Possible Causes

Stuck keypad button, Moisture in control panel, Failed user interface board, Loose ribbon cable between UI and main control

How to Fix / Troubleshooting

Safety first: Turn off power at the breaker before opening the control panel.

  • Check for stuck buttons: Press each button individually to feel for sticking. Wipe the panel with a slightly damp cloth and dry thoroughly.
  • Inspect for moisture: Remove the inner door panel to access the control area. Look for signs of condensation or water intrusion. Dry the area completely and identify any door gasket leaks.
  • Reseat ribbon cable: Disconnect and reconnect the flat ribbon cable between the user interface and main control board to ensure a solid connection.
  • Replace UI board if needed: If specific buttons do not respond or F10 persists, replace the user interface control panel assembly.

If a new UI does not resolve the issue, the main control board may be defective.
