Microwave lost light /display

Kenmore microwave model 40185043310. Was wiping out interior with wet papertowel and all of a sudden the light and display went out. Unplugged and still nothing on plugging in again. The strange thing is when i hit the upper rear area inside the light and display came on and it beeped. When I removed my hand though it disappeared again. Ideas?

@ckpa that is the general area where your capacitors and transformers are located. You may consider removing the outer cabinet to see if your MW has some loose connection etc., just do not touch anything and have your MW disconnected from the power supply when you consider working on it. It packs a punch and can easily zap you pretty good. If you unsure of doing any of this I would suggest you take it to an appliance repair shop and have them look at it. MW are not the ideal appliance to work on for the less than novice DIY’er
