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.
