Possible Causes

Worn rotary selector shaft, cracked control knobs, broken mounting clips on control panel, damaged encoder

How to Fix / Troubleshooting

Safety first: Disconnect power before removing the control panel.

  • Inspect knobs: Pull off removable knobs and check for cracks or worn splines. Replace damaged knobs.
  • Check selector shaft: Wiggle the shaft of the function or temperature selector. Excessive play may indicate a worn switch or encoder that needs replacement.
  • Control panel mounts: Ensure the control panel is securely fastened and not flexing when operated.
  • Replace selector/encoder: If functions do not change reliably when turning the knob, replace the selector switch or encoder on the control PCB.
