How to Fix / Troubleshooting
Safety first: Unplug before removing the control panel.
- Step 1 – Dry the panel: If the panel was recently cleaned, allow it to dry completely. Do not spray cleaner directly onto the panel; spray onto a cloth instead.
- Step 2 – Reseat ribbon cable: Access the control panel and ensure the flat cable is fully inserted into the PCB connector.
- Step 3 – Inspect for cracks: Look for visible cracks or delamination on the touch panel. Replace the panel if damaged.
- Step 4 – PCB controller: If the panel and cable are good but still unresponsive, the touch controller on the main PCB may be faulty; replace the board.
