Possible Causes

Debris or moisture under button cap, Worn or damaged tactile switch on LCD board, Shorted button traces on PCB

How to Fix / Troubleshooting

Safety first: Disconnect power before working on the front panel.

  • Step 1 – Physical check: Press the button repeatedly to see if it returns fully and feels normal. If it feels sticky, there may be contamination.
  • Step 2 – Clean button area: Remove the front cover and gently clean around the button with isopropyl alcohol. Allow to dry completely.
  • Step 3 – Inspect switch: Examine the tactile switch on the LCD or control board for cracks or bent leads. If damaged, replace the switch or the entire LCD/control board.
  • Step 4 – Test without button: Temporarily disconnect the button leads (if possible). If the error clears, the button or its wiring is the cause.
