Pressing the clear button doesn't seem to stop the beeping and we just have to turn it off by flipping the breaker. We can't find where it's plugged in. We also notice that the microwave just seems to collect moisture when we're cooking on the range. Could this be part of the problem? Is it normal for over the range microwaves to just collect moisture or could it be a problem with the venting?

Slide the grille to the left to release the tabs and pull it out. Remove the screw holding the control panel and pull it up to release the tabs and pull it toward yourself. Draw a picture of the wires connected to the smart board and remove them. Remove the touch pad ribbon from the smart board, remove the screws holding the smart board to the control panel. Remove the smart board from the old control panel. Assemble in the reversed order. Tom ApplianceEducator.com

Also, should I be concerned about the amount of moisture collecting on the microwave when using the range? Is the problem going to occur again? What caused the control panel to go bad?
