How to Fix / Troubleshooting
Safety first: Unplug the coffee maker before opening the control panel.
- Dry the panel: If the issue started after cleaning, allow the unit to dry for 24 hours in a warm, dry place.
- Clean surface: Wipe the control panel with a slightly damp cloth only; avoid spraying cleaner directly.
- Inspect ribbon cable: Open the housing and reseat the ribbon cable between the keypad and control board.
