Safety: Unplug the fryer before opening the control housing.

Clean surface: Wipe the touch panel with a soft, slightly damp cloth and mild detergent. Dry completely.
Avoid wet fingers: Use dry hands when operating; moisture can interfere with capacitive sensing.
Reseat ribbon cable (advanced): Open the control housing and reseat the ribbon cable between the touch panel and main board.
Replace touch panel: If certain buttons never respond or require excessive pressure, replace the touch control panel assembly.

Oster air fryer buttons or touch controls respond intermittently or require very hard presses.
