Possible Causes

Failed display board, Loose UI harness, Faulty low-voltage supply from main PCB, Moisture ingress into control panel

How to Fix / Troubleshooting

Safety first: Unplug the unit before removing the control panel.

Steps:

  • Check harness: Remove the control panel and verify the ribbon cable or harness is firmly connected at both ends.
  • Inspect for moisture: Look for condensation or corrosion on the display board. Dry gently and clean if minor; replace if heavily corroded.
  • Measure low-voltage supply: With appropriate precautions and skills, verify that the main PCB is supplying the correct low voltage to the UI. If not, the main board may be faulty.
  • Replace display board: If power is present but the display remains blank, replace the user interface board.
