Control buttons on the Gastroback ice maker do not respond or respond intermittently.

This repair may involve working with high voltage components or water connections. Always unplug the appliance before removing any panels.

If you are not confident in your ability to perform this repair safely, we strongly recommend contacting a professional technician.

Possible Causes

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

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.
