GE Microwave Touch Control Panel Repair

General Electric microwave ovens have a control panel on the right side of the oven. The control panel allows you to choose the cooking mode, oven power and set the cooking time. The panel also displays the time of day when the oven is not in use, and displays oven information while the oven is being used or programmed. If the control panel fails, the microwave will not function until a new one is installed.
