Possible Causes

Faulty Start button or touch sensor, Child lock function enabled, Firmware glitch, Damaged keypad ribbon cable

How to Fix / Troubleshooting

Safety first: Unplug the cooker before opening the control panel.

  • Check display icons: Look for a child lock symbol. If present, disable the lock according to the user manual (often by holding a specific key for several seconds).
  • Panel cleaning: Clean the control panel surface and ensure your fingers are dry when operating touch keys.
  • Power reset: Unplug for 5–10 minutes, then plug back in and try again.
  • Inspect keypad cable: Remove the front cover and check the ribbon cable from the keypad to the PCB. Reseat it firmly.
  • Replace keypad: If the Start key remains unresponsive while others work, replace the control panel/keypad assembly.
