you could ask her to unplug it overnight and see if things are back to
normal the next day. otherwise buy mom a new microwave. take her old
one for your secondary thanksgiving microwave. or camping; it's great
to have microwave popcorn on a rainy day.

I was visiting my mother at Xmas time and noticed that the numbers on
the digital display of her microwave are unreadable. And it is a
relatively new unit. Is it easily fixable or does it have to be taken
to a repair shop? I don't remember the brand offhand although I could
find out if it helps. Thanks.
