How to Fix / Troubleshooting

Safety first: Disconnect power before removing the control panel.

  • Check for lock mode: Ensure the control lock feature is not engaged (see LOC instructions).
  • Inspect overlay: Look for cracks, bubbling, or wear on the keypad overlay. Physical damage usually requires replacement.
  • Ribbon cable: Remove the control panel and verify the keypad ribbon is fully seated in the EOC connector. Clean contacts if necessary.
  • Replace keypad: If specific buttons consistently fail, replace the keypad/touch panel assembly with the correct American Range part.
