How to Fix / Troubleshooting
Safety: Unplug before removing the control panel.
- Dry the panel: If the surface is wet, wipe it dry and allow 30 minutes before reconnecting power.
- Clean around buttons: Use a slightly damp cloth to clean around the buttons, then dry thoroughly.
- Check cable (advanced): Remove the top cover and ensure the ribbon cable from the keypad to the PCB is fully seated.
- Test individual buttons: Try all buttons to see if only some are affected, which indicates worn switches.
Non-responsive buttons after these steps usually mean the control panel PCB or keypad membrane must be replaced.
