Air fryer powers on but will not start cooking; pressing Start does nothing and no error code is shown.

Safety first: Disconnect from mains before opening the control panel.

Steps to troubleshoot:

• Confirm settings: Ensure a temperature and time are selected and the drawer is fully inserted. Some Beko models require pressing Start firmly for 1–2 seconds.
• Check basket switch: Gently push the drawer in and out while watching the display. If the ready indicator flickers, the basket detection switch may be intermittent (see basket switch entry).
• Clean the control panel: Wipe the touch area with a soft cloth. Grease or moisture can affect touch sensitivity.
• Power reset: Unplug for 10 minutes, then reconnect and test again.
• Inspect UI connections: Remove the control panel cover and reseat the ribbon cable between the touch PCB and main PCB.
• Replace touch PCB: If only the Start button area is unresponsive while other buttons work, replace the touch control PCB.
