1. Make sure the microwave is properly plugged in and the power outlet is functioning.

If none of these steps resolve the issue, it is recommended to contact KitchenAid customer support or a professional appliance repair technician for further assistance.

There could be several reasons why the KitchenAid microwave display is not working. Here are a few common troubleshooting steps you can try:
1. Check the power supply: Ensure that the microwave is properly plugged into a functioning power outlet and that the outlet is receiving power. You can test the outlet by plugging in another device to see if it works.
2. Reset the microwave: Sometimes, a simple reset can fix display issues. Unplug the microwave from the power source for a few minutes, then plug it back in and see if the display starts working.
3. Check the circuit breaker: If the microwave is connected to a circuit, check if the circuit breaker has tripped. Resetting the circuit breaker may restore power to the microwave.
4. Test the microwave's settings: If the display is not working but other functions of the microwave are still operational, it might be an issue with the display panel itself. Try using the microwave's features by inputting the time and starting a cooking program to see if the microwave is still functioning properly, aside from the display.
5. Seek professional help: If none of the above steps work, it could be a sign of a more serious issue with the microwave's internal components. It would be advisable to contact KitchenAid customer service or a professional appliance repair technician to diagnose and fix the problem.
