Possible Causes

Moisture ingress into control panel, Failed touch sensor or keypad, Loose ribbon cable to main PCB, Faulty display/control PCB

How to Fix / Troubleshooting

Safety: Unplug the unit before opening the control panel.

Steps:

  • Power reset: Unplug for 10 minutes and reconnect. Sometimes this clears minor glitches.
  • Dry the panel: If the panel was exposed to water (e.g., cleaning spray), allow it to dry completely for 24 hours in a warm, dry place.
  • Inspect ribbon cable: Open the housing to access the control panel PCB. Reseat the ribbon cable or connector between the panel and main board.
  • Check for corrosion: Look for white/green corrosion on the control PCB. Light corrosion can be cleaned with isopropyl alcohol and a soft brush.
  • Replace control panel PCB: If buttons remain unresponsive or random, replace the display/control PCB with a compatible BONECO part.
