Possible Causes

Moisture in control panel, Worn keypad contacts, Loose ribbon cable, Faulty UI PCB

Safety first: Turn off power at the breaker before removing the door panel.

Dry out panel: Leave the door open for several hours to allow any condensation to evaporate.
Inspect ribbon cable: Remove the inner door panel and check that the ribbon cable between the UI and main board is firmly connected and undamaged.
Avoid steam escape: Ensure the door gasket is intact to prevent steam from entering the control area.

If issues persist, replacing the user interface control board is usually required.
