Display Board
A Display Board is an electronic component found in many modern appliances that shows information to users, like temperature settings, time, or error codes. It's similar to a digital screen on your microwave or washing machine. Maintenance technicians often need to repair or replace these boards when appliances malfunction. These components might also be called control panels, digital displays, or LED displays. When reading resumes, you might see candidates mention experience with troubleshooting or replacing these parts, which is a valuable skill in appliance repair.
