Possible Causes

Faulty Start button on touch panel, Basket not detected by sensor, Lid not fully closed, Control PCB input failure

How to Fix / Troubleshooting

Safety first: Unplug before physical inspection.

  • Confirm setup: Ensure the basket and pan are fully inserted and the lid/door is completely closed.
  • Check display messages: Look for any icons indicating open door or missing basket. Resolve those first.
  • Test other buttons: If other keys respond but Start does not, the Start key area of the touch panel may be faulty.
  • Reset: Unplug for 5 minutes, then reconnect and try again. If still no response, the touch panel or control board likely needs replacement.

Warning: Do not force the buttons with sharp objects; this can damage the membrane.
