How to Fix / Troubleshooting
Safety first: Unplug the cooker before opening the housing or touching any internal wiring.
- Access control panel: Remove screws securing the front control panel or top housing (model dependent). Carefully lift the panel to expose the ribbon cable.
- Check ribbon cable: Ensure the flat cable is fully inserted into its connector on the main board and on the keypad side. Gently remove and reinsert to clean contacts.
- Inspect for damage: Look for kinks, tears, or burn marks on the ribbon. Any visible damage usually requires replacement.
- Clean connectors: Use a dry, soft brush or compressed air to remove dust from connectors. Do not use liquid cleaners.
- Reassemble and test: Refit the control panel, plug in, and test button response. If C0 persists, the keypad or board may be defective.
- Replacement: Replace the control panel keypad assembly or main control board as needed. This repair is best handled by a technician if you are not experienced with electronics.
