Possible Causes

Moisture on touch panel, Damaged touch membrane, Loose ribbon cable between keypad and control board, Failed control PCB keypad interface

How to Fix / Troubleshooting

Safety: Unplug the microwave before cleaning or moving it.

User-level steps:

  • 1. Dry the control panel: If there was recent steam or liquid spill, wipe the touch panel with a dry, soft cloth. Do not spray cleaner directly on the panel; spray onto the cloth first.
  • 2. Let it air out: Leave the door open and allow the unit to sit unplugged for 30–60 minutes to let any internal moisture evaporate.
  • 3. Power reset: Plug back in and test the keypad. Try multiple keys to see if the error recurs.
  • 4. Check for physical damage: Look for cracks, dents, or punctures on the touch panel that may indicate a damaged membrane.

Technician-level checks:

  • Remove the control panel assembly and reseat the keypad ribbon cable on the control board.
  • Test the keypad membrane for continuity on key matrix lines.
  • Replace the control panel / keypad assembly or main PCB if defective.

If E06 persists after drying and resetting, professional service is recommended.
