Possible Causes

Loose cable between main board and user interface, Damaged display/control PCB, Electrical noise or surge damage, Corroded connectors

How to Fix / Troubleshooting

Safety first: Unplug the machine before removing panels.

Steps:

  • Check external power: Plug the machine directly into a wall outlet (no power strips) to rule out supply issues.
  • Inspect internal cables: Remove the top cover and check ribbon cables and harnesses between the main control board and the front display/keyboard PCB. Reseat connectors firmly.
  • Look for corrosion: If you see green/white corrosion on connectors, clean gently with contact cleaner and a soft brush (machine unplugged).

If F15 persists, either the main board or the user interface board is defective. Replacement should be done by a qualified technician.
