Possible Causes

Loose ribbon cable between touch panel and main PCB, Moisture or grease contamination on touch panel, Failed touch sensor board, Faulty main control PCB interface

How to Fix / Troubleshooting

Safety first: Disconnect power before opening the control panel. Avoid static discharge to electronic boards.

Basic cleaning:

  • Wipe the control panel surface with a slightly damp, non-abrasive cloth to remove grease and residue. Dry thoroughly.
  • Ensure no liquid has seeped into the panel. If it has, allow the unit to dry for at least 24 hours in a warm, dry area before further testing.

Internal checks:

  • Remove the screws securing the control panel and gently lift it to access the touch panel ribbon cable.
  • Disconnect and reconnect the ribbon cable to the main PCB, ensuring it is fully seated and locked.
  • Inspect the touch panel PCB for corrosion, burnt components, or cracked traces.

Corrective action:

  • If the touch panel shows signs of liquid damage or cracked traces, replace the entire touch control panel assembly.
  • If the panel appears fine but E7 persists, the main control PCB may have a failed interface circuit and should be replaced.
  • After reassembly, test all buttons and functions to confirm proper operation.
