Sir , You just helped a 75 year old man fix my ge microwave. Your instructions were easy to follow and given clearly. Your safety tips gave me the confidence to give it a try. And it was all right on.. Didn't have to look at any thing else.. My wife of 51 years was very happy. Now she won"t have to go back to her wood stove;; Thank You

Our daughter waited for 6 months for Daddy to come to Florida from Philadelphia. Microwave fixed. Thanks for the great video!

Excellent video, thanks for it, and double thanks for avoid wasting time narrating the history of the oven, and go straight to the point, I appreciate it a lot.

Dude you rock. You saved my microwave oven from the landfill and the cost of a new one. Thanks.

Even, "I" got it working again, thank you sir, the fan and light is working again from gently reseating the green ribbon cable

I am simply amazed, my microwave is going on 15 years and am just experiencing problem with the button panel that goes out and sometimes comes back on. I will try this info shared on how to fix my microwave and I am sure it will work...thank you so much👏💯❤

Brilliant, absolutely brilliant. Straight forward cable reseating video and God knows how many hundreds of dollars you have saved me with my 15 year old GE profile under cabinet microwave. Thank you, thank you, and THANK YOU!!!👍👍👍❤️❤️❤️🙏🙏🙏

Looked at Samsung website they said I need to replace it, but you helped me to fix it. this is the second time I got the same problem with Samsung, last time we replaced one, so glad I found your video here, than you so much

Thank you for posting this video. My old microwave wasn't responding properly to the push button panel controls. I saw your video and removed the panel, taking out and then re-seating the control ribbon into the circuit board just as you did. I put everything back together and checked. It is now working perfectly. Thanks again. My microwave is 22 years old by the way; some sort of record for longevity.

This is a wonderful video. It will save lot of money and frustration to lot of users. Thank you very much for clear shots and emphasizing critical issues. I have forwarded your video link to one of my relatives. Thank you once again for your time. You did a great service, Sir!!!

My wife was panic when our microwave doesn't stop beeping, she called me at work, the microwave won't wtop beeping, she's worried if she need to buy a new one. But when I search here in the youtube channel. How to fix the microwave panel? And you came up your video, and I follow your video, unplug the microwave power and full out the panel board, the connection was fine, except the wrapping cable got grease. So I clean it up very well and dry for it. Then when I install back the panel board and plug in back. Its working properly, and my wife was so happy. Thanks for the video its help a lots and learning something how to save the money to repair the appliances.

I just finished replacing the door switches when I plugged it in and the buttons didn't work. Your video saved me for $0. Thanks!

This video fixed a $400 microwave that was at the dump. Thanks!!

Thank you so much Sam, you saved my money, it's exactly losing the ribbon cable now it runs like the brand new microwave.

It worked like magic in my Whirlpool 1.6-cu ft 1200-Watt Countertop Microwave WMC30516AS. Thank you Sir. Really appreciated.

I hate to say it but, I fixed mine by unplugging it and plugging it back in again! I was about to take it apart and my wife suggested I try that. I can't believe it worked.

Thank you so much. You are truly a microwave saver!!!. I was about to order another one and then I remembered You Tube and how talented people share their skills and knowledge with others and you made my day! Thank you a thousand times.😊💎

OMG u love you I was about to not eat because my microwave keypad was not working now you help me and it did work!!! You got a well deserved LIKED!!!!

Thank you so so very Much! Your video caused me save $260 , my microwave is different model and it’s RV microwave, but the concept is same, the cable was loose, and I fixed it in 10 minutes. Blessings!

Thank you so much! My wires and ribbon looked fine inside, so I thought this wasn't the problem, but I simply pushed them in again gently just to make sure they are all fully really okay, and that fixed it!

One of the best helpful videos. Right to the point and showing step by step. Thank you !

I didn't realize how often I used my microwave until the buttons stopped working. Looked for the cheapest one on Amazon. $$$ Thanks this cost me nothing.

Perfect fix for our Samsung microwave. Thank You! In my case, the ribbon cable was securely in place. I removed it, cleaned it, and re-inserted it. Worked like a charm.

Thank you! Gave me the confidence to do it myself and its working fine now. I wouldnt have been able to afford another one for months so this really helped me out.

Thanks so much. I have a home warrantee policy and will probably still have to spend $75 for a service call, since it is a bit more than I want to try, but at least I know more than I did before, and can make sure whoever they send is careful and competent. 👍 Tip: Start a bank account for repairs. It is actually cheaper in the long run not to use these warrantee companies, and to just buy new stuff at some point, but my home was new over a decade ago, so I have paid a lot into warrantees, and feel I need to suffer with them now, to get some return on my outlay.

Well, I have to say I am pleasantly surprised. I used to work on copiers and the dome buttons were always the problem. I assumed it to be the case with my microwave. I did not want to spend that kind of money on an old inexpensive appliance. Thanks for the reminder that it can very well be the simple fix like cleaning contacts! Those pesky ribbon cables...I forgot about 'em. Thanks for the video and the how-to. I was back up in 15 minutes or so! Thanks again.

I'm just trying to COOK MY PIZZA ROLLS

this has got to be one of the best youtube videos EVER!!!! straightfoward to the point PERFECTION!!!! THANK YOU!!!!!

My microwave started beeping then gave me a se code took all the connectors apart pushed on the ribbon and everything started working again great easy fix thanks.

You just saved me probably 100$+. Thank you sir!

Found a new microwave that was trashed b/c the touchpads were not working.After watching the video i fixed it, thanks.

You just saved me $75, and that's one less microwave that will be sitting in a landfill. Kudos!

🔥 Great stuff Sam! Thank you so much for sharing your knowledge. I wish you many returns!

Well. That explains one thing. My panel will not repsond to a touch on any button... except the timer button. That makes sense because all of the other buttons involve priming the machine to turn on heating. But the timer does not engage the microwave it only engages the timer. Since the timer doesn't need the door safely closed to operate, it will respond with a beep even though none of the number buttons will respond . I am going to check this out right now. BRB.

Thank you it's a miracle that I had this issue very helpful video

Before one tries to open the panel, please unplug the microwave for 5 mins to overnight. It will reset and will work as normal. I found this technique to work all the time.

Thank you sir. Worked wonders! This was my exact issue. MO was a magic chef ( home depot) the assembly was even easier. Inner components where the same though. Bests to you!

Save the cash and time goin to go get another Micro!!!... haa.. Thnx buddy!!... I ddnt even think anybody else had the same problem!!.. Lol.. Glad I found u brother!!....✌️😎👍

Thank you so much. I changed by h.v. diode then got 0000 almost gave up. Your the man

Thank you very much for sharing. Saved me the cost of a new microwave...

Thank you This saved me from buying a new one after my original warranty ran out 😇

Thanks a lot man, my grandma was really sad cuz we needed to buy a NEW microwave but thanks to your help I fixed the one we already have! Thank you!

Great video BUT my microwave doesn't have a vent cover on TOP. I was able to find how to remove the cover on mine and will use your instructions for the next phase. Will also explore your channel for other topics because you are a good teacher :)

Thank you! It was helpful! My ribbon was in place, but I touched few things there on that panel and something fixed itself maybe. It works now!

wow, and my technician was just lazy to really check the problem. Thanks Sam, you saved me from buying a new one... which i don't have the money to do so. \

I had the same problem on my Electrolux microwave, it doesn't have a ribbon connector but it does have a long multi pin connector that presses against the control board. I just cleaned both connectors with alcohol put it back together and it works fine now.

Fix worked perfectly, thank you

Excellent video, but I want to caution you, DO NOT clean the cable end with any solvent! IT will wipe off the contact! Ask me how I know? I used a nickel conductive pen to paint them back on, and it mostly works except a few buttons.

Thankyou, working perfect now.

I did this last summer 2021 and it worked, but now it's happened again. I followed the same- procedure, but it's not working. It might be a bad key pad.....However, I'm going to take the summitch apart again and go through these procedures very slowly and carefully....again. Hopefully it will work. Failing that, I'll be looking to remover and replace the key pad.

Just fixed three y o GE after watching half your video. The control panel alone costs $175. Temperamental things, these LED boards.

I am shocked! Looks so easy. Thank you!

nice one, thanks. Clear explanations and good clear up-close focusing on panel board. Thanks, will try this fix tomorrow !

Thanks brotha, that was easy to follow and saved me money on repairs and/or having to buy a new one! Take care!

very helpful, thanks :)

Thank you so much for sharing. I was able to fix my Kenmore microwave following the exact steps you suggested.

good job, and fix my microwave easy with your video, thank you, and subscribe for your channel..💯

Exactly what was wrong with mine. Works fine now. THANKS.

This was exactly what I needed. Worked just like you said. Thanks so very much!

*IT WORKS... THANK YOU SIR...*

I just tried this on my Emerson microwave, and it worked right away. It's very strange that a cable like that would ever come loose. I'm wondering if disconnecting and reconnecting the ribbon cable is draining the panel of any residual power that might be causing the fault. Anyway, thanks for the quick fix!

My buttons are physical, and they do work (barely), so I'm not sure what's wrong with mine. For example, when I press "Microwave," that kind of works. Then, I have to press "Select," and that is harder to get working. After that, I have to set a time with the up/down buttons. There comes the bigger problem. The up arrow button simply doesn't work, and the down one does but barely. So I have to get that to work and hold it down until it counts down from 99 minutes. And then the "Start" button is another story. I can get that working by spamming it rapidly, and it either works or it doesn't.

Wow, if this works (and I suspect it probably will since mine has been going behaving this way sporadically for a couple of months), I'm going to save a lot of money! I will update later.

Excellent video. Very simplified tutorial.thanks a lot

What could be a reason for 1 main start/stop key doesn’t work at all , other buttons work

Only my ‘1’ Minute Button works. Intermittently, the ‘30 Sec” Button may work. Then stops working. All random. Presently I have 1 working button; that’s 1 Minute Button.

Just saved me 300 bux!! Thanks!

Thanks problem fixed at no cost😀

Your instructions solved my problem within minutes....thank you. The pad now works. Do you know how to stop the beeping on the model ffmv162lba?

I have a Samsung Microwave ME20H705MSS and after tearing apart the inside of the door, the ribbon cable was indeed un-seated. works now.

Does that fix the digital clock if only a few numbers are working?

My whole panel is off but the light inside the microwave is on..wtf

awesome...works great.

Very helpful video. My power is on and all the buttons work except the Start, Also not working is the quick start. When you press 1/2/3, it tells you to press the Start button instead of starting automatically. I really don't want to call for servicing or pay during this Covid problem. :-(

I have almost the same problem but only the #1 button, clock button and light button do not work, do you think I need to replace the entire keypad panel?

Thanks for sharing!

That did the trick for me. Thank you

Thank you for making this video sir mine is brand new not even a half a year old and it had the same problem I'm guessing I'm going to be doing it to mine in the morning as I just got off of work and am to tired to mess with it tonight but thank you so very much for making this video and I did subscribe to your channel.will.message you if I run into any sort of problems

I did it as the video advises. It worked. It make me look so good in front the family. JJJJJ. Thanks

Thank you so much sir

tried this with my lg but still didnt work. most of the buttons work except start, clear and 30 sec. not sure why part of a membrane would not work

Mine keeps flashing to set the time but none of the buttons are working

I'll try the ribbon cable. Thank you.

Had a power outage and it quit working clock to. But lights up inside when open door

Mine has no power, sometimes, and when it goes out if I tap it power comes and goes out. If it keeps the power, when I turn it on it immediately goes out. Frustrating as can be.

If your panel isn’t responding and the ribbon is still secure what would it be?

I tried to do this all my wires and ribbon looked good but I pushed all of them in gently and it still didn’t work any suggest

thanks! fixed my problem!

Hi, my microwave doesn't have the vent on top. Can the panel still fixed?

After doing this ... it works 2-3 times. Then again same problem. After doing the same thing ... it gain work. But after this Again error occurred. Error code: C-d0

THANK YOU

i have the control panel not responding bit the ribbon cable is fine. do you know what it could be? first it stopped to respond to some buttons, and when i managed to make it start it did not showed the numbers correctly, and sometimes when it got to 0 it just kept going starting from the max number like 76:76. and now the control panel does nothing.

Just calling repair places for this issue - $100+ just to diagnose. Will try this later and see if it works!

When i unplug it and replug it works? But has to be done each time?

i've seen dozens of videos with this as the solution.. but what if this doesn't' work? what do we do?

Thank you sir!!

why are there no videos on how to remove the control panel from a table top microwave?

It worked! Thanks!

Awesome job thank you

He'll Do U need to buy a new panel since the cable is not working
