How to Fix / Troubleshooting
Safety first: Disconnect power at the breaker before accessing the control panel.
Steps to check:
- Keypad test: Press each button individually and feel for one that is stuck or does not click. Clean the surface with a soft cloth.
- Drying: If F0 appeared after a spill, allow 24 hours with power off for the keypad to dry.
- Ribbon cable: Remove the back cover, disconnect the keypad ribbon from the EOC, inspect for damage, and reseat.
- Isolate fault: Power up briefly with keypad disconnected:
- If F0 still appears, replace the EOC.
- If F0 disappears, replace the keypad/control panel assembly.
Warning: Do not spray cleaners directly onto the control panel; always apply to a cloth first to avoid future keypad failures.
