Possible Causes

Loose ribbon cable between UI and main board, Failed user interface (control panel), Moisture intrusion into control panel, Faulty main control board UI circuit

How to Fix / Troubleshooting

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

  • Access control panel: Remove the inner door screws to separate the inner and outer door panels. Carefully support the control panel assembly.
  • Check ribbon cable: Inspect the flat ribbon cable or harness connecting the user interface board to the main control board. Reseat both ends and ensure there is no corrosion or damage.
  • Look for moisture: Check for signs of water or steam intrusion around the control panel. Dry the area thoroughly and correct any door seal issues that may allow steam to reach the electronics.
  • Test UI board: If buttons remain unresponsive, the user interface board is likely faulty and should be replaced with the correct Summit part.
  • Control board check: If a new UI does not resolve E11, the main control board may have a communication fault and will need replacement.
