How to Fix / Troubleshooting

Safety: Disconnect power before removing the control panel.

  • Dry the panel: If the panel has been exposed to water splashes, unplug the unit and let it dry for 24 hours in a warm, dry room.
  • Check cable: Remove the top cover to access the touch panel board. Ensure the ribbon cable or harness is fully seated at both ends.
  • Clean contacts: Gently unplug and reinsert the connector to improve contact.
