Possible Causes

Worn START button on touch panel, Faulty keypad membrane, Loose keypad ribbon cable, Control board input failure

How to Fix / Troubleshooting

Safety first: Unplug before removing the control panel.

  • Panel cleaning: Wipe the control panel with a soft, slightly damp cloth to remove grease that may affect touch sensitivity. Dry thoroughly.
  • Try different programs: Confirm whether any buttons respond. If only START is unresponsive, the issue is likely localized to that key.
  • Inspect ribbon cable (advanced): Remove the front panel and reseat the keypad ribbon cable on the PCB.

When to call a technician: If the START key remains non-functional, the touch panel or control board will need replacement.
