How to Fix / Troubleshooting
Safety first: Unplug the unit before removing the control panel.
- 1. Dry the panel: If the panel has been splashed, unplug the unit and allow it to dry for several hours. Do not use a hairdryer on high heat.
- 2. Check for stuck buttons: Press each button individually to feel for sticking. Clean around the buttons with a slightly damp cloth and dry thoroughly.
- 3. Inspect ribbon cable: Remove the top or front cover to access the control panel PCB. Ensure the ribbon cable from the keypad is firmly seated in its connector.
- 4. Replace keypad: If some buttons never respond, replace the membrane keypad / control panel assembly.
- 5. PCB replacement: If a new keypad does not resolve the issue, the main control PCB may be faulty and require replacement.
