F1 error code appears and cooker is unresponsive to most commands.

This repair may involve working with high voltage components or water connections. Always unplug the appliance before removing any panels.

If you are not confident in your ability to perform this repair safely, we strongly recommend contacting a professional technician.

Possible Causes

Shorted keypad membrane, Moisture ingress into control panel, Damaged ribbon cable between keypad and PCB

Safety first: Unplug the cooker before touching the control panel internals.

Dry the panel: If there was a spill, leave the unit unplugged in a dry area for 24 hours to allow moisture to evaporate.
Clean surface: Wipe the panel with a dry cloth to remove grease and residue.
Inspect ribbon cable (advanced): Remove the front panel and check the flat ribbon cable from the keypad to the main board. Ensure it is fully inserted and not torn.

If F1 persists, the keypad membrane or control board must be replaced as a unit.
