Possible Causes

Loose ribbon cable between keypad and main PCB, Moisture ingress behind control panel, Failed touch keypad membrane, Faulty main control PCB

How to Fix / Troubleshooting

Safety first: Unplug the multicooker before touching the control panel area.

  • Dry the panel: If the panel was recently cleaned or exposed to steam, leave the unit unplugged in a dry, warm room for 24 hours to allow moisture to evaporate.
  • Do not spray cleaners directly: Always apply cleaner to a cloth first, then wipe the panel to avoid liquid entering the electronics.
  • Check for physical damage: Look for cracks in the display window or lifted edges of the keypad overlay that could allow moisture in.
  • Power reset: After drying, plug in and test. If E7 persists or some buttons do not respond, the keypad or control board likely needs replacement.

Opening the control panel to reseat the ribbon cable or replace the keypad should be done by a service professional to avoid damaging the PCB.
