Failed touch panel or keypad, Loose ribbon cable between UI and main PCB, Moisture ingress behind control panel, Cracked display PCB

How to Fix / Troubleshooting

Safety: Disconnect power before removing the control panel. Handle electronic boards carefully to avoid static damage.

Steps to address E15:

  • Inspect control panel: Check for visible cracks, warping, or signs of water damage on the keypad or display area.
  • Reseat ribbon cable: Remove the control panel cover and gently disconnect and reconnect the ribbon cable between the user interface board and the main control PCB.
  • Dry moisture: If condensation or spills are evident, dry the area thoroughly. Allow the panel to air dry for several hours before reassembly.
  • Test buttons: After reassembly and restoring power, test each button. If some or all remain unresponsive, replace the user interface / keypad assembly.

Note: Avoid spraying cleaners directly onto the control panel; apply to a cloth first to prevent future moisture damage.
