No, the vast majority of residential countertop and built-in microwave ovens do not feature a physical "reset" button or switch anywhere on their control panels or exterior housings. Instead, manufacturers design microwave control boards to be reset electronically by performing a complete electrical power interruption. To reset your microwave, you must unplug the power cord from the wall outlet or switch off the dedicated circuit breaker supplying power to the kitchen appliance for at least two full minutes. You can troubleshoot control lockups easily. You can verify that your corrective action is successful when plugging the microwave back in causes the digital display to flash, indicating that the microprocessor has successfully rebooted.
