Possible Causes

Loose or damaged keypad ribbon cable, Failed user interface board, Moisture intrusion into control panel, Main PCB communication failure

How to Fix / Troubleshooting

Safety: Unplug the unit before removing the control panel.

Steps:

  • Dry the panel: If the panel was recently exposed to cleaning sprays or condensation, allow it to dry for several hours in a warm, dry room.
  • Inspect ribbon cable: Remove the front control panel and check the flat ribbon cable between the keypad and main board. Reseat both ends and ensure there are no kinks or cracks.
  • Check for corrosion: Look for green/white corrosion on connectors; clean gently with contact cleaner and a soft brush.
  • Replace interface board: If E0 persists and buttons are unresponsive, replace the user interface/control panel board.
  • Main board check: If a new interface board does not resolve the issue, the main control board may also need replacement.

Tip: Avoid spraying cleaners directly on the control panel; spray onto a cloth first to prevent future moisture damage.
