Default Microwave has gone crazy
Brand: Jenn-Air
Model Number: JMV8000BDB
Age: 5 - 10 years

Our microwave has gone crazy. When you push a key on the keypad, something other than intended occurs. For example, when the "1" is pushed, "2" appears on the display. It's like a box of chocolates, you never know what you are going to get. If you push enough buttons eventually you sometimes can get what you want. Occasionally, when the microwave finishes its cooking, it just starts over again. I suspect this is a problem with the control board. If this sounds right, can I replace it myself or should I look for a new one? I am very handy but don't do soldering.

This could be either the touch pad or the control.

My guess would be the touch pad has a stuck key causing it to malfunction.

It is possible to do your self although we don't recommend repairs to microwave be done with out being tested for leaks after the repair.

Here is a link to your microwave model JMV8000BDB.
