How to Fix / Troubleshooting

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

  • Power reset: Unplug for 10–15 minutes, then plug back in and test the keys again.
  • Check for moisture: Look for condensation or spills around the control panel. If present, unplug and allow the unit to dry for 24 hours.
  • Inspect ribbon cable (advanced): If you are qualified and the unit is out of warranty, remove the outer shell to access the control panel. Reseat the ribbon cable connecting the keypad to the main control board.
  • Replace control panel: If specific buttons remain dead, replace the control panel keypad assembly or user interface board as appropriate for the model.
