Possible Causes

Moisture ingress into control panel, Worn membrane switches, Loose ribbon cable to main PCB, Faulty touch sensor board

How to Fix / Troubleshooting

Safety first: Unplug before removing the control panel cover.

Steps:

  • Dry the panel: If the surface is wet, wipe it dry and allow the unit to sit unplugged for several hours to let internal moisture evaporate.
  • Clean around buttons: Use a slightly damp cloth (no harsh chemicals) to remove sticky residues that may hinder button travel.
  • Check ribbon cable: If accessible, reseat the flat cable between the keypad and main board.

If specific buttons never work or require excessive pressure, the keypad or display board should be replaced.
