Possible Causes

Worn membrane keypad on Fafco controller, Moisture intrusion behind front panel, Loose ribbon cable between keypad and main board, Corroded keypad contacts

How to Fix / Troubleshooting

Safety: Turn off power before removing the controller cover.

  • Dry moisture: If condensation or water is visible behind the display, dry the area thoroughly and improve weather sealing.
  • Check ribbon cable: Ensure the keypad ribbon cable is firmly seated in its connector on the main board.
  • Test individual buttons: With power restored, test each button. If only some fail, the keypad membrane is likely damaged.
  • Replace front panel: Install a new Fafco controller front panel or entire controller assembly if the keypad is not separately replaceable.
