Frigidaire, Professional Series PLMV169DCD
When plugged in, no clock is displayed. Nothing. No response to any buttons. No lights, no fan, no sound. It failed gradually. Starting from a few buttons that didn't work, then this.
It is a combo microwave/range hood. I opened up the panel/keyboard. There's a layer of grease on the circult board, and some grease droplets dangling on wires and connectors. Some greenish(!) grease drips out of connectors. Could the grease cause the connectors to fail?
I found on the internet a parts and schematic PDF for this model. Unfortunately, the schematic shows everything (relays, transformers, lights, fuses, magnetron, motors) but the controller board. Yet the controller board is where I want to start debugging since it houses the LCD display and hooks up to the keypad. Does anyone know where to get the controller board's schematic?
BTW, there's a note inside saying "this device should not be serviced by a do-it-yourself repair person". I could understand if it says "this device should be serviced only by a qualified person". But why get personal?
