Safety first: Unplug the unit before cleaning or opening the control panel.

Steps:

1. Clean surface: Wipe the touch panel with a soft cloth lightly dampened with mild detergent, then dry thoroughly. Remove any grease or residue.
2. Dry moisture: If the issue started after cleaning or a spill, leave the fryer unplugged for 24 hours to allow moisture to evaporate.
3. Inspect touch PCB: Open the fascia and examine the touch PCB for cracks or corrosion. Replace the panel if damaged.
4. Check grounding: Ensure the control board and panel grounding points are secure. Poor grounding can increase noise susceptibility.
5. Evaluate power supply: If other symptoms (flickering display, resets) are present, the low-voltage supply may be unstable. Replace the main control board.
6. Reassemble and test: After cleaning and any replacements, test all buttons for proper response.

Warning: Avoid using excessive water or spray cleaners directly on the panel; this can cause permanent damage.

Buttons or touch controls respond intermittently or activate by themselves.
