How to Fix / Troubleshooting

Safety first: Unplug the unit before cleaning the control panel.

  • Surface cleaning: Wipe the control panel with a soft cloth lightly dampened with mild soapy water, then dry thoroughly. Do not allow liquid to seep into seams.
  • Test all buttons: After drying, plug in and test each button. Note which ones are unresponsive.
  • Power reset: Unplug for a few minutes and plug back in to clear any temporary logic issues.
  • Persistent issues: If specific buttons remain unresponsive, the keypad membrane or control board likely needs replacement, which requires opening the housing.
