Possible Causes
How to Fix / Troubleshooting
Safety first: Turn off power at the breaker before opening the control panel. Avoid spraying cleaners directly on the keypad.
Step-by-step checks:
- Dry the panel: If the error appeared after cleaning, leave power off and allow the control panel to dry for several hours. Use a fan to speed drying.
- Inspect keypad: Remove the control panel cover and inspect the keypad membrane for cracks, warping, or liquid residue.
- Check ribbon cable: Disconnect and inspect the flat cable for corrosion or damage at the connector. Clean contacts gently if needed.
- Test operation: After reseating the cable and reassembling, restore power and test. If F7 returns immediately, the keypad or control board is likely defective.
When to replace parts: Replace the touch keypad assembly if it is separate from the board. If integrated, replace the control panel / electronic control assembly.
