How to Fix / Troubleshooting

Safety: Unplug the unit before opening the control panel area.

  • Check viewing angle: Some LCDs appear dim from certain angles; view straight on.
  • Power reset: Unplug for 10 minutes and retry.
  • Internal connector: If accessible, ensure the display module connector is firmly attached to the PCB.
  • Operation without display: If the unit otherwise works, you may continue to use it by counting button presses, but accurate control is difficult.
  • Repair: Replace the display module or main control PCB as a complete assembly.
