How to Fix / Troubleshooting

Safety first: Turn off power at the breaker. Do not spray liquids directly on the control panel.

Step-by-step checks:

  • Clean the panel: Wipe the control panel surface with a slightly damp cloth and mild detergent. Dry thoroughly. If the error appeared after a spill or heavy cleaning, allow the panel to dry for several hours with power off.
  • Inspect keypad ribbon: Remove the control panel cover to access the keypad ribbon. Check for signs of moisture, corrosion, or physical damage.
  • Disconnect keypad test: With power off, disconnect the keypad ribbon from the EOC. Restore power briefly:
    • If F7 appears with keypad disconnected, the EOC is likely faulty.
    • If F7 disappears, the keypad is shorted and must be replaced.
  • Replace faulty part: Install a new keypad/touch panel or EOC as indicated. Transfer wiring carefully and reassemble.
