Resetting a modern electronic microwave oven without physically unplugging the power cord from the wall outlet behind the unit can be accomplished by using your home's electrical service panel. Locate your home circuit breaker box and find the dedicated circuit breaker switch that supplies electrical power to your kitchen outlets and microwave. Switch that specific breaker to the "Off" position, leave it completely disconnected for a full two minutes to allow internal control board capacitors and microprocessor logic chips to drain entirely of residual voltage, and then flip the breaker back to the "On" position. You can troubleshoot control lockups safely. You can verify that your corrective action is successful when restoring electrical power at the breaker box causes the digital clock display to flash and return to a normal standby state.
