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.
