Control panel buttons unresponsive; cannot change temperature or settings

This repair may involve working with high voltage components or water connections. Always unplug the appliance before removing any panels.

If you are not confident in your ability to perform this repair safely, we strongly recommend contacting a professional technician.

Possible Causes

Locked control (child lock feature), Failed touch panel, Loose ribbon cable, Main board not supplying panel power

Safety first: Unplug the freezer before removing the control panel.

Steps:

Check for control lock: Many Midea models have a lock function (e.g., press and hold a specific button for 3–5 seconds). Refer to the user manual and attempt to unlock.
Power reset: Unplug for 5 minutes and reconnect to see if the panel recovers.
Inspect panel connections: Remove the control panel and reseat the ribbon cable between the panel and main board.
Replace panel: If still unresponsive, replace the Midea control panel/user interface board.
