How to Fix / Troubleshooting

Safety: Unplug the microwave before removing the control panel or touching internal wiring.

Initial steps:

  • Unplug the unit for 2–3 minutes to reset the electronics, then reconnect and test.
  • Wipe the control panel surface with a dry, soft cloth to remove moisture or spills; avoid spraying cleaner directly on the panel.

Panel and cable inspection:

  • Remove the top grille (if built-in) and the control panel mounting screws as per Teka instructions.
  • Carefully tilt the control panel forward to access the ribbon cable.
  • Disconnect and reconnect the keypad ribbon cable to the main PCB, ensuring it is fully seated and not corroded.
  • Inspect the cable for cracks or kinks; replace the touch control panel if the membrane is damaged.

Note: If E06 persists after reseating the cable and drying the area, the control PCB or keypad assembly may need replacement.
