Kenmore / Sears Microwave Touch Pad

This control panel user interface assembly replaces a damaged or unresponsive front control module so you can operate the appliance normally. It houses the touchpad/buttons and display used to set cycles, temperatures, and functions. What it does:

• Replaces the front user interface so the appliance accepts inputs from buttons or a touchpad
• Restores visible status and cycle information when the display is dim, garbled, or blank
• Prevents intermittent or no-response behavior caused by a cracked keypad or damaged panel electronics
• Works as the primary interface between the user and the appliance control board

• Disconnect power (unplug or breaker) before starting any repair to avoid shock or damage.
• Remove any trim, bezel, or mounting screws to access the panel; handle the display and glass carefully to avoid scratches.
• Disconnect ribbon cables and wiring harnesses gently; note connector orientation for reinstallation.
• After installation, reconnect power and test all buttons/functions before reassembling trim.
