Buttons on the control panel respond intermittently or require very hard presses.

This repair may involve working with high voltage components or water connections. Always unplug the appliance before removing any panels.

If you are not confident in your ability to perform this repair safely, we strongly recommend contacting a professional technician.

Possible Causes

Moisture ingress behind control panel, Worn conductive pads on membrane keypad, Loose keypad ribbon cable, Cracked control panel PCB

Safety first: Unplug the cooker before working on the control panel.

Dry out: If the panel was exposed to steam or spills, allow the unit to dry for 24 hours in a warm, dry place.
Clean surface: Wipe the control panel with a slightly damp cloth, then dry. Do not spray cleaner directly onto the panel.
Reseat ribbon cable (advanced): Remove the front panel and reseat the keypad ribbon cable on the main board.
Replace keypad: If certain buttons never respond, the membrane keypad or control panel PCB may need replacement.
