Possible Causes
Moisture on touch surface, Faulty capacitive touch controller, Electrical noise from failing power supply, Cracked touch panel
How to Fix / Troubleshooting
Safety first: Unplug the air fryer if buttons are activating on their own.
Steps to address ghost touches:
- 1. Clean and dry panel: Wipe the touch surface with a dry, lint-free cloth. Ensure no moisture or cleaner residue remains.
- 2. Power reset: Unplug for 10–15 minutes to reset the touch controller.
- 3. Inspect for cracks: Look closely for hairline cracks in the touch panel. If present, replace the control panel assembly.
- 4. Check grounding: Ensure the control panel and main board ground connections are secure; poor grounding can increase noise.
- 5. Replace control panel or main board: If ghost touches persist, replace the Insignia control panel assembly. If that does not resolve it, the main control board may be injecting noise and should be replaced.
Warning: Do not continue using the unit if it starts cycles unexpectedly; this is a safety concern.
