Possible Causes
Defective touch control panel, Damaged ribbon cable between UI and main board, Moisture behind display, Firmware glitch
How to Fix / Troubleshooting
Safety: Disconnect power before removing the user interface panel.
- Soft reset: Disconnect power for 5 minutes, then restore. Sometimes this clears temporary UI faults.
- Check for moisture: Inspect around the display and buttons for condensation or spills. Dry thoroughly and improve door sealing if needed.
- Inspect ribbon cable: Remove the UI panel and check the flat ribbon cable for kinks, tears, or loose connectors. Reseat both ends.
- Test buttons: In service mode (if available), test each button or touch zone. If some areas never respond, replace the UI panel.
- Board check: If a known-good UI still fails, the main control board may not be reading the interface correctly and may need replacement.
Note: Handle glass or touch panels carefully to avoid cracking.
