How to Fix / Troubleshooting
Safety first: Unplug the unit before accessing the control panel.
Steps:
- Check power source: Plug the coffee maker directly into a wall outlet (no extension cord) to ensure stable voltage.
- Dry out moisture: If steam or spills have reached the display, allow the machine to dry in a warm, dry place for 24 hours.
- Inspect connections (advanced): Remove the control panel (with power disconnected) and check that the ribbon cable between the display and main board is fully seated.
- Replace display: If the LCD remains dim or segments are missing, the display module or entire control panel assembly may need replacement.
