Safety first: Unplug the air fryer before removing the control panel.

Steps to address unresponsive controls:

1. Power reset: Unplug for 5–10 minutes, then plug back in. Sometimes the microcontroller locks up.
2. Clean exterior: Wipe the control panel with a slightly damp cloth to remove grease. Do not spray cleaner directly onto the panel.
3. Access control panel: Remove screws securing the front panel. Carefully tilt it forward to expose the ribbon cable.
4. Reseat ribbon cable: Gently unplug and reinsert the cable, ensuring it is straight and fully seated.
5. Inspect for moisture: If condensation or liquid is visible inside the panel, allow it to dry completely before reassembly.
6. Replace control panel assembly: If specific buttons never work or the panel is cracked, replace the Insignia control panel assembly.

Warning: Do not operate the unit with the control panel removed; live parts may be exposed.

Air fryer powers on but buttons do not respond or respond intermittently.
