I was thinking about ordering the transformer and touch panel and then replace one piece at a time hopefully getting the unit to work. Then return the items that I dont plug in. Is this advisable? Will Appliance Parts Pros accept returns? the part numbers i was going to order are AP3043894 and AP3968801. What do you think?

Gene, I have replaced the touch panel as well as the transformer. now, the "start" button will not work but every other button seems to work fine. I have not replaced the electronic control board yet, is it possible that could also be bad?

I replaced the transformer first without replacing the keypad but it did not fix the problem at all. I then replaced the keypad and i thought it was fixed but the "start" button is the only one that doesnt work now. could it still only be a connection issue with the ribbon?

Gene. the l.e.d. is very clear but now i notice that the following buttons dont work: "lower oven", "min down", "hour down", "start" and "light" do not make a beep when i touch them. I removed the ribbon, cleaned the contacts with an eraser, and then powered the unit back. nothing has changed. the only part i have not replaced is the control board, can it still be an issue?

I hope you used a pencil eraser because a pen eraser can damage the ribbon. With the new control panel and transformer there is nothing left but the control board. Gene.

Gene. yes, i did use a pencil eraser and it did not fix the problem. I am expecting the control board in a few days and will report back when i make the installation.

Gene, I have now replaced the control board, key pad and transformer but the same buttons on the key board do not work. i have tested the thermal fuse and that tests ok. what should i try next?
