I just installed this microwave and only the clock lights up on the control panel, not the rest of the buttons. Is this a malfunction?

Yes - the only light comes from the clock display. The rest of the buttons are dark and require another light to shine on them.

My westclock has a small greenish light about the size of a dime behind the nine. Unless it is right next to me, I can not see what time it is. I had to move it next to the bed.

If you are just doing standard toasting the only thing that lights up are the heat coils. If you are using another function like frozen item or bagel then that function light lights up.

I gave it some thought before getting this model, wasn't sure if the light would be an issue & it hasn't. It's rate if I notice the lack of interior light. The microwave has worked well & I have been happy with its performance.

Mine does that the LED power meter, though it doesn't appear to light up at all. As the other person responded, is better to have the power meter icon in your system tray in lower right corner, easier to read, more informative, etc.

Have had mine for a few days, and I can't get the timer button to work. Any clues?

We had this microwave for 3 years. At the end we had to slam the door just right and multiple times to get it to work. It's in a landfill now. My wife hated it.To answer your specific question, yes the light always came on when we opened the door.

Oh i see what you mean now with the missing button. I just looked on mine and that button is black. When the backlight is on it looks like it is not lit up.

Touching start should cook it. Just put in the time first, then touch start. Did you set the clock first. If so, and it will not cook, return it.

It isn't too bad. It is basically done with the 3 multifunction buttons just to the left of the large button. I wish I could be of more help, but I don't have the clock reaidlyu availbale at this time.

This happened to me also. Just press the timer/clock button on the lower left and it should reset properly.

The light does come on in ours. However our digital clock is fast and has never been correct since we took it out of the box.

Sorry but I don't currently have the microwave...left it with my old roommate because the place I moved into had a built in one. I believe it's already set for full power, you just put the time in and hit start

Do you mean the clock from the old factory installed radio? The (old) radio display and the backlit lighting for the HVAC unit went dark for me when I swung the wiring harness connector over to the new radio.

If it is turning then the installation is fine, the clock is probably defective. It may get stuck at the point of the switch and cannot go forward.

Apparently from the other answers it looses correct time after a while (4 hours?), but keeps the settings (probably a small flash mem chip on board).My feeling is that it would just be one more clock to reset after a power outtage....Coffee Maker, Microwave, Oven, Bedside Alarm Clocks,Clock Radios, Etc.So it does not concern me.All I have to do is remember! :-)

You have to make sure your Microwave has the same patern that turns the plate. Also measure to make sure the plate is not to big.
