Possible Causes
Moisture under touch panel, cracked touch glass, failing capacitive sensor IC, loose UI ribbon cable
How to Fix / Troubleshooting
Safety First: Unplug the unit before removing the control panel. Do not use sharp tools on the touch surface.
Step-by-step checks:
- Dry the panel: If the panel was recently cleaned with liquid, unplug the unit and allow it to dry for 24 hours. Do not use the air fryer until fully dry.
- Clean surface: Wipe the touch area with a dry microfiber cloth to remove grease and residue that can affect capacitive sensing.
- Check for cracks: Inspect the control surface for cracks or delamination. Physical damage can cause ghost touches.
- Reseat ribbon cable (advanced): Remove the control panel and reseat the ribbon cable between the touch board and main board.
- Replace UI board: If erratic behavior continues, replace the display/touch control board.
Note: Avoid spraying cleaners directly on the panel; apply to a cloth first.
