How to Fix / Troubleshooting

Safety first: Unplug the unit before removing any control panel components.

  • Step 1 – Clean panel: Wipe the control panel with a soft, slightly damp cloth and then dry thoroughly. Remove grease or residue that may interfere with touch sensitivity.
  • Step 2 – Power reset: Unplug for 5–10 minutes, then plug back in and test.
  • Step 3 – Drying period: If the panel was exposed to steam or spills, allow the unit to dry in a warm, dry room for 24 hours.
  • Step 4 – Internal inspection (advanced): Remove the control panel cover and check the ribbon cable connection between the touch panel and control board. Reseat if loose.
  • Step 5 – Replace touch panel: If specific buttons consistently fail, replace the touch panel or UI board as a complete assembly.
