How to Fix / Troubleshooting
Safety first: Unplug the smoker before removing the control panel.
Steps:
- Remove the control panel bezel and carefully disconnect the keypad ribbon cable from the main board.
- Inspect the cable for cracks or corrosion; clean contacts gently with isopropyl alcohol and reconnect firmly.
- Check for signs of moisture or condensation inside the control housing; dry thoroughly and allow to air dry.
- If specific buttons consistently fail while others work, the keypad membrane is likely worn and should be replaced as an assembly.
