Possible Causes
Loose ribbon cable between display and main board, Failed display/keypad module, Moisture intrusion into control panel, Faulty main control board interface
How to Fix / Troubleshooting
Safety first: Disconnect power before opening the control panel. Avoid static discharge to electronic components.
- Inspect control panel: Remove the front bezel to access the Nirvana display/keypad module. Look for signs of water ingress, condensation, or corrosion.
- Check ribbon cable: Reseat the flat ribbon cable or harness between the display and the main control board. Ensure connectors are fully engaged and not damaged.
- Dry panel: If moisture is present, gently dry the area with a clean cloth and allow the panel to air dry completely before reassembly. Address any source of leaks into the heater cabinet.
- Test operation: Restore power and check if F09 clears. If the error persists, the display module or main board may be defective.
- Replace module if needed: Swap in a new OEM Nirvana display/keypad assembly, or have a technician test and replace the main control board.
