How to Fix / Troubleshooting
Safety: Disconnect power before accessing controls.
- Hard reset: Turn off the breaker for 10–15 minutes to fully discharge the control. Restore power and test.
- Check harness connections: Remove the control panel and verify all multi-pin connectors between the display/user interface board and main control are fully seated.
- Inspect for damage: Look for signs of arcing or burnt components on the control board. If present, replace the board.
