Possible Causes

Worn or damaged keypad, Faulty encoder knob, Loose ribbon cable to PCB, Moisture ingress into control panel

How to Fix / Troubleshooting

Safety first: Isolate power before removing the front panel or control fascia.

User-level checks:

  • Try gently pressing buttons rather than hard; avoid using sharp objects.
  • If the panel is damp (e.g. from a leak), switch off the boiler and allow it to dry; do not use a hairdryer or heat gun.

Technical checks (qualified personnel):

  • Remove the control panel and inspect the ribbon cable and connectors; reseat firmly.
  • Check for signs of corrosion or water damage on the keypad PCB.
  • Replace the user interface module or keypad assembly if buttons remain unresponsive.
  • Verify correct communication between the UI and main PCB.

After replacement, test all buttons and settings for correct operation.
