How to Fix / Troubleshooting
Safety first: Unplug the air fryer before removing the control panel.
- Step 1 – Dry out moisture: If the issue started after cleaning or a spill, unplug the unit and let it dry for 24 hours in a warm, dry area. Do not use heat sources directly on the panel.
- Step 2 – Inspect panel surface: Look for cracks, bubbling, or delamination on the touch surface. Physical damage usually requires replacement.
- Step 3 – Reseat ribbon cable: Remove the control panel cover and gently unplug/replug the keypad ribbon cable on the main board.
- Step 4 – Replace keypad: If specific buttons never work or require excessive pressure, replace the touch control panel / keypad assembly.
