Possible Causes

Moisture under keypad, Worn keypad membrane, Loose ribbon cable, Faulty control PCB

How to Fix / Troubleshooting

Safety first: Unplug the cooker before working on the control panel.

Simple steps:

  • Wipe the panel dry and allow the cooker to sit unplugged for several hours to dry out if moisture is suspected.
  • Try pressing buttons with firm, even pressure.

Internal checks (advanced):

  • Access the control panel and reseat the ribbon cable connecting it to the main board.
  • Inspect the keypad membrane for cracks or delamination.

If specific buttons never respond, the keypad membrane likely needs replacement. If the entire panel is dead but the unit powers on, the control board may be faulty.
