How to Fix / Troubleshooting

Safety first: Turn off power before removing the control panel if needed.

Simple reset and cleaning:

  • Disconnect power for 5–10 minutes to reset the electronics.
  • Clean the touch control glass with a soft, slightly damp cloth and dry thoroughly; avoid harsh chemicals.

Panel inspection:

  • If a particular key appears permanently active, the touch sensor or key matrix may be defective.
  • Remove the control panel and inspect the UI board for damage or corrosion.
  • Replace the user interface panel if individual keys no longer respond correctly.

Software-related issues may require a firmware update, which can only be performed by authorized Liebherr service.
