Panasonic Keypad / Tact Switch Failure

Buttons on the control panel are unresponsive or respond intermittently.

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

Worn tact switches, Moisture under control panel, Loose ribbon cable, Cracked control PCB

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

Dry panel: If liquid was spilled on the panel, allow it to dry completely. Do not use the cooker until fully dry.
Inspect cable: Remove the front panel and reseat the keypad ribbon cable on the PCB.
Test switches: Press each button and listen/feel for a click. Replace individual tact switches or the entire control panel PCB if multiple keys fail.
