Hello Lowell,

Thank you for getting in touch with Experthelp. Please also verify if the model number is MEW5530DDB. I cannot seem to find any information on MEW5503DDB. Thanks

Thanks for replying. Before we conclude that the oven control panel is broken lets try some troubleshooting. Some  ovens may be equipped with Control Lock. Look for "Control Lock" on the oven control console, then reset by, typically, pushing & holding for 3 seconds. Please let me know when you see it.

Do you see OFF on the display? 

Press and hold the CANCEL and Cook & Hold pads for three seconds. let me know what happens

Thanks for verifying. It looks like the control panel has started to go bad since its showing symptoms of unresponsiveness. 

This is the control panel for your oven correct? If some keys are not working and your oven does not respond to any programming, the control panel has gone bad and needs replacement.

The yellow tab is just a sticker label which can be removed. You can also try looking at this first before you decide a new oven its a link to control panel replacement part Instructions are simple in replacing the control panel.
