Well there are 3 pads or keys across the top, express defrost, clock
and minuit plus and they quit working. every so often they will work,
seems more like maybe after I have been running the oven.
It still works and heats up is I set the time manually and hit start,
but the minuit plus
defrost and clock across the top will not work.
Is there an easy way to open this thing up and look at it?
Thanks, Tony


Disconnect any cables and plugs associated with the front panel and
clean with contact cleaner. If this doesnt fix it get a new microwave.
You may be able to replace the whole panel but last I checked they
were about $100 USD.

OK Thanks, Do you know if I have to take the whole cover off to get to
the front panel?
Thanks, Tony
