T-fal Keypad / Membrane Switch Wear

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

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 membrane contacts, Moisture ingress behind control panel, Loose ribbon cable to control board, Cracked control panel PCB

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

Clean surface: Wipe the panel with a slightly damp cloth to remove sticky residues. Do not spray cleaner directly onto the panel.
Dry thoroughly: If moisture has entered, allow the unit to sit unplugged in a dry place for 24 hours.
Test all buttons: Check whether some buttons work normally while others do not; this indicates localized membrane wear.

Persistent unresponsiveness usually requires replacement of the keypad or entire control panel assembly.
