Where’s the job?

Scope of Works

• Inspect and diagnose the display fault and any associated control‑panel error codes

• isolate power and take required high‑voltage safety precautions (work carried out by qualified engineer)

• open the appliance to check the control PCB, display module, ribbon cable and connectors

• replace faulty display module, ribbon cable or control board using manufacturer or suitable aftermarket parts

• reassemble, restore power, programme clock/settings and run functional tests

• advise on warranty, parts lead times and safe disposal of electronic components

Typical Cost

Time on Site

Most diagnostics and straightforward display replacements take 30–90 minutes on site. If parts are not stocked the engineer may order components and return 1–7 days later or advise replacement for older sealed units

Questions to Ask Your Tradie

• have you repaired this make and model before and do you carry compatible display parts

• are you a qualified appliance engineer and insured to work on mains‑powered microwaves

• will you show the microwave working before you leave and what warranty do you offer on parts and labour

• if the display is part of the control PCB can you source a manufacturer module or recommend a reliable aftermarket option

• will you need to take the appliance away or can the repair be completed on site

• what are the likely costs if the control PCB needs replacing versus just the display module

How to Avoid Surprises

• clear the area and remove food and utensils from the microwave

• ensure the appliance is accessible or tell the trader if it is built‑in and how it is fixed in place

• send make, model and photos of the display or any error codes before the visit

• check parking and access for the engineer and any communal‑block rules that affect visits

• ask about parts lead times and whether a return visit or taking the unit away will be required

• secure pets and ensure power can be isolated at the socket or fuse for safety
