Kitchenaid oven display not working. A microwave is a great convenience for any kitchen. It’s often used multiple times throughout the day to heat as well as to cook food, but this will over time cause trouble with the machine.
After a long period of usage, a microwave may need repairs and one common issue is that of your display not working.
This usually happens because of damage to the LCD panel situated on your control board or in the most extreme cases because something has melted in the unit (either above or below).
There are many reasons for a bad display, but depending on the type of device your microwave is we may be able to help you with some DIY solutions!
Kitchenaid Oven display not working
Here we will discuss some common issues and solutions for the Kitchenaid Oven display not working.
Broken main circuit board
If the display board is only displaying one small segment of an image, chances are the main control board is to blame.
If no light comes up on the display at all, then either the main control board or the display board could be faulty.
Power supply Problems
Power could be the reason why your microwave display board doesn’t turn on. To check whether the problem is with your microwave or power supply, plug in another appliance to the same socket and turn it on.
If everything works then the problem could be with your microwave’s display, though if anything else like a cooler or fan does not work too then it is definitely an issue with the power supply.
Monitor fuse Defects
If the microwave display is not engaging, then you should check both the temperature and monitor fuse (battery or capacitor) as well.
If both are gone out, then it could be a problem with the display itself and you may need to replace the backlight or inverter, or it may be something else entirely.
Each microwave type has a different fuse that is placed in a different part of the appliance, so be sure yours is not blown out before proceeding.
Don’t forget that each brand also uses different parts and components for many devices like this one.
Be sure to check your knowledge base and/or manual on how to identify any blown fuses inside your appliance first thing!
Energy Saving Mode
Some oven models have a six-hour energy-saving feature that will turn off the oven automatically. Consult your manual for other ways to work around this if necessary.
If you are unsure how to manually disable these features on your particular model, refer to your manufacturer’s website or call their customer service line depending on what is available in your area.
Incoming Power Problem
If the digital display on your oven is not working, the first thing to check is if there’s the power to the entire appliance.
The power cord actually acts as your primary electrical circuit for powering your range and to troubleshoot this issue, simply unplug it from its outlet and plug it back in.
The fuse or circuit breaker may need to be reset or replaced if the problem persists. If other appliances are also without power, check to see if some of them are powered off accidentally by resetting them individually.
Another possibility could be that the entire house has lost power temporarily, so try contacting your power company to see if the outage will affect a larger area or simply wait for the lights to go back on their own.

What do I do if the fuse in my oven blows?
To determine if the fuse has blown, visually inspect it. An electrical device has a glass window that displays the fusible element.
