Possible Causes

Moisture intrusion into control panel, Worn or cracked keypad membrane, Loose ribbon cable between keypad and control board

How to Fix / Troubleshooting

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

  • Dry out moisture: If the panel was recently cleaned with liquid, leave the unit unplugged in a dry area for 24 hours to allow moisture to evaporate.
  • Clean surface: Wipe the panel with a soft, dry cloth to remove grease or residue that may interfere with touch sensitivity.
  • Check for physical damage: Look for cracks, bubbles, or peeling on the keypad overlay. Damaged overlays usually require replacement.
  • Inspect ribbon cable (advanced): Remove the outer housing (unplugged) and ensure the keypad ribbon cable is firmly seated in the control board connector.
  • Replace keypad assembly: If only certain buttons fail or require excessive force, the keypad assembly should be replaced.
