on today's video we're going to be
working on a microwave now the issue
that we're having specifically with this
microwave is we do have power coming
into the panel but when you try to use
any of the features or functions the
panel doesn't respond now the issue is
going to be if you look here on the back
this little ribbon cable whether it's
due to just constant use of the door
opening and slamming shut or even this
happened on newer microwaves just during
the shipping and packaging process for
some reason the cable came out will just
pull out or even this will detach and
that will cause issues as far as your
microwave not responding at the panel
first thing we're going to do is we're
going to turn the microwave off you
don't want power when you're working on
this panel by Dan unplug it remove the
two screws that secure the that top to
the microwave you'll have one on each
side once you do that go ahead and
remove the vent cover that'll just pull
right out remove the panel you're going
to have to open your microwave door now
we're going to remove the screw that
secures the panel to the microwave
remove the panel there's going to be
four clips two on each side and
basically you can see here it has a
little groove so what you're going to do
is we're going to pull up and toward you
don't be too abrasive because there are
wires that attach to the panel so you
want to be careful while you're doing
that so here we're going to push up from
the bottom and then you're going to
slowly pull towards yourself now be
careful because there are wires back
here you can see here when I remove the
panel that the ribbon cable did come
loose
you can see here this is the base where
the river cable ties into the groove go
ahead and pull that out once you pull it
out go ahead and reattach your ribbon
cable into the slot now be you know firm
and gentle at the same time you just
want to make sure it goes inside now
once you have it inside as you're
holding it you're going to push down on
the slot and that's going to risa cure
the ribbon cable once you push the base
back down that will risa cure the ribbon
cable again like I said be careful you
do have a lot of other electrical
electrical components around so just be
very careful when you're doing that go
ahead and reassemble your microwave for
this portion we're just going to put the
panel back in and then I'm gonna plug it
in and then we're going to test it to
see if the panel does start operating
properly at the time
