If the microwave control panel doesn't light up, then your fuse is blown. unplug the microwave. unscrew the vent grill, (2) screws at the top of the microwave. then you should see 1 screw holding the control panel. after removing that screw, gently push up then out. there should be a metal plate on top of the control panel. remove that plate and the fuse will be in that opening. remove the fuse and check for continuity across the fuse. Replace fuse and plug microwave back in. control panel should light up.

not a fuse problem itsounds like its the ic controlon the front panel crt board

Could be the fuse inside the microwave is blown. You will need to unplug the microwave and remove the front control panel. Inisde the microwave housing you will need to trace the electrical wire coming into the unit. Usually you will find the in-line fuse located on the black power wire. You can pull the connectors off the fuse and test it with a continuity tester. If the fuse is blown replace it but make sure you use the same amp rated fuse as you removed. If the fuse blows again then there is an electrical short somewhere in the microwave.

unplug first, take three screws out of top vent cover and there may even be some on the top cabinet holding vent cover on front, then you might see fuse holder just behind vent cover, if not remove screw(s) holding touch pad on, then slide touch panel up and out. it will rest on hinge, then you should see fuse holder inside behind touch panel. BE SURE TO UNPLUG FIRST AS ELECTRICITY CAL KILL YOU.

Sounds like you've had a failure in the microwave portion of the unit.

Microwave not heating problems when the timer/controller board appears to function properly, are related to the following components -
