Possible Causes
Locked control panel (child lock), Faulty touchpad, Loose ribbon cable to main board, Failed user interface board
How to Fix / Troubleshooting
Safety first: Unplug the unit before removing the control panel.
Steps to restore control:
- Check for lock mode: Some Haier models have a control lock. Refer to the user manual to unlock (often by holding a specific button for several seconds).
- Power reset: Unplug the unit for 5–10 minutes, then plug back in and test buttons.
- Inspect connections: Remove the control panel and check the ribbon cable or harness between the panel and main board. Reseat firmly.
- Check for moisture: Look for signs of water ingress behind the panel. Dry thoroughly if present.
- Replace UI board: If buttons remain unresponsive, replace the user interface/control panel assembly.
When to call a technician: If a new panel does not resolve the issue, the main control board may be faulty and should be checked professionally.
