Possible Causes
How to Fix / Troubleshooting
Safety first: Unplug the air fryer before working on the control panel. Do not use excessive liquid cleaners on the panel.
Steps to troubleshoot unresponsive controls:
- Clean the panel: Wipe the control surface with a soft, slightly damp cloth to remove grease and residue. Dry thoroughly.
- Power reset: Unplug for 10 minutes, then plug back in and test. Some touch controllers can lock up and need a full reset.
- Access keypad PCB: Remove the front or top cover to reach the touch control PCB. Inspect for cracks, especially around mounting points.
- Check connectors: Reseat the cable between the keypad PCB and the main control board.
- Replace keypad PCB: If certain buttons never work or the panel is physically damaged, replace the Kalorik touch control PCB / keypad board.
- Main board replacement: If a new keypad does not resolve the issue, the main control PCB may have a defective touch controller and should be replaced.
After reassembly, verify that all buttons respond correctly before regular use.
