How to Fix / Troubleshooting
Safety first: Unplug the unit before touching the control panel internals.
Steps:
- Dry the panel: Wipe the control panel with a dry cloth. If it has been exposed to spills, allow it to dry for several hours unplugged.
- Power reset: After drying, plug back in and test the buttons.
If only some buttons fail or they work intermittently, the keypad membrane or ribbon cable may be damaged and should be replaced as a complete control panel assembly.
