Possible Causes

Loose ribbon cable between keypad and control board, Damaged membrane keypad, Failed UI microcontroller section, Moisture intrusion behind control panel

How to Fix / Troubleshooting

Safety: Unplug the coffee maker before removing the front panel.

  • 1. Inspect for moisture:
    • Check around the control panel for signs of condensation or coffee spills.
    • Dry the area thoroughly with a soft cloth; allow the unit to air dry for several hours.
  • 2. Reseat ribbon cable:
    • Remove the front bezel to access the keypad ribbon cable connection to the control board.
    • Carefully unplug and reinsert the ribbon, ensuring it is fully seated and locked.
  • 3. Test keypad:
    • With the unit reassembled enough to power safely, test each button for response.
    • If certain keys still do not work, the membrane keypad is likely defective and should be replaced.
  • 4. Inspect control board UI section:
    • Look for corrosion or damage where the ribbon connects to the PCB.
    • If traces are corroded or components are damaged, replace the main control PCB.
