How to Fix / Troubleshooting

Safety: Turn off power at the GFCI before accessing the control pack.

  • Check topside cable: Open the equipment bay and locate the ribbon or data cable from the topside panel to the control pack. Ensure it is fully seated and not corroded.
  • Inspect cable for damage: Look for cuts, pinches, or rodent damage along the cable path.
  • Power cycle: Restore power and see if the display returns to normal.

If the display remains blank, either the topside panel or the control board is faulty. A technician can test by substituting a known-good panel.
