How to Fix / Troubleshooting

Safety: Unplug the unit before opening the control area.

  • Clean exterior: Wipe the control panel with a slightly damp cloth to remove grime. Do not allow liquid to seep into the panel.
  • Inspect from inside: Remove the control panel cover to access the PCB. Check for signs of liquid damage or corrosion around the buttons.
  • Test switches: Press each tact switch directly on the PCB. If they feel mushy or do not click, they are worn and the PCB or switches should be replaced.
  • Replace panel PCB: Install a new Stadler Form control PCB if multiple switches have failed.
