Possible Causes

Water ingress under membrane keypad, Worn or cracked control panel overlay, Loose keypad ribbon cable, Failed keypad PCB

How to Fix / Troubleshooting

Safety first: Unplug the spa before pressing hard on the panel or attempting any disassembly.

  • 1. Dry the panel: Wipe the control panel thoroughly with a dry cloth. If there is visible condensation under the film, allow the unit to dry in a warm, shaded area.
  • 2. Avoid pressing too hard: Excessive force can damage the membrane switches. Use light, deliberate presses.
  • 3. Power reset: Unplug for 10–15 minutes, then reconnect and test button response.
  • 4. Check for physical damage: Look for cracks, lifted edges, or bubbling of the keypad overlay. These indicate water ingress and likely failure.
  • Next steps: If buttons remain unresponsive, the keypad assembly or its connection to the main PCB is faulty. Replacement of the top control panel or entire pump/heater unit is required; contact Lay‑Z‑Spa support.
