Possible Causes

Worn contacts in function selector switch, Broken selector shaft, Loose wiring on selector terminals, Faulty mode encoder on electronic models

How to Fix / Troubleshooting

Safety first: Isolate from mains before removing the control panel.

  • Check selector operation: Rotate the function knob through all positions. If it feels loose, skips positions, or does not click, the selector is likely worn and should be replaced.
  • Inspect contacts and wiring: Access the selector switch and look for burnt or oxidized contacts and loose spade connectors. Clean contacts with electrical cleaner and tighten or replace connectors.
  • Test continuity: Using the wiring diagram (if available), test continuity between selector terminals in each mode. Replace the selector if contacts do not close as specified.
  • Electronic encoder: On models with electronic mode selection, inspect the encoder and its connection to the PCB. Replace the encoder or UI board if faulty.
