The touch panel display on my oven (about 2 years old) has stopped working. The touch panel itself *does* work. The buttons beep, it turns on the oven, activates the light inside the oven, but the clock area that also shows oven temp, timer, on/off status is blank.

I just had some electrical work done in the house (unrelated to the oven specifically), and breakers were turned off/on repeatedly as part of the job. I am assuming something they did affected the panel. The electrician is skeptical, but has agreed to come back and take a look. I don't expect him to be much help.

If the buttons work, but the display is dead, what is the best course of action?

Thanks for your help!

Thanks for the reply and the links - after further research, I was coming to the same conclusion.

So do you think that the fact that the control board went dead the same day the electrician was cutting/restoring power throughout the house is completely unrelated (a coincidence) or you think it probably is related, but it's still not his fault? We've had plenty of weather-related power outages where the electricity goes out/comes back on randomly, with no adverse affects to the oven.

I'm just trying to get a handle on the cause, so I can prevent it from happening again, if possible.

Well, nothing else blown, but my modem was reset to factory default settings as if it just came out of the box - SSID name, security settings - all wiped.

A power spike seems likely to me, and I will see what the electrician thinks when he returns.
