Possible Causes
Failed display module, Loose or damaged ribbon cable between display and main control, Moisture intrusion into control panel, Faulty EOC communication circuit
How to Fix / Troubleshooting
Safety first: Disconnect power at the breaker before removing the control panel.
- Dry out moisture: If the error appeared after steam cleaning or heavy cooking, leave the oven powered off for several hours to allow the control area to dry.
- Reseat cables: Remove the control panel and carefully reseat all ribbon cables and connectors between the display module and the main control board. Ensure they are fully inserted and not pinched.
- Inspect for corrosion: Look for green/white corrosion on connector pins. Clean lightly with electronic contact cleaner and a soft brush, then reconnect.
- Module swap: If available, replace the display/touch module first. If the problem persists, the main EOC may also need replacement.
