How to Fix / Troubleshooting
Safety first: Unplug before removing any covers.
- Check for lock mode: Consult the manual to see if a child lock or key lock function is enabled and how to disable it.
- Dry panel: If recently cleaned, leave the machine unplugged for several hours to allow moisture to evaporate.
- Clean gently: Wipe the panel with a dry cloth. Avoid using sprays directly on the controls.
- Reseat ribbon cable (advanced): Remove the top/front cover and reseat the ribbon cable between the panel and main board.
- If still unresponsive: The control panel assembly may need replacement.
