Possible Causes
Child lock feature enabled, Timer set to auto with no active program, Faulty keypad not registering presses
How to Fix / Troubleshooting
Safety: No internal work is needed initially; follow user controls first.
- Disable child lock: Refer to the user manual. Commonly, holding a specific button (e.g. lock symbol or two keys together) for several seconds toggles the lock.
- Check timer mode: Ensure the timer is set to manual mode. Cancel any delayed start or auto programs.
- Test keypad: If some buttons never respond, the touchpad may be faulty (see F06). Replace the control panel if necessary.
