Possible Causes

Damaged membrane keypad, Loose ribbon cable from keypad to control board, Moisture ingress behind control panel, Faulty control PCB keypad interface

How to Fix / Troubleshooting

Safety first: Disconnect power before removing any panels.

User-level checks:

  • Wipe the keypad surface with a slightly damp cloth and then dry thoroughly. Do not spray cleaner directly onto the panel.
  • Leave the door open and allow the control panel area to dry for several hours if steam or moisture has been present.
  • Unplug the unit for 10 minutes to reset the control, then test all keys.

Technician-level checks:

  • Remove the control panel assembly to access the keypad ribbon cable.
  • Reseat the ribbon connector on the control PCB and inspect for corrosion or damage.
  • Test keypad matrix continuity according to Hoover service diagrams; if certain keys do not register, replace the membrane keypad or entire control panel fascia.
  • If keypad tests good, suspect the control PCB.

Recommendation: For persistent E09, replacing the keypad assembly is usually the most effective repair.
