Loose ribbon cable between Thermeau display board and main board, Moisture intrusion into keypad, Failed display/control panel, Control board communication fault
How to Fix / Troubleshooting
Safety first: Disconnect power before removing the front panel or display assembly.
- Inspect display cable: Remove the front cover and locate the ribbon or harness connecting the display/keypad to the main control board. Ensure it is fully seated at both ends.
- Check for moisture: Look for signs of condensation or water ingress behind the display. Dry the area thoroughly and correct any source of leaks (e.g., poor outdoor mounting, missing gasket).
- Clean connectors: Use electrical contact cleaner on the display and board connectors, then reconnect firmly.
- Test keypad: Restore power and test each button. If some keys do not respond or F11 remains, the display/keypad assembly may need replacement.
- Board replacement: If a new display does not resolve the issue, the main control board may be at fault and should be replaced with the correct Thermeau board.
