Possible Causes

Worn membrane switches, Moisture intrusion, Cracked topside PCB, Contaminants under keypad overlay

How to Fix / Troubleshooting

Safety first: Turn off power before cleaning around the topside panel.

  • Clean keypad surface: Wipe with a soft, damp cloth to remove lotions or residues that may interfere with button operation.
  • Dry thoroughly: Allow the panel to dry completely if it has been exposed to water.
  • Test again: Restore power and test each button. If certain buttons still fail, the panel is likely worn out.
  • Replace topside panel: Install a compatible Aquaterra Spas topside control, ensuring the gasket seals properly to prevent future moisture damage.

If a new panel does not resolve the issue, the control board keypad interface may be at fault.
