Possible Causes

Loose keypad ribbon cable, Damaged touch panel, Failed main control keypad interface

How to Fix / Troubleshooting

Safety first: Turn off power at the breaker before accessing the control panel.

  • Access control panel: Remove the rear cover behind the control panel. Locate the flat ribbon cable from the touch panel to the main control board.
  • Reseat cable: Gently release the locking tabs and remove the ribbon. Inspect for corrosion or damage, clean contacts with isopropyl alcohol, and reinsert fully, ensuring it is straight and fully seated.
  • Check for moisture: If the panel was recently cleaned with liquid, allow it to dry completely for several hours with power off. Avoid spraying cleaners directly on the panel in the future.
  • Test operation: Restore power and test all keys. If F11 returns or some keys do not respond, the touch panel or main control may need replacement.
  • Replace faulty component: If the keypad overlay is separate, replace it first. If integrated or if replacing the overlay does not help, replace the main control board.
