Poolworld Unresponsive Controls / Keypad Failure

Heater display works but heater does not respond to temperature changes or mode selection

Possible Causes

Worn keypad membrane, Stuck buttons, Faulty display board, Loose ribbon cable

How to Fix / Troubleshooting

Safety first: Turn OFF power before removing the control panel.

  • Check for stuck buttons: Press each button individually and feel for normal travel. If any button feels stuck, gently work it free; do not use sharp tools.
  • Inspect ribbon cable: Ensure the cable between the keypad and main board is fully seated and not damaged.
  • Clean panel surface: Wipe the keypad with a slightly damp cloth (power OFF) to remove dirt that may interfere with button operation.
  • Replace keypad: If controls remain unresponsive, replace the keypad/display assembly with a Poolworld-compatible part.

Note: Some heaters can be locked via settings; verify that a lockout feature is not enabled in the menu.
