How to Fix / Troubleshooting
Safety first: Turn off power at the breaker before opening the door panel.
- Check for stuck buttons: Press each button on the control panel several times to see if any are physically stuck or feel different.
- Open control panel: Remove inner door screws to access the UI board. Inspect for signs of moisture, corrosion, or burnt components.
- Dry and clean: If moisture is present, gently dry the area and allow it to air dry completely. Do not use excessive heat.
- Inspect ribbon cable: Ensure the cable between the UI and main board is intact and not pinched.
- Replace UI board: If a specific button is shorted or the board is damaged, replace the control panel / UI PCB with an Arcelik-compatible part.
