I'm using 12 x 12 by 7 mm momentary switch, and drilled 8 mm holes for them, but in this particular microwave, I wish I have chosen the 12 x 12 x 5mm ones.
The ribbon cable is AWG28 multi-colored ribbon cable.
The tape was 3M VHB Tape 4914 0.25mm tape.
Thanks for watching.

Interesting - eBay shows a 20-pk of these switches for US $2.35 + $3.00 shipping. Control panel for my microwave = US $128.00.
I can get a similar microwave on craigslist for us $40-$60, but with your fix, I can keep my old microwave out of the landfill.

This looks interesting but I cant find these switches, what are they called? thanks

Hi, how did you put the numbering on your diagram? I start to do mine DIY, but I realize yours have numbering and I dont know how to start my diagram by just looking at the membrane. Please help, thanks.

I have the same microwave and it's not displaying any LED Clock & none of the buttons are functioning,it's still got mains power as the interior light still lights up but nothing else is the PCB faulty?.

[@wolfzert]

el costo de la membrana no se compara al de todos los botones, pero sí lo compensa el tiempo de duracion de cada uno a largo plazo!

[@parissmiddy1384]

Anyone know what the specifications are for these switches?

[@nazrialert2125]

What is the size/dimension of the dip switch?

[@47f0]

In the description - 12 x 12 by 7 mm momentary switch (but says better would have been 12 x 12 x 5mm )

[@deependz3231]

Didn't have a heat gun so I used scalding hot water, worked fine.

[@xXFOYXxQ8]

i used a PVC glue. Works wonders as well lol
