Possible Causes
Worn membrane keypad, Moisture behind control panel, Damaged ribbon cable, Faulty touch controller IC
How to Fix / Troubleshooting
Safety: Unplug before removing the control panel.
Steps:
- 1. Clean surface: Wipe the keypad with a dry cloth. Do not spray cleaner directly onto it.
- 2. Dry out moisture: If the issue started after heavy steam cooking, leave the door open and let the unit dry for several hours.
- 3. Test all keys: Note which keys work and which do not; patterns often indicate membrane failure.
- 4. Inspect ribbon (DIYers): Remove the control panel and reseat the keypad ribbon cable on the control board.
Resolution: Replace the membrane keypad or entire control panel assembly with the correct IKEA-compatible part.
