Possible Causes
Defective touch panel, Moisture behind control panel, Loose ribbon cable to UI board, Faulty UI electronics
How to Fix / Troubleshooting
Safety first: Unplug the machine before removing the control panel or front cover.
Step-by-step:
- 1. Power reset: Unplug for 5–10 minutes, then reconnect. Sometimes the UI can lock up due to software glitches.
- 2. Dry the panel: If the panel was recently cleaned with a wet cloth, leave the machine unplugged for several hours to allow moisture to evaporate.
- 3. Check for stuck buttons: Gently press each physical button (if present) to ensure none are jammed. Wipe the surface with a slightly damp, then dry cloth.
- 4. Inspect ribbon cable (advanced): Remove the front panel and check that the flat ribbon cable between the UI and main board is fully seated and undamaged.
- 5. Professional replacement: If E17 persists, the touch panel or UI board may need replacement by a Siemens technician.
