Possible Causes

Defective touch keypad membrane, Failed user interface (UI) board, Loose ribbon cable between keypad and control board, Liquid ingress into control panel

How to Fix / Troubleshooting

Safety first: Disconnect power before touching the control panel area for inspection.

Basic checks:

  • Wipe the control panel with a soft, slightly damp cloth and then dry thoroughly. Ensure no moisture is trapped around the keys.
  • Check if certain keys are unresponsive or stuck. Do not press excessively hard on the panel.
  • Reset the microwave by unplugging it for 2–3 minutes, then reconnecting power. Try operating again.

If E04 persists:

  • The touch keypad or UI board may be defective or have a loose ribbon connection.
  • Do not attempt to remove the control panel unless you are trained; the panel is integrated with low-voltage electronics and can be damaged easily.
  • Schedule service to have the keypad membrane or UI board inspected and replaced as needed.
