either obtain replacement panel or take panel into radio or electronic repair shop and have them check and replace any poor electrolytic capacitors, this usually cures older ovens ,but if 6 0r 7 years old displays themselves dim and need replacing.ps if good at soldering just note these capacitor values uf and voltage and obtain at maplin and replace all observing polarity when fitting

Sharp Carousel II (R-9H83) loses clock, digital display dims
I think there are some electrolytic capacitors in the power supply to be replaced.Because there are relatively few, it would be good to change them all for more safety

Display window dim
I would open it up and look at the connections to see if any can be replaced. Look for any darkened or burned looking connectors related to the display panel. Hopefully you won't need to replace the display panel circuit board but if you do. I would look for the cheapest replacement starting with ebay parts, and search engines for that specific part. Sometimes there are microwaves of different models with the same parts too!

Siemens HF87950GB /03
If the display is dim and another problem is denoted on the dim display, the problem may be the power supply which may be in common with both items. The power may have surged to a high level before going out which could have damaged the power supply. The only way to know is to probe the power supply with a voltmeter. If the board doesn't show the power levels, usually +5V or +/- 12 V DC, read the values on the electrolytic capacitors on the board. Usually 16 V caps are used on 12 or 5 volt supplies, 32 V caps on 24 V supplies, etc. Be very careful or leave this to a profesional
