Russell Hobbs Keypad / Switch Failure

Buttons on the control panel are unresponsive or require very hard presses.

This repair may involve working with high voltage components or water connections. Always unplug the appliance before removing any panels.

If you are not confident in your ability to perform this repair safely, we strongly recommend contacting a professional technician.

Possible Causes

Worn tact switches on PCB, Moisture ingress under keypad, Cracked control panel PCB, Loose ribbon cable

Safety first: Unplug the coffee maker before opening the control panel.

Dry out moisture: If the panel was recently cleaned with liquid, unplug and allow to dry for 24 hours.
Inspect ribbon cable: Remove the top cover and reseat the cable between the keypad and main PCB.
Test individual buttons: If some work and others do not, the tact switches for those buttons are likely worn.
Repair: Replace the keypad PCB or individual tact switches if you have soldering skills.
