Possible Causes

Worn touchpad contacts, Moisture intrusion into control panel, Loose ribbon cable, Cracked UI board

How to Fix / Troubleshooting

Safety: Disconnect power before removing the inner door panel.

  • Dry and clean: Wipe the control panel surface and ensure it is dry. Avoid spraying cleaners directly on the panel.
  • Inspect ribbon cable: Remove the inner door panel and check the ribbon cable between the UI and main control. Reseat it firmly.
  • Check for corrosion: Look for signs of moisture or corrosion on the UI board. If present, the UI assembly should be replaced.
  • Replace UI: If specific buttons consistently fail, replace the user interface control panel with the correct JennAir part.

Note: Excessive steam from a faulty vent can accelerate UI failure; address vent issues as well.
