In some cases, one can clean the rear of the display window and the front of the glass to brighten it up a bit.
Use a soft cloth (not a paper towel, which will scratch plastic) and dampen it with a non-ammonia cleaner. Ammonia damages some plastics.
But more often than not, the VFD tube is wearing out.
You can replace the circuit board. It's part number W10198000 and you can get it here for $60.14 plus shipping: http://tinyurl.com/gv383
