Possible Causes

Water intrusion under keypad overlay, Cracked topside panel, Damaged ribbon cable to control pack, Worn button contacts

How to Fix / Troubleshooting

Safety first: Turn off power at the GFCI breaker before disconnecting the topside panel.

Steps:

  • Inspect panel surface: Look for bubbles, cracks, or moisture under the overlay. This indicates water intrusion.
  • Check cable connection: Remove the equipment bay panel and verify the topside ribbon cable is firmly seated on the control pack.
  • Test with replacement (if available): If you have access to a compatible Dream Maker topside, plug it in to see if functionality returns.
  • Replace topside panel: If the panel is water-damaged or buttons are worn, replace it with a Dream Maker-compatible topside control matched to your control pack model.
