Possible Causes

Loose ribbon cable between display and main PCB, Oxidized connectors, Faulty touch panel, Defective user interface PCB

How to Fix / Troubleshooting

Safety first: Turn off the oven at the mains before removing the control panel.

Step-by-step checks:

  • Access control panel: Remove the front trim or screws securing the control panel to expose the user interface board and ribbon cables.
  • Reseat connectors: Carefully unplug and reinsert the flat ribbon cables between the display/touch panel and the main PCB. Ensure they are straight and fully inserted.
  • Inspect for moisture: Look for signs of steam or moisture ingress behind the panel. Dry gently and improve sealing if necessary.
  • Check for cracks: Examine the glass or plastic touch surface for cracks that may affect touch sensing. Replace the touch panel if damaged.
  • Replace UI board: If F12 persists and buttons remain unresponsive, replace the V-ZUG user interface PCB as a complete assembly.

When to call a technician: If you are not comfortable handling delicate ribbon cables or glass panels, have an authorized service partner perform the repair.
