Possible Causes

Loose ribbon cable between keypad and PCB, Damaged touch panel, Corroded connector from moisture, Failed keypad controller IC

How to Fix / Troubleshooting

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

  • Dry out moisture: If liquid was spilled on the control panel, unplug immediately and let the unit dry for 24–48 hours in a warm, dry area. Do not use heat sources that could warp plastic.
  • Check for stuck buttons: Gently press each button to ensure none are physically stuck or jammed. Wipe the panel with a soft, slightly damp cloth and dry thoroughly.
  • Inspect ribbon cable (advanced): Remove the front panel to access the keypad ribbon cable. Ensure it is fully seated in the connector and not damaged.
  • Test operation: Reassemble, plug in, and test. If E9 remains and buttons are unresponsive, the keypad or control board likely needs replacement.
  • Replace affected part: Install a new Zavor keypad membrane or complete control panel assembly as specified for your model.
